I just found this site and thought i would chime in. I have lived in N.W lower all my life. hunting state land. The only one's this ban is hurting is the farmers who rely on US hunters to substantiate their income. In my opinion baiting isnt for me but to each his own. I garuntee this wont last. there is already too much opposition to it. Stikbow26 has it right its too bad michigan cant get their crap together. and if this crossbow legislation passes the senate, all us TRUE bowhunters are gonna be screwed!
