For all of you that are saying people will need to learn how to hunt for real now are probably the ones hunting the private land with ideal ratios and good deer numbers, how many of you have actually hunted public land in northern MI? when you're seeing 5 deer over a week span a little bait livens things up a little bit, i read a fact in one of my recent hunting magazine, it was either Bowhunter or Bowhunting and it stated that hunters that hunted over bait had lower success than those that didnt use bait, so dont go thinking that its like shooting fish in a barrel like so many people think, I can understand not needing bait in the south but up north is a whole different story.
