What is the difference between “baiting” deer and “feeding” deer?
“Baiting” is putting out food materials for deer to attract, lure or entice them as an aid in hunting or taking them. A person baiting deer must comply with the baiting regulations. If you put food materials out that attract deer for any other reason, you must be feeding for recreational viewing purposes and must follow the regulations listed above for recreational viewing. Except for specific supplemental deer feeding in portions of the Upper Peninsula, all other feeding of deer is unlawful.
