LANSING - The Natural Resources Commission permitted wolf hunting last year, and 23 wolves were killed.

This year, things will be different.

The Natural Resources Commission has confirmed that there would be no gray wolf hunting this year in the State of Michigan.

Michigan held it's first wolf hunt in four decades last year and people opposed say this endangers the species recovery.

Those in favor of hunting believe it helps control attacks on livestock and pets.

Two proposals will be presented on the November ballot so citizens can vote on the overturning of making wolves a game species.

Some don't believe the results of the vote will be of great impact.

"The citizens of the state have an opportunity to express their opinion in the November election, will that have any impact on it? No," said Russ Mason Chief of the Wild Life Division for the Department of Natural Resources. "I think MUCC has called it an exit poll. Maybe it is maybe its not but fundamentally non of those will have any impact on the authority of the natural resources commission to designate a season if they choose to do so."

The Michigan General Election will take place on November 4th.
