Default RE: Michigan man sues DNR for recent bait ban

Does Michigan consider Food Plots as baiting? Sugar beats are greatas a food plot suplement. Not sure what to do about the corn issue there though. Im from WI and its hard in quite a few areas here to get deer without baiting. When the CWD outbreak occoured here, they quarentined certain areas and those areas are the ones that are CWD controlled hunts. If Michigan was smart, theyd take the area that they found the cwd in, set it in its own zone so many Sq miles and have that zone as a CWD zone area, anything is legal to shoot in CWD zones but baiting is not. The rest of the state that is legal for baiting has a 2gallon limit per 40 acres per hunter. I think MI needs to look towards WI as an example on how to control the issue at hand. I think WIhas done a great job on trying to control it, even though it may never get truely controlled, but we are making the efforts to do so.
