RE: why did michigan ban baiting
 

Not true, they immediately shot 300 deer in the "hot zone" to test for the disease, as far as I know, they found nothing. I dont mind if they ban baiting, but by banning it in the entire lower peninsula, they will put a lot of farmers in bankruptcy. I believe they just ban it in the "hot zone" for this season, and then if need be, they can make a total ban for next year.

To correct some misinformation here. The doe that had CWD was born on the facility where it died. It was not brought in from another state. As of this date, there are no confirmed cases of CWD in wild deer.

The DNR does not have the authority to regulate the selling of agricultural crops.

RE: why did michigan ban baiting
 

okay this is well rounded topic. Im not for nor against baiting. I just wanted to know what the effect of a baiting site had to do with CWD. i do believe there is and time and place to bait.Not going against anyone but some animal the best way to hunt them is bait..I.E. bears. but now i think i do have understanding on why baiting is banned for this year and im glad it is to reduce the threat. So i should see it be re enstated some time next. that would be my guess

Obviously, but they should be watching what people who buy it do with it... I guarentee 99 out of 100 customer that are buying carrots are using it for deer.

An even better question than "why did Michigan ban baiting", is, "why didn't Michigan ban baiting years ago?"....
