Hunters are prohibited from using bait for deer hunting in Alcona, Alpena, Crawford, Montmorency, Oscoda, Otsego and Presque Isle counties.

The use of bait is permitted in the remainder of the state, but the volume of bait is limited to two gallons at any one time per hunting location. This restriction applies statewide. Baiting may occur only from October 1 through January 1.
