Do you guys think the entire UP will have a bait ban in the 2019 season. I saw a fair amount of deer this season in northern Luce county but I was hunting over bait. What do you guys think?

I don’t believe either one is railing about having deer management being fair/equal in each zone or that banning baiting in a disease ridden peninsula is a bad idea. I know for a fact that both try to do their part in reducing the deer population to less than carrying capacity to help reduce the chances of disease.

Some on here may not be aware that ths UP has a separate CWD plan which actually does not call for an end to baiting/feeding in the entire region should the disease be found. At the meeting I went to last fall the plan was referenced multiple times. They are following the plan so far. They deviated from the an in the LP.

I agree with you about them being stewards of the land and resource. That wasn't the argument..
Ask them if they want wolves running around their cwdless farms...Go ahead ask them...Lol..

Ain't enough wolves in the U.P. to transfer any South yet.
They still need to relocate more to the East side of the U.P. where deer numbers are getting too high again...... (New separate C.W.D. plan , thus baiting still allowed to concentrate deer conveniently for wolves on public lands pre-reintroduction).
Don't want private plot owners shooting them all before they get established.

I’m a SLP resident and also a UP property tax payer I think that most here know the effects of too many wolves are having on the wildlife population in the U P. I think it s unfair to blame lower pennisula sportsman for the problems with wolves in the U P. As someone pointed out. It’s the courts who are responsible for the state not being able to control the population. However I do agree that if some of these bleeding heart wolf lovers down here had one of their pets killed by a wolf that they would have a different opinion Just my two cents

I believe Wildthing touched on this earlier. Still doesn't make sense. Either baiting is a problem or it isn't. I don't see a grey area. Then again, the way deer yard up in the UP, does it matter? Though you can pretty much say that about a deer's daily life habits anywhere in their range. Baiting is a drop in the bucket.

No. There are worse animals than wolves in zone three. Just watch the nightly news.

I'm certainly not a fan of wolves, but taking them from the u.p. and shipping them into zone 3 just seems to cruel and unusual to the wolf. Let them be hunted, or at least get the state to not enforce wolf protection laws. This do not enforce strategy has been brought up in Wisconsin
