Is bear baiting the worst kept secret?

I'd just hate to get busted doing something like that. Possibility of losing privileges in this state AND others? No thanks. I'll keep calling.

Just about everyone that puts out bait piles for deer and elk always end up with bears on there trail camera pics.  Along with cougars at some point.  I am sure plenty of bears are shot in those locations.  We have seen this posted inadvertently many times on HW with new guys.  It should be legal, but due to the anti crowd they had it banned.  They need to make laws that protect various means of hunting as down the road if it makes it to vote you could see them making it unethical to kill or harm any animals in this state.

I have not read, through the entire responses, but this reminds me of the "Do you beat, your wife?" poll........
