Quote from: zike on March 22, 2015, 01:46:56 PMWhy should the seniors and the disabled be penalized under these rules. You think the disabled can shlep bait 400 yards, maybe some seniors can but not all. Lets level the playing, no bait for the disabled, no bait for anyone.If they cant carry it they can get help. If we are going to look at every extreme might be case in the name a fairness we may all well end all hunting.

Quote from: singleshot12 on March 22, 2015, 01:04:24 PMBaiting bear and running dogs was tradition and the only successful way to manage preditors.That was a major mistake when voted away.Designated areas for baiting deer and elk should be seriously considered alsoThat was my point....but then we should outlaw modern firearms because natives were very successful with traditional weapons. My only point is why restrict a method of hunting because it wasn't used by our elders / past generations. Times change and methods evolve. What works for me may or may not work for you (or others).

I know I'm going to get slammed here but oh well Go ahead.I totally disagree with the no restrictions for the "disabled" and my reason is as followsLook around at the majority of the handicap disabled placards and the lard asses getting out of the cars using these placards.I'm sorry but being a fat A-- and being to dumb to realize you need to loose weigh and to lazy to get off the couch except to go to Walmart and get in their electric shopping cart in no excuse for a handicap placard and sure as hell isn't deserving of special privileges....

No baiting for anyone and the disabled won't get any special privileges.
I sent a message to WDFW and the Commission to ask for their input.QuoteDear WDFW and Commissioners,I am an outfitter in NE Washington and I own a popular hunting forum, Hunting-Washington. I’m aware of some of the complaints about baiting and the areas where the complaints are coming from. I wanted to make the Moses Lake meeting but was too busy. I’m trying to determine some minimal rules which are acceptable to most hunters that will address the major concerns that WDFW and the commission have with baiting. Could some of you please reply back to me with a summation of the major concerns that you feel need resolved. I would like to be able to say on the forum that I received correspondence from at least one commissioner or from WDFW (no name need be mentioned) and this is a list of major concerns. Using that list of concerns I would like to discuss it on the forum to establish some simple rules which are acceptable to most hunters. I look forward to any help you can provide.Please feel free to follow the conversation and comment if you wish: http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,172226.html Best Regards, Dale

Lets level the playing, no bait for the disabled, no bait for anyone.Per Dale's proposed rules, they wouldn't have to schlep it 400 yards unless they wanted to leave it on plain sight...Dale, may I suggest a terminology change on this point to something like "If located within 400 yards of any publicly maintained roadway, a bait station must be not be visible from said roadway."
If you believe this forum isn't already read by commissioners, WDFW employees, legislators and others in positions of authority you would be mistaken.

I have the conversation in my truck not standing in front of the customer. It is a tactical difference of opinion, thats all. We have nothing to hide and SEVERAL people have voiced thier displeasure with ANY potential baiting rule changes. IF the Commission is actually concerned with science or good management then its a non issue... I am disappointed at the under-representation of hunters on the commission so i think being cautious and skeptical is the right course.
Back in the late 90's it was the anti's that got bear baiting outlawed, now it's hunters trying to cut their own throats. You dipshi@ts ought to quit trying to cut off your noses to spite your face. This crap makes me sick. Bad enough we have wolves now and I'm sure more Grizzlies are coming next. Don't need hunters to help regulate ourselves out of options. I could give a rip if you want to bait, shoot a deer with mechanical tips, use lighted nocks, or maybe trap a beaver. I sure the heck ain't gonna make it any harder for you folks that want to do it. Sad day for hunters as far as This is concerned. Right now Anti hunting groups are applauding some of you for doing their dirty work.
