Are you hunting this weekend? |
With two deer hunting seasons behind us and another set to begin this weekend, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is offering several safety tips to hunters using tree stands.
Remember this year there's a new rule, hunters are now required to report online within 72 hours any successful harvest. If a hunter fails to report a harvest, it is a potential 90-day misdemeanor. Fines can range from $50 to $500.
However, a bill passed the Michigan House last week aiming to remove the jail time component of forgetting to report a deer kill while also lowering the fine levied to just $150. It now moves over to the Senate for consideration.

Two affordable Michigan cities make national ‘hottest housing market’ list |
Top 20: Two Michigan cities landed in the top 20 for housing markets gaining interest among buyers. Monroe came in at No. 7 and Saginaw snuck in at No. 19.
What makes them wanted: Low supply is pushing demand in Saginaw. Based on Realtor.com data, viewers per property in Saginaw were 1.4 times more than the average property in the U.S. Interest in Monroe listings were even greater at 2.1 times more views than the typical home in the U.S. and was described as a "hidden gem". Don't forget Ann Arbor: Ann Arbor clinched the No.1 ranking on an inaugural list of Best Places to Live for Families compiled by Fortune and released in late September. |

Dungeon of Doom: Blowing it in Minnesota, plus a chat with someone who scouted Amon-Ra St. Brown |
Lions podcast time! The guys talk to Detroit Lions assistant GM Ray Agnew about scouting talent and how a guy like Amon-Ra St. Brown fell so far in the draft (and why the Lions are lucky to have a guy like him). Some tea was spilled in this one: In case you missed the last episode, Kyle and Ben welcome Glover Quin to the program for a conversation about what went so wrong under Matt Patricia and how things are trending back up under Dan Campbell.
The lastest in the Lions: The Detroit Lions were without 10 players as they began installing the game plan for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, including offensive starters like Amon-Ra St. Brown, D’Andre Swift, Josh Reynolds, T.J. Hockenson, Jonah Jackson and Frank Ragnow. |

Mackinac Bridge Authority once again urges lawmakers to make trespassing on bridge a felony |
The Mackinac Bridge Authority has once again called on the Michigan Senate to approve legislation they say will make the bridge safer. Introduced by Rep. John Damoose (R-Harbor Springs), House Bill 5315 would make it a felony to trespass on Michigan’s major bridges including the Mackinac Bridge. The MBA made a similar plea in July.
A pause in the process: The legislation was passed with overwhelming support in the Michigan House on Feb. 16 but has not been heard in the Senate despite a recommendation to pass from the Transportation and Infrastructure commitee in mid-June.
Want to work with a view? The Michigan Department of Transportation is hiring workers to help maintain the Mackinac Bridge.
