Bears are plentiful. Baiting is not lazy. It's hard work and It's a very effective tool for population management. What it is, it's a dumb law passed by morons to take hunting rights away from US! Why should bear baiting be illegal in this state but not others? How come its OK for deer and elk but not bears? Just stupid if you ask me but a law is a law. If you don't stand up for your rights in this country someone would be willing to to take away those rights. For us younger guys the thrill of chasing cats with hounds will could be something we will never experience thanks to people that have a vote but no time or money invested and a complete lack of understanding what conservation and habitat management, and predator management is all about.

To me its the same as putting elk urine on the bottom of your boots or chuming for kokanee. Just becouse its illegal doesn't mean its morally wrong. I personally dont feel the need to bait ( too much work and not worth the risk) but who am I to fault someone else for doing it. As long as there is not garbage spread all over....... I didnt see anything

Boy of I didn't know better I'd say it sounds like a few Guys on This thread may have piles out in the woods. Turn them in, get your points. Just because you don't agree with law doesn't make the practice of breaking it anymore legal.hell by your own post these guys screwed up your bear spot. Is that fair to you ? I know a couple wardens that are very interested in busting bait sites.
agree  :yeah:

I agree as well. There are lots of laws I dont like or agree with. But I still follow them,often with a frown lol but the law is the law.  im am not willing to risk my hunting rights, no trophy is worth that!

Did you check for trail cams. Cause i am sure they have them up over that bait and when they see pics of you it wont be there very much longer.

I dont like the idea of Americans snitching on Americans for harmless trivial offense, especially if its soething they wish thry could do.. A dead bear is a dead bear.  All the complaints about predators and bringing back hounds an baiting, and you guys still would call it in amazes me. Bet you guys feel like real Hank Hills .

I report it as well.   Baiting is work and took time and effort to set up.  Doubt they were just looking for their two bears to tag,  more than likely going to kill every bear that came to the bait.   Gall bladders still sell too,  I view it the same as others,  the baiting law probably won't be the only law they will be breaking.

It is a stretch to believe that guys willing to pack in a bait station are not also motivated enough to break a second law by shooting over their limit of bear?

So you think they are breaking the law simply because they disagree with it?   That would be the stretch in my opinion.   I lean more towards a person willing to set up a chained barrel bait being the same type of person that's going to violate a few other game and fish laws as well.

And go three miles over the speed limit and not use their turn signal when no one is around.

I do not think baiting should be illegal. Washington has no shortage of black bears. I don't hunt for bears and surely don't bait them. I'm sure there's people that do it and I doubt I would turn them in unless I knew they were shooting more than what they had a tag for. Also, it's funny how the sales of molasses buckets increases dramatically around this time of year.

People who dont live in NE WA have no clue how out of control bears are! when you have 30 cams out on salt and each cam has 7-10 different bears a cam you have an issue!  I have seen over 20 bears this year and Im not even looking for them! Then WDFW gives out 15 tags or so in the units up here for spring bear give me a f^$%#% break! it should be over the counter!!!!! Gov't scam for money. There are serious issues when looking for deer in some units and you see more bears than deer in a week!  :bash: I have cams where I have yet to see a buck in what should be a great deer areas.
