They take the head for sampling, at least that’s what they do in Michigan in their surveillance areas.
I'm still not sure if it's the complete counties or a certain area where the 3 counties overlap
Either way, the plan is simple. Kill them all. Just need to bus some Amish in. You wont be able to find a chipmunk after they are done.
Nice of y’all too take it on the chin for the rest of us….
It's banned. I have a couple buddies at work that hunt Wyandotte that quit baiting. They said all the neighbors still do and basically all the deer abandoned their section
There is going to be some big bucks killed in their summer feeding pattern/bachelor groups this year. I don't think these new proposals will change much, as majority of Wyandotte is private and hunters on these properties will continue with business as usual. Unless the state comes in and really puts on the pressure.
The same economics that led to the herd reduction tactics, have been inverted, but the same pockets are being fleeced. As deer populations decline, hunters buy enough corn to feed a South American country in their effort to fill their freezers. Baiting is its own industry now and on the whole, gross "deer corn" sales must certainly offset crop damage at this point. The other side of the coin is hunter efficiency. Ban baiting and deer #s will go up without a counteracting change to the # of opportunities we get with a gun.
