Mods don't need your help.

If this is true, it is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!!! How in the hell is a hunter supposed to know where the property lines are???

Now I know how they passed those stupid pot laws!!!!!!!!!!!!! They must all be stoned in Colorado.

great picture

Every state I've hunted, KS, SD, CO, MO. It's up to the hunter to know where they are. Wandering on to private land is no excuse for trespassing.

So let's say your on a national forest or state land and wander onto private property? Sorry, in Va. we post property and we don't ticket hunters or citizens for wandering onto private land that is not clearly marked or posted.

So I still have to say this is beyond weird to me! My thoughts pal.

I apologize, if things have gotten out-of-hand in discussions of this thread, which has now been sidetracked to different discussions. I started all this off-tracking stuff and feel a little responsible for some nitpicking going on here.

Peace everyone!

T7, if I am misunderstanding your post, I apologize.

Baiting is legal in Michigan except in the 4 counties where Tuberculosis has been found. The volume cannot exceed 2 gallons at any one site and has to be spread out over a 10' x 10' area (along with a few other reg.'s), but legal.

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.

I'm in the heart of the worst county affected. Even was requested by DNR to take all harvested deer to the DNR Post on Highway 33 by Mio, Michigan for Bovine TB testing, prior to the trip to the butcher.
