Reporting bear baiting

[KFhunter]

Well I fully agree there is too dang many bears and far to restrictive hunting means.

The spring draw is a joke - need to OTC spring tags for starters.


Also need to start the NE season earlier,  irritates me they start it after the berries are dried and gone.  Then in October everyone wants to sit under an apple tree.

  and have the same area open in the spring as during the general season.

Yes. Anything and everything that is scent based whether it be natural or man made. No whiks, sprays, blocks, incense, nothing.

Unless it's a beehive. I had the head of the Mill Creek WDFW division tell me that shooting a bear over a beehive is not considered baiting, so long as all seasons and time restrictions are obeyed. She said it's "the only legal" way to "bait" bears. I think I'd get it writing first though......

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.

id never admit to knowing a game warden, let alone multiple

[mountainman]

Any success stories on anyone's bait sites yet??

Would you report someone for not wearing seatbelt? not exactly the same but similar. I (probably most of us) think both laws are stupid. so look the other way and if they get caught then its their problem. if we all agree there is too many predators, why go out of our way too get someone in trouble for getting rid of one or two. I know, because its the law. So do you call cops everytime you see someone on cell phone or not wearing seatbelt?

Apples to oranges..

Apples to oranges..

Why?

Apples to oranges..

Why?

You do not see the difference? Your examples are traffic infractions that will get you a simple fine to pay. The other is a criminal offense and can get the the offender a criminal record. These are the apples and oranges you are confusing.

This whole thing cracks me up!

AND an unfair advantage to those hunters staying within the law. Seen too much abuse even when hounds and bait were legal. Poachers will be poachers, no matter how strict or how lenient our game laws are I guess..

We should just let karma take care of what we know others are doing that doesn't impact us personally. I know everyone ,and that includes me, that has done things that they know wasn't exactly in the letter of the law. I regret my actions of my youth in these matters but through maturing and reading of our hunting hero's of past years, such as  T.R. who slaughtered all manner of game without any limits or game laws, that I became a totally law abiding sportsman.I know that in other states many of our banned methods of hunting here are allowed but I will not break those laws because it IS OUR LAW'S. and that is the contract that I signed when I paid for that hunting license. Our country has many laws that we  find incomprehensible but if I were to go down the path of lawlessness it will have to be over some law that restricts a more basic human right than the right of how we lure an animal to be taken for sport or food.http://hunting-washington.com/smf/Smileys/default/twocents.gif
