"I would rather see workable rules created by those who know baiting than rules created by people who may not fully understand baiting.

An assumption is that the Commission does not like the "No Change" option."

What's there to understand about baiting, you throw out a bunch of bait to lure them in and then you crush there _______ head. Lots of skill in that.

What are you baiters going to do when they finally ban baiting, hang it up or learn what real hunting is all about.

You should be happy. If baiting is banned, only you and the other real hunters will have the woods to yourself.

I guess I'm curious exactly what we are trying to solve?  Are there specific issues that need addressing or is this an attempt to create a rule in hopes that somebody else won't beat you to the punch?

From reading the entire thread, the intent is to be proactive and develope palatable rules if the Commission insists on some baiting restrictions. There were no specific issues being addressed.

From what I've read....
The main complaint is from groups of hunters that hunt muleys in a certain region of the state during a late season.  They are becoming increasingly irritated about guys on private land dumping truckloads of apples for deer.  Makes the deer bypass a lot of the public land as they move down into the private and are then shot by guide outfits over the apples.

  well stated sundance.

am I correct in assuming that GMU 204 and 101 are the major cause for this discussion?

i think it is only the okanogan muley hunts late in the year... at least that was really the focus at the commission meeting saturday.

Then that would also add GMU's  215 and 233.

Ha! Spoken in true ignorance. Never shot an animal over bait, had the opportunity but never capitalized. In no way does baiting ensure harvesting trophy class animals. A better proven method would be to use a spotting scope, I'd wager more mature mule deer meet their demise from a 60X scope rather then a pile of apples.

So if there's a better method, why are you sitting on a pile of stinking apples? I'm really hoping they ban baiting so I can hear you whiners for the next decade or two.

Why are you even concerned with something you obviously know nothing about?

If that's the case, none of the suggestions will help since said pile of apples could still be placed.  I would be reluctant to add restrictions because a small group of people during one season are displeased with how others are hunting.

[grundy53]

I'm definitely against restrictions.
