Baiting deer and elk??

[singleshot12]

You do know that ALL baiting will become outlawed within the next five years don't you?. People might have to learn to hunt again

I couldn't help it But I think it is pretty enevitable that a total ban is in the cards

Hunters wanting to ban other people's hunting methods is an idiotic idea. Maybe next they will come after how you like to hunt.

Who says it's other hunters? I think it's a mix of concerned folks

I think it's funny how you people say, "hey guys don't bait because it just gives the antis ammunition..."

I've only ever been trashed for baiting by other hunters. Mostly on this site.

If I talked to anti hunters about killing a deer over bait, they don't say, "over bait? For shame!" They say, "why would you want to kill an innocent animal?"

Anyway, I guess I'll have to learn to hunt again someday. In the meantime, I'd better get back to butchering an elk that was not killed over bait

Baiting for bears was made illegal in Washington by an initiative passed by voters. It  passed by an overwhelming margin.

That's because the overwhelming number of people in Washington are not hunters.  Not saying they are anti hunters, they just aren't hunters.  We don't want to piss them off because they can outvote us on anything.

It probably would've passed by nearly the same if it was limits of 10 gallons of bait or total ban on bear hunting.

Seriously....this topic comes up at LEAST 4-5 times every year. Does anybody ever consider using the search function?

Maybe I should start another thread asking the same thing on this topic so it at LEAST comes up 5-6 times this year, knowing now that it bothers you..   

It doesn't really bother me....It just amazes me how many times the topic gets discussed. BTW- Are mechanical broad heads legal in Washington?

Could you imagine a topic discussing baiting, hunting out of treestands using mechanical broadheads and lighted nocks all at the same time?

Wait we can hunt out of treestands? Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm thinking about starting a small food plot for blacktails. I plan on hunting the archery season. What baits should I use? Can I hunt on the islands?

There are no deer in the islands, nor trees, nor apples.....

Absolutely correct but how many of those votes were cast by people who don't ever think about hunting or baiting when they aren't reading some non descript initiative trash? Just because people vote a certain way on an issue doesn't make them an activist was my point.

Hound hunters hate baiters, still-hunters hate houndsmen, and stand hunters hate still hunters that walk through their setup

I think most of the non hunting public doesn't care too much about guns and hunting until some billionaire stirs them up with propaganda.

Is this how all newcomers are responded to here? Lord just delete it no need for all this. I been reading here a lot and I don't think there is a single topic that hasn't been repeated a thousand times.
