RE: No Baiting in MI
I agree with almost everything you all say.I have grown up in an era that baits. It is what I have been taught by all deer hunters in Michigan. People who state they are QDM hunters are the minority. I don't know if people will ever understand the "let small bucks walk and shoot a doe instead". The only reason I can understand shooting a small buck, gun or bow is if it is your first. I was in the position not long ago and that "baby" fork horn may have been the only thing toget me hooked on hunting.
Stikbow ---- You made a comment on page 3 after I commented the first time about the 70's when people didn't bait and the deer would feed all day. My only question is why would the deer feed all day if people didn't bait? The reason I see the deer some out to feed is the competition for food. This is because most of the areas I do get to hunt have little food sources, but do carry great bucks.
