If you are happy with the way you take game animals, in whichever form it may be, then why the need to justify it?
Bruce coming from MI and hunting the NLP a lot the past 25 year, I think I know what the issues is with the baiting ban for some.
Pland and simple, and not to be mean, it's the only way they know/knew how to hunt.
I have baited with my family in NLP a long time. If you take the bait away NLP becomes extremly tough to hunt. There are no woodlots, funnels, etc. Just big woods and ridges, it's a different way to hunt.
Without the ability to drop some bait 150 yds of the road and draw deer to them, a lot of hunters in MI are screwed. It is what it is.
Baiting in MI is banned for the rest of my life
I am good with all of that. Hell, I am good with baiting if it is legal and what you want to do. What bugs me is the need to justify it by saying hunting an oak stand is the same as baiting. It is not even close but that always comes up in the "baiting arguments".
I am good with
any type of legal hunting but what bugs me are the attempts to justify it to other people. Why? If you(anyone) like the way you hunt whether it is over bait, in a High Fence, with a traditional bow, a compound bow, so on and so on, then why the need to justify to a bunch of made up names on the internet? You don't need their approval so why all the arguments trying to justify the way(anyone) you hunt?
