If it wasn't so sad, I'd get a good laugh out of the DNR's actions here. Basically they have contradicted themselves twice
1. "We need to ban baiting because we think it can increase the spread of CWD."/Allow in in "The Zone" so that our 2.5% infection rate can grow.
2. "You actually have a better chance of seeing and killing deer WITHOUT baiting."/Baiting is needed in "the zone" to increase the harvest.

Not only that, right on the heels of this brilliant move, they have now pushed for a permanent ban on baiting throughout the rest of the state. I myself never baited and was probably one of the few in that debate who was as close to neutral on the subject as you could get. I just find the timing to be rather humorous!

I never thought an entire state agency could suffer from a bipolar disorder...
