No baiting in Michigan this year.
Legally..........With over 620,000 licensed hunters, it's unrealistic to expect all of them to follow the law..........LOL!

People sell fruit on the side of the road all the time. Heck, here in Florida they sell fishing poles and crafts from the back of trucks.

Could be but usually a cidery wants a specific type of cider apple.

How do you distinguish ripe from non-ripe when it is dark?
He doesn't know what he's talking about and it's obvious he didn't pursue the story other than what was posted...........
The theft occurred over a 4 day period when it was not being monitored and all the apples were ripe enough for harvesting..........

Uncle Ted is HOT! on this one.
Bait encourages prion exchange but, you can construct a “false scrape” to attract them.
Both bait and scrapes encourage saliva exchange; one is illegal the other isn’t.
Were there actually 620,000 (+/-) licenses sold this year? Odds of success have changed and what of private property baiting? Or, will the Sheriff of Nottingham (CO) say, “These are the King’s deer.”?

It’s be a shame if the rival farm’s nice barn went up in smoke

Stick to something you might actually know something about such as palmetto bugs and iguana infestations in Florida...........Sheesh!

I put up deer cams.
Turned out the thieves stripping my fruit trees were little old ladies, with the help of their meth-head offspring.
They were running a jam-cannery down at the senior citizens’ home & selling the products at the church bazaar.
Which was what I had intended to do.
To: TexasGator
That’s why the thieves took both

Back in the 50's and 60's my dad's Uncle Al (I called him Uncle Al too) lived outside a teeny town in northern Michigan called Glennie...........
He was the town drunk and was always involved in fights and his ex-wife and daughter left him and refused any contact with him.
I don't know what he did for a living in that area since there was no industry, maybe odd jobs. But he was a notorious poacher of deer. To his credit tho, those deer were never sold but put food on his table.
I have a mounted set of spike horns that he gave to my dad that have a bullet hole right in the middle of them. Obviously it was shot while Uncle Al was shining one night.............LOL!
My fondest memories of Uncle Al was when my dad and I would stop by his house either on the way to northern Michigan or heading back to Detroit. He would always have something cool waiting for me to see. Either a birds nest in his refrigerator or a live giant snapping turtle stored in an oil barrel waiting for Uncle Al to butcher it.
Uncle Al was found dead in the snow bank next to his mail box with a bottle of liquor in his hand...........

Apples in October? It's not like they're RFID chipped in that neck of the woods. Distribute several bushel baskets or so around the area farmer's markets, and you can dispose of the stolen merch pretty quick this time of year. Nothing beats fresh-picked. On the other hand, maybe the mastermind behind it just has a taste for apple dumplings. I have four trees, and I'm waiting for them to get big enough that they'll produce apples that can be stolen.

We all have aspirations before our expiration.
RIP, Uncle Al. One cool dude.
