I was just informed by a reliable source at WDFW that this will be the last year we are allowed to bait deer.

Would not be a huge surprise.

Not that I rely on baiting but having the option is nice. If this is actually true then it could be the nail in the coffin as far as this state getting another penny out of me. I will gladly take my business elsewhere.

I've heard the same
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

It wouldn't be a bad thing.  People would have to actually hunt again vs. sitting on a bait pile waiting until they get hungry.

The sad part of this one is that it was hunters vs. hunters. At least when bear baiting was banned we could blame it on anti-hunters.

Way to support your fellow hunters and the methods they choose. Didn't you agree and give a big thumbs up in "change to spring bear bunting" thread? No different really. Spring bear has a pretty good success rate without allowing baiting.

 :yeah: but don't let it get to you because we all know that real hunting is whatever he defines it as.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

No surprise. So no baiting deer and due to I-594, no hunting allowed by people under 18.  :bash:

Yep, just about time to quit hunting this state altogether.

Are they also going to ban hunting over food plots? Or just baiting?

LOL, you guys make it sound like hunting will never be the same without baiting if WDFW chooses to make some changes. I never heard of anybody baiting deer or elk 20 years ago. :dunno:

Also, you're telling me I can't choose to have any say on an issue and I should just make a decision based on how certain others feel? Get real. Yay or nay on supporting baiting,  there needs to be some modifications regardless, IN MY OPINION.

My beef with the restriction isn't the actual baiting, its that they just keep taking away options and methods of hunting while I continue to pay more and more in license, tags, fees etc each year. Strictly principle for me.
