 I want a law that says every hunter must mind his own business and quit hen-pecking their fellow outdoorsmen.

I figured since the topic was posted to gather support to maintain baiting for deer and elk and thosewho do not support baiting not to respond. Well that is aarrogance at its finest. If anything I think washington would be better to go to no baiting like missouri does. If it grows it IS NOT BAITING. If you place it on the ground it is baiting. Just my thoughts but, if you just have to dump a bunch of hay or apples on the ground you might as well do a canned hunt.

I'd like to start a campaign to create a new law restricting rifle hunting to shots no more than 300 yards. Anything more than that is not hunting. It's just shooting and there's no skill involved in that.

Besides being able to cut and paste, your point being what?

You just made his point again.

 The importance as many see it is in the non scientific way they want to eliminate it, and hence take away a hunting option that some rely on for different reasons, actually not all reasons being lazy............correct baiting is far from a lazy endeavor, not to mention expensive.

No one has to do it, but those that want to can, and it should remain that way until they do a three year scientific study that shows it is having a negative impact on the herds.........and that by the way is wdfw verbatum   on criteria for wolf/deer/elk/moose management.

Ok guys this is becoming a joke!!!!  If you don't like baiting fine you said so but several others including myself have another opinion.  Laws, laws, and more laws.  Before long I'll have to hire a lawyer just to read the regs to keep me out of trouble. What ever happen to common sense and being able to have your own opinion?

I want a law stating that you can only carry 1 rifle round, one muzzleloader charge and one arrow while out hunting.  After all, if you can't get it done in one shot, you do not deserve to be hunting.   
By the way, I HATE the practice of baiting but that does not mean that I want it banned or will trash another hunter for using it, unless they are baiting in a city park or something like that.   

I'm all that since I dont enjoy hunting in a war zone. The topic " wow that just happened" talks about a guy who shot a number of times at a deer. Trust me, one bullet will kill an animal but you actually have to shoot your rifle a few times before going hunting.

If baiting does not increase success, why is it so important?

its just one more peace of hunting they are taking away! Next will be no artificial lures or calls, cause really we dont need them. Then maybe trail cams cause they are an unfair advantage, then ...... Eventually brother we will have no hunting at all. We need to stick together and fight for every single tiny peace we have no matter what! I'm sure if this was a type of hunting you did you would be out raged.  Look what happened with hound hunting, look what's happened to trapping and bear hunting.  We need to stick together, stand up for all hunters and hunters methods.  Next on the list may very well be your hunting method. It wont affect me. But I will stand and your side and fight to save it! Why because I'm a hunter and I dont want to loose any more options weather mine or my brothers and sisters.

I'd enjoy hearing from others with your point of view and I'm not sure you articulated your opinion. In your first post.. "if it grows". Will you spend a minute to clearly articulate your point so there's no confusion?

My opinion is leave baiting alone!!!!!!  We have enough laws.

[Blacktail Sniper]

Already illegal....no need to make a change to address that.

[Hunting7mm]

We could play the WHAT IF game all day!!!!  Lets just all agree to disagree!!!!

[Bigshooter]

Hey bud, that could be a slippery slope.WHAT IF I was poor, can't afford a  hunting license, large caliber rifle and therefore my method is to hunt at night with a .22 rifle to feed my family and because I enjoy hunting?

Hey now you get it.  But some a-hole didn't like hunting at night so he got a law passed that banned it.
