That would piss off the Yoopers to the point of civil disobedience..........
From the glorious QDMA El Jefe'
Date:18 September 2019 To:Government Operations Committee From:Kip Adams, Director of Conservation Re:House Bill 4687
On behalf of the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) I am writing to oppose House Bill 4687which would legalize baiting for white-tailed deer. The QDMA is a national nonprofit wildlife conservation organization dedicated to ensuring the future of white-tailed deer, wildlife habitat and our hunting heritage. The QDMA has over 60,000 members nationwide and our membership includes hunters, landowners and natural resource professionals. The QDMA defines baiting as the placement of food to concentrate wildlife (deer) for the purposes of hunting, trapping,or viewing.The QDMA opposes the expansion of baiting where not currently legal, and/or where chronic wasting disease (CWD)or other known diseases are present. For these reasons we urge you to oppose House Bill 4687,and thank you for your commitment to Michigan’s natural resources.
Respectfully,Kip Adams Director of Conservation

If I had the desire I could refute all of your anti baiting list but it's not worth the time or effort and would not change any minds
Bait piles are totally foreign to me. Know nothing about them nor anyone that uses them. So the Term baiting means something totally different than what I am used to
Have a Merry Christmas Jeff!
We all hunt for our own reasons, but deer hunting was popular enough when the herd was smaller and before baiting was legal. So blaming declining hunter numbers on a baiting ban is sort of, uhhhhh.....
Failing to come up with a polite expression that conveys the strength of my disagreement.
