The "hunting" of exotics behind high fences to me is not a problem. Some hunters/sportsmen have some sort of physical restrictions that prevent them from hunting out in the wild. Some other hunters/sportsmen simply can not afford the cost of going to say Africa to hunt as it is very sxpensive. Some animals in the wild do not have the population necessary to allow for them to be hunted. Others go to these places for a meat hunt such as Buffalo as well as other large animals. What harm are these people doing to anyone? Just as they outlawed the game raising and hunting of Elk in one Western state, this bill is another attempt to regulate sportsmen, hunting, guns, amunition and recreation activities. Not to mention the putting out of work of hundreds or more who are employed with the raising and stocking of these animals. To try to prohibit this is wrong.

Is this just another attempt to take away another form of hunting. These people pay money to Hunt this game, and it is also a business for the ranch owner. So what is the fear here, that someone might be able to spend some money or make some money So are you also going to get rid of exotic fish and reptile's because you know one day they will die, just like the animals that are being harvested. Notice I didn't say being Killed, because there not . Way to go Michigan Rep, another shot to the Michigan sagging economy and Michigan's hunter's

with the way the world(Michigan most of all) is going and economy we need more money generated in Michigan, not take away jobs and businesses..get this man out of office before he hurts Michigan more...
