If its legal, I'll do it and have done it in Michigan and didn't think twice about it. If its not legal, then I don't do it. Never have I thought of myself as less of a hunter because I bait. There are plenty of food sources where I hunt in Michigan and the deer can go to any of them, Ive never had a deer sit at a bait pile for that long, usually its just a stopping point on there way somewhere else. Seems like with the baiting ban this year, this subject has come up alot and now were just beating a dead horse.
