Summary

In November 2019, a Beaver Island forum post urged hunters to contact Michigan senators in support of House Bill 4687, which the poster said would allow deer baiting and had passed the House.

Evidence limits

The forum establishes a local advocacy effort and a reported legislative stage; it does not establish Senate action, enactment, or the law in force.

Sources

  1. The post said House Bill 4687 had passed the Michigan House and urged readers to contact state senators in support of allowing baiting; it linked to legislative resources and said the author had received a positive reply from Senator Wayne Schmidt. This documents local advocacy and the author’s account, not Senate passage, enactment, or the bill’s final status.
