Description
In the City of Saline lot between Dr Singleton's office and Cascade Point, someone is dumping feed to attract deer, which is in violation of the Michigan DNR law. Starting on January 1, 2019, any baiting will be illegal statewide.
The law is intended to limit the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease of the Michigan deer herd. There is a limit of 2 gallons of any type of bait - corn, seed, apples, etc. - and it MUST BE spread out over a 10' x 10' area. This is to keep deer from feeding in close contact face to face and to help prevent the spread of this disease. Numerous deer can be seen in the small bare spot there at various times of the day (and night I would assume).
Here's a photo of the feed that is dumped in piles and violates Michigan law as to how the feed is to be spread out. Just wondering who would actually pay the fine if the DNR came across this baiting site?

Bait means a substance composed of “grains, minerals, salt, fruits, vegetables, hay, or other food materials, which may lure, entice, or attract deer as an aid in hunting.”
Pretty sure no one is hunting between all those houses therefore they are not

Copied from the report:
Since the finding of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a free-ranging white-tailed deer in
Michigan on May 20, 2015, CWD-positive deer have been found in Clinton, Ingham, Ionia,
Kent, and Montcalm counties. As of mid-January 2018, after testing approximately 30,600 freeranging
deer, 57 were positively confirmed with CWD, with 48 occurring during the 2017 deer
hunting season
