I have always been for a ban on baiting, but not like this!

Are the farmers insured for anything like this?
Nope, we were just talking about it here at work.

OUCH, it has officially hit the fan!

Question though, I want to use the C'mere deer three day harvest this year, is this considered baiting or feeding???

It is consider baiting, now raking a bunch of acorns in a pile is not:D

Interesting do you think all the big nationwide sportsmans stores will stop selling all that stuff, and if so will they stop selling it via the internet? is this ban permanent?

I agree with your plan totally!

I like what Wisconsin is doing also, I believe there on the right track.

Michigan could be a trophy destination, but to many issues in the way. The biggest saying in west michigan where there are way way to many deer, especially the numbers that the local dnr guys are telling us (if it's brown it's down theory) People & DNRaround Kalamazoo and the surrounding area (0-50square miles) there seeing alot more deer this year than ever before. I don't think we had a good kill record last year.

Banning Bait in Michigan would be one step in the right direction. One step of 1,438 that needs to happen if Michigan ever wishes to have a healthy heard of whitetail deer that actually might have the ability to reach maturity.

Doubling the price of tags, decreasing the number of bucks a single hunter can kill in one year to (1), minimum 4 point side to kill a buck, and changing the gun season from it's current dates to a single 5 day season in December would all be a-part of a solution to the current problem.

I don't see any of the above happening anytime soon. Someone in DNR needs to grow a set and stand up to the insurance driven management of the herd. The hunters themselves need to stand up and HAMMER anyone who shoots a small buck over a doe. If guys would only get that a doe eats just as well as a spike, fork horn, button buck, or any immature buck - the solution would be close at hand.

Hammer me if you will - but my plan would work and it would also reduce the number of "killers" in the woods - which is also needed if Michigan ever wishes to have any type of trophy hunting! Just the opinion of a bowhunter who grew up in Michigan and moved to Iowa because Icouldn't take hunting in Michigan a day longer!

Cabelas will not sell non native seed to MI resdients, why not bait;)

I have to say, if anything more wrong can go within this state I wouldn't be surprised, it's such a screwed up time in this state. Alot of misdirection by many intelligent people. I would love to move someday out of michigan, like west virginia, virginia.
