Just got the email to provide comments on the 2016-17 Hunting Regulation proposals. Looks like they are going after bait again for deer/elk hunting with a few different options.

" if the volume of bait exceeds 10 gallons."
Wonder how that applies to a 30 gallon hanging automatic feeder. Is it the amount on the ground, or in the feeder itself?

I would think that it would mean the amount of bait that's actually on the ground.

Looks like they got rid of all the late Teanaway elk bull tags, and reduced many others as well, I don't get it!

I wonder how many bull elk are taken out of Teanaway by tribal members each year? Could that be why they are reducing the number of permits?

Teanaway also has had wolves in there for a while.

There are plenty of bulls in there to at least give a few tags out, it will just ship all those bull guys over to other categories to make it that much harder to draw anything, and yes Jstone, hibernation is over, lol

Im also pretty disappointed that theyre not proposing getting rid of all the excessive antlerless opportunity for whitetails. Maybe even bring the 4pt apr back. Wake up and smell the blue tongue.

Hopefully limiting baiting falls flat on its face.
