Default RE: Michigan man sues DNR for recent bait ban

Wisconsin has had CWD in there deer herd for over 20 years, but somehow they manage to harvest over 500,000 deer last year and every year they shoot some of the biggest deer in that state. I've hunted Wisconsin many times for deer and hunted the CWD zones and I can tell you this gets blown way out of proportion. I will say that banning of baits such as sugar beets, apples and such should be done IF they find CWD outside a fenced in deer herd. Corn I still feel is fine, as long as it is not on the cob. If its spread out over a decent size area, I find it no different than a group of deer feeding under an acrorn tree.

I do agree with the guy suing that state of Michigan. The disease hasn't been found in any wild deer yet and Michigan is hitting the emergency button. This guy should be furious and I would do the same thing. Any business is a gamble, but when your government screws you over then you have the right to be pissed. I hope everyone who planted Sugar Beets sues the state of Michigan until they have proof that CWD is in the deer herd.
