Two shiny new Hoyts in camp....gotta get blood on at least one of them!

i love a good dwarf joke! Good luck D, your spyder is ready for blood.

I think it's funnier when it's coming from one dwarf to another  I'm not sure whose shorter out of Smossy or D-Rock

[h20hunter]

I think it is about even.

Very even. lol

This weekend i was shed hunting and pre scouting and realized it would be much easier if i was shorter. Game trails can be a pain sometimes.

Much easier to see/ID tracks and scat to

Salt licks who would do that type of thing

They work wonders!

Good luck fellas! Hope u put something down!

I still can't believe people really use salt

[elk247]

  I was discussing that with my hunting crew. Salt, apples ect. It seems backwards to allow baiting of elk and not bear. To be honest I have never even considered it. It makes sense to use it near a trail cam but im shocked its legal to hunt over.

What is your reasoning?

I'm just shocked that in this liberal state where you can't hunt over bait for many animals that baiting elk is allowed. No reasoning, just an observation. With a treestand and a pile of apples i have no doubt that it's very effective. My point being... not to disallow baiting for elk but rather to use same logic to reintroduce baiting for bear.

[D-Rock425]

Baiting bears will never happen here in Washington again.

[elk247]

I'm not sure about that. I think you might be right, but deep down I think there is a chance. Logically, baiting is a effictive form of predator management. You can see how much the population has exploded over here since baiting/hound hunting was banned. D-rock about 20 miles north of you there are bear traps in the median of I-5. All it would take is a little common sense from the general population...ya, your right. It will never happen.

Did some pseudo scouting myself last Sunday North of where you were at. Beautiful Country. Lots of sign. Came in from the Blewett Pass side. Wife was freaking out so it kind of limited my scouting.
