RE: Deer Aren't Eating The Bait?
I'm in MI too (upper). Yes there are a ton of acorns for the deer to eat but you would be better off baiting with corn or apples. As far as the sugar beets go, I've never tried them but i've heard if you chop them up a little and put salt on them to bring out the juice, that the deer will eat them. I have no doubt in my area the the deer prefer the corn/apples to acorns though. Also, it doesnt matter if its in a 'pile' or spread around...they will still eat it.
