I think I understand your point with the link. Michigan does distinguish between baiting and feeding. Both are legal. Page 60 of the 2014 Michigan Hunting Guide goes into details. In summary:
Baiting to aid in hunting deer, is legal except for the four counties.
Feeding is for wildlife viewing and is legal for elk as well, but you cannot hunt over feed.
I have never hunted elk and since the OP's picture was of deer, I incorrectly assumed this entire thread was on deer.
Awesome picture.
