In case you have not heard the new today, we posted an alert sent to us by Mary Dettloff a public information officer of the DNR. The full note and discussion can be found at http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=248252
In a nutshell, due to the discovery of CWD in a deer, a baiting ban was automatically placed into effect immediately for the entire LP. Please feel free to come in and join in the discussion on how this whole issue will affect the future of deer hunting in MI. While we don’t like to send out these alerts too often we felt it was needed in this case as these regulation changes may not make it into the hunting guide for this year.
CWD has changed the face of deer hunting in Wisconsin where it has previously been discovered and eradication efforts have been under way for some time, see:
