Free: Contests & Raffles.
Thanks everyone for standing up. Just to point out again (I won't go into great detail) "Baiting" is also the use of scents to attract... doe in estrous, scrape scent, elk fire, ect. It's illegal to use scents when hunting bear, don't think they won't go all out on deer/elk.
my position is not a tactful one and I wont back down from it. You may not agree with me or how loud I am shouting this, but there are a lot of people under the illusion that this is a debate. They are asleep. This is an attack and we need their help. Apathy is unlikely. If they go to the anti hunter side of the line then at least I will know who they are.What is more likely, and my inbox of support shows this, there are far more that have thanked me than those who have told me to stop.Your support for hunting is appreciate and Ill have your back in the same way if you ever need it.
I just sent in the letter also
I think if you use a 300RUM you are more pro-shooting rather than hunting... after all... all that is required is walking around and glassing cuts with high powered optics and then shooting them."... That's fine but it's not what I call hunting.
I never thought of it that way! I have never taken an animal with a 300rum, actually. I bought one when it first came out, bought one of the first ones for an Alaska trip. I bow hunt this state!

If I could change one thing in this state, it would be that all "biologist's" must be hunters and have a hunting license. One of the biggest problems is that they don't, most used to back in the day but they don't anymore. One wildlife area that I know of (Federal) in a very popular area had zero biologist's that ever had a hunting license in their life, that is telling.

Yeah I've been successful late season without using either one also. I've also been successful using them. It's legal to do so and I want to keep my options open. I sure hope you've NEVER used scents while hunting or that would make you a hypocrite, right?
