Deer Baiting?
« on: October 23, 2012, 04:28:29 PM »
Okay, An Avid Hunter here and no where in Washington State did I think it was Legal to Bait Deer and Elk...?? I just did a Complete read through of the Regs. and no where did I see either way it correct or Incorrect. (Except for Bears of course). Can someone please confirm this with me. And show me where they got there info?. What types are Bait or legal? Man I feel like a dummy for not knowing this I NEVER thought that was okay or man I will be throwing Wet Cob all over HA.

You're right. It does not say one way or another. I've looked very hard to find the information myself several times.  In my opinion if it does not say it's illegal then it has to be legal.

This thread has lasted 8 minutes without someone making a comment about not being a real hunter if you bait.  This is a Hunt-Wa record  :chuckle:

Sounds backwards but...If it doesn't say you can't do it in the regs then it is perfectly legul to due.

LOL, there is always one.
