I hunt with bait in Michigan's UP, but it is limited bait, probably 3-4 apples (scent) and some oats (6-7 oz)...I do this only to get the does to stop in for a while, to at least slow up the bucks for a shot, I have seen many bucks (without bait) in my area where they are on a tail of a fast moving doe...I hunt a cedar swamp and my shots are limited...this is my way...I also bow hunt in Lower Michigan (without bait of course) and use calls, rattles, etc....with success as well. I think the law is a good law, and will abide with the law not matter how long it stands...if they increase it to include the UP, well then I will do something else to get the does to stop and stay long enough for a good shot at a buck...
