This is a raging debate here in Michigan, too.
In our state this is being pushed by those who consider themselves 'purists'.... and as usual, its the classic 'my way or the highway' mentality. Funny thing is, most of these so-called purists are actually hypocrites: They consider it unsporting to bait, and yet they think nothing of hunting over an agricultural field, waterhole, or other natural food source. And no matter how it gets sugar coated, the animals are coming in to a food/water source.
But whatever..... this debate will rage on forever. Suffice it to say that every day we all lose more and more of our personal freedoms. Is it the end of the world if we can't bait anymore? No. On the other hand, whatever happened to tolerance for our fellow man?
It pisses me off that we as a society are being forced to accept the same-sex marriages..... and yet amongst the hunting fraternity we can't respect that we all enjoy hunting different ways.
I've seen hound hunting, trapping, and predator hunting all outlawed. Dammit.... we need to stick together as hunters, or divided we surely will fall.

Bcat, in WY there having alot of problems right now with people salting the elk and deer along the borders of Yellowstone Park. Its probably being brought up because of it, just my geuss. Salting as in using salt blocks or mineral licks to draw in animals off the park, which probably is classified as baiting

I heard it at work today on the radio and since i work in the back country i only got part of it.(i had the Misses post it) It did all i caught was it was a ban for banning Bait for Big game ...I also got a part that mentioned Salting Elk along the border of yellowstone and also feeders used for whitetail on the east side of the state....But that is all I caught
I will call F&G in the morn to see what it is all about

Unless I'm mistaken ( can't imagine that!) it's already illegal to bait big game. I'm sure that salt or corn, etc. is illegal.
