can you clear this up for me? Baiting????

[backwoods_boy]

ok i have heard a million stories about baiting and coulnt find anything about it in the REGS....so my question is.
when i go on my elk hunt can i take a few salt licks and put em out?
and sit and wait :-)?

[Thenewguy]

Quick answer is no

[wastickslinger]

I say yes for elk and deer

[Gobble]

Yes you can, My uncle is a gammie and confirmed it. Just not for bear and cougars

[Machias]

Quick answer would be wrong!   Baiting for deer and elk is perfectly legal, your good to go with the mineral blocks.

[backwoods_boy]

Good to know...
i will be hittin up the feed store before i head out to scout this weekend.
thanks

I searched the hunting regs and RCW's no law that prohibits it, except for baiting bears is illegal.  You know others will say it is unethical.

I bought a gallon of that C'mere Deer product last week, I'll give that a try; my friends also tells me to try peanut butter and they say they get a good response.

Saltine crackers work well too.

If you took the WDFW survey you would know that it is legal to bait deer and elk. They asked for input on making it illegal so if your morals alow you to do it, do it NOW before they make it illegal

[bow4elk]

shooting an elk over salt?  Really...  Um...Why?  Just get our there and hunt!!!  Make something happen with hunting skills, you'll be glad you did.

I need to go climb a mountain, this sort of thing really frustrates me. LOL

[backwoods_boy]

i was just asking 

[Opportunist]

Backwoods-boy, Your wearin' me out man.   Relax.

Your going to be shot mentally before your hunt begins.

[kirkl]

Man thats the same thing i was thinkin. Just do your scouting and find a big bull and shoot him and your good. Probably see you on the mountain as i have the same tag.

[jackelope]

kirkl...make sure you don't trip over a salt block while you're out there.
