I have not heard of anything yet. I do know that we did not because even with the pass we could not access our best bear spots. I suppose we could have worked other areas and had reasonable chance of success. But with all the loops and route bypasses we just threw in the towel on Winston bear. Going north or east is much better bear hunting anyway! Only bear I've seen in the lower Winston the past few years has been in November driving to elk or deer spots before first light.
Now if I were allowed to have a few bags of M&M's and chocolate chips ACCIDENTLY fall out of the back of my truck and I then set a tree stand over them...that would be a different story.

Unfortunately, the LEOs I know tell me that is against the law

Even if I did not realize they accidently fell out of the back of my truck and rolled down a trail a few hundred yards to where I had a treestand, they still tell me it is illegal. Makes a guy not even be able to enjoy the fruits of a well planned accident. That's not very nice at all!

Been more than 20 years now and I still miss baiting bear. One of these years we will make a trip to Idaho or Ontario. Sort of relive my youth a little bit!! Would be a lot cheaper and a lot more satisfying if I could do it in the Winston though!
