Is not it legal to use game birds in traps for bait? Didn't think it was?

If legal it is not, then F the man because if I legally shoot the bird, and do not waste the meat, I should be able to do what I want with the carcass (that is not too disturbing or obscene anyways). As far as I know, you can use them for bait as long as it is not visible to raptors. Unless eagles are starting to dive for food, I think crab bait probably works into that.

And, if the bird has rice breast, wdfw can come eat it if they don't want me using it.
