Not good news[:@]

If they ban baiting there will be most likely be alot more violators in the U.P,
and most likely quite a few less license's sold. Baiting deer is big
in the u.p.

Our deer heard up here will really dwindle down, with the harsh winters they need the extra
food people put out to survive the deep snow during the winters.

It sure will change the deer movements and its fine by me. maybe with a ban on baiting all the bucks wont go
nocturnal.

Well, banning baiting is not a bad thing. The problem is any time you make a big change to a rule it will upset many people, especially those that are affected by that rule. In the long run I believe it will make the herd less "tame"

Germ , What is it route 76 that goes from Toledo to Saginaw? Every exit has caged bucks with B.C. scores and prices listed accordingly.

And every "Stop & Rob" has bags of deer corn and sugar beets for 250 miles. What a Joke It really is.[:@]

Hopefully the Mi DNR does not freak out like the Wi one did when it first hit.

Interstate 75:D

Baiting done correctly is not harmful at all, we just ruined it in MI.

1.Because we're lazy
2.We think a lot of bait is a good thing.

If we would have had 1 5 gallon bucket rule and followed it, we would be fine. Like some have stated, I have seen beet piles that could feed Africa:eek:

if they ban baiting i should only be in the LP from the way i understand the order. does anyoneknow if the order came down yet, i know in the conservationorders it says they will if it was found but i havent seen the official word on the dnr webpage yet. I would love to be a fly on the wall when some ofthese guys buy their license and are told they cant bait this year.I bet that sugar beetfarmers will have something to say about the ban too. They cant be to happy, in some areas the deer might not know what to do either ...lol

What do you mean lower MI of course screwing the U.P.?

There's an educated comment

Huntingson, The difference is the number of hunters and the size of Michigans state lands. Every tree has a bait pile behind it. I am sick and tried of hearing about the poor farmer not going to make any money so we can't end baiting!! Grow a crop you can sell then like corn you can ship out!!!! Farmers were suriving long before baiting ever started. If you wouldtake a random 15 hunters just pick them I would bet you 10 of them wouldn't know a scrape from a rub what a deer run looks like and hunt a swamp or a pinch point what do you mean, I just poor out some corn and beets and apples and carrots and cameere deer andwheat and a minerale lick and deer cocaine and salt block and the deer just show up I can hunt any where because where ever I poor all this out I see deer!!!! That is Michigans attitude and 3/4 of the hunters if you want to call them hunters think!! Ok deep breath enough bitching nobody listens any ways!!!! Walt

Hell I grouse hunt in the UP and I thought sugar beets grew wild in the woods up there.;)
