For what it's worth, the MN DNR busted a guy for baiting deer last year by intercepting his cell camera photos.
I've heard they are using drones as well. Nice to see MN is OK with invading one's privacy Wonder if they had warrants to intercept his cell camera photos? Oh and while they are flying those noisy drones around spooking the deer for what you might be doing, is that considered hunter harassment? I would sure think so ESPECIALLY if I have done nothing wrong

the DNR argument is baiting concentrates deer eating from a single spot
an orchard an apple from from trees all over and they slowly clean them up a little at a time
uncut hay they eat from a little here a little there all over the field and not 7 deer with heads down to one bail broken open
if you have a feeder you have deer in the same 10 foot circle every day
if you have a field of corn that was harvested and some edge rows got missed they are spread out.
the DNR actually had planted corn on public hunting in places that they do not harvest , it is just left
another that had gourds and pumpkins and melon's the last few years That has always made sense to me and is why they say baiting is illegal here. The problem here is baiting is not illegal, hunting over bait is. So back yarders are free to feed deer etc in close quarters, possibly spreading disease. They just need to be 200 yards away from it if they are hunting. If its to prevent disease, like they say, it should be illegal to bait period.

Planting things is not illegal in Minnesota, but placing food is. I suspect Wisconsin is the same way.

I've heard they are using drones as well. Good!.

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

"Possibly spreading disease" is the propaganda they push. Wild deer sniff each other and touch noses all the time. They feed in the same areas and congregate especially in winter in cold and high snow areas. Baiting bans are b.s.

They give out 6 tags here because they want them killed. Then say no baiting because of no real good reason.
Where's Waldo?

I said that was what the DNR used as their argument , not that I agreed with it.
if baiting concentrates disease then baiting should be illegal across the board not just for hunters.
but you run into the issue of how to enforce and it is a lot easier to enforce on a group of people participating in a Licensed activity.
you could make a better argument that baiting to shoot deer is about reducing disease through fewer numbers.
everyone in camp has 4 doe tags and a buck tag , 8 of us we could take 40 deer , probably more likely to take 4-6
but the way we hunt it makes little difference
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
