This picture shows what can happen when baiting is allowed. Some hunters will take it to the extremes, and the state of Michigan had to clamp down, and ban all baiting! I hate to admit it but this is my brother Brad, and apparently the deer had grown quite used to his apple pile. You would think just the “pants” alone would scare the daylights out of any self respecting deer, but the lure of a tasty apple evidently trumps fashion!
We’ve often wondered how Brad shot those two bucks he’s got, and now we know. Those trail-cams can do more than take pictures of deer. They can also catch those feeding techniques you don’t want anyone to know about. I guess every family has their “bad apple” don’t they Brad? My only hope is that this picture was taken in the U.P.
Actually it was taken at Presque Isle park in Marquette Michigan. The deer are wild, but due to people feeding them they have become accustomed to the handouts. The deer have been trapped and relocated several times, but usually within a few months are back in the park again.
Sorry Brad I didn’t mean to spill the apples; I mean beans!

That is an amazing shot! It is amazing how the same people who feed these deer, then wonder why the deer are always around their house or breaking through their sliding glass door. That is still one amazing picture though.
