State lifts Whitetail deer-baiting ban
Submitted by admin on Sat, 10/01/2011 - 20:27
LANSING (AP) -- The deer baiting ban is no longer for much of Michigan's lower peninsula.
The Department of Natural Resources Commission voted 4 to 3 to lift the baiting ban late Thursday afternoon.
The Commission will revisit the issue in three years. The new rules are in effect this hunting season October 1 to January 1.
Baiting and feeding have been banned in the Lower Peninsula since August 2008, when a deer with chronic wasting disease was found at a captive breeding farm in Kent County.
