I hunted in the U. P. for years and never used bait. I'd go up a few days before season do some scouting and build a brush blind. I always got a deer and back then a buck was a buck but I did get one of my best bucks that way a nice 10 point. IMHO baiting has ruined deer hunting for an entire generation. A good friend from Negaunee shot two nice bucks up by Amasa this year.
