RE: No Baiting in MI
Buckhunter that is because you come from the generation that was taught to just bait, If you could have been in woods back in the 70"s when I started and seen how the deer walked around all day long because they had to to feed then you would know what we are talking about. Michigan will never be the same as then I understand but baiting has hurt Michigan deer hunting more than any other thing out there. I travel to leave Michigan every year to hunt big bucks because Michigan hunters just don't get it.If we could really get baiting banned here but we wont beacuse to many guys say the he## with the DNR and are going to bait any ways, you would see that probely 1/2 of our 1 1/2 yr old bucks would survive and then if we could get the brown it's down guys to just a doe instead of a little buck Michigan could get back in the ranks of where out of state hunters would actully want to come here and hunt. I knowI am going to get slammed by the you just want to be a trophy hunter guys out there and don't make me, but ask your self this? I just went down last weekend to our property in southern Illinois and just filming Saturday night saw 8 bucks that will go over 150 inchs and 1 that will go in the 170's and about 10 others that would go about 115 to 100 inchs nowwouldn't that be nice to go out hunting here in Michigan and see them kind of bucks running around here instead of 4 spikes and 2 4 pts and think you had a great night.. If we could truely get rid of baiting it would start a shift to bring that back to Michigan.. Walt
