[quote="Adam Minnick"]I would love to see a $5 charge for the tag, we could give $1 to Snyder and put the rest into wolf lake [smilie=2thumbsup.gif]
If i remember right that was also a major reason I can't shoot doves in this state too! and they are tasty too 👿
That and PETA payed for a bunch of advertising that claimed it would enable them to freely remove any species from the list of game animals, but i think the tag was a big part of it.
Anyone know why they still have doves on the HIP survey btw???
Pretty sure that's a federal survey and there's one for each flyway. At least I think I remember it works that way.
Anglers split over proposed changes to spearing, bowfishing in Michigan
“There were a lot of dates and a lot of restrictions on certain locations. We tried to do away with that by expanding it to open-all-year,” LeSage said. “But we do have waters that are still going to be closed to spearing” including designated trout waters, broodstock lakes, and areas with small, native populations of pike or muskie.
“It’s a handful of waters that we are trying to manage and protect,” he said.

DNR Simplifies Fish Spearing Regulations
New spear and bow-and-arrow angling regulations, announced by the Department of Natural Resources, will provide additional recreational opportunities starting in the 2012 fishing season.
The changes are a result of a multi-year review process begun by an internal DNR Fisheries Division workgroup designed to simplify spearing regulations. Changes in the regulations were made in concert with citizens on the Warmwater Resources Advisory Committee and signed in a fisheries order by DNR Director Rodney Stokes.
Beginning April 1, licensed anglers will be allowed to use spears and bows and arrows to take designated species of fish year-round, except on designated trout waters or as noted in the list of non-spearing waters. Gizzard shad, goldfish and grass carp have been added to the list of species.
The season for spearing northern pike and muskellunge through the ice will remain Dec. 1 – March 15, but the number of waters prohibiting spearing for pike and muskellunge has been reduced from 40 to 30.
