WDFW proposing to Ban Baiting

(1/19) > >>

idahohuntr:
WDFW appears to be quietly slipping in a deer/elk baiting ban...by recommending it via the CWD Management Plan (pg. 36). 

I'd suggest submitting comments by the Jul 28 deadline if you are inclined: https://wdfw.wa.gov/licenses/environmental/sepa/open-comments

A couple points I've thought of:
1. Baiting is regulated to 10 gallons, a small quantity which is very unlikely to concentrate animals to any degree
2. There is no scientific evidence of small bait quantities leading to the spread of CWD
3. CWD is not even in the state (or neighboring state ID)...so a preemptive ban is ridiculous.
4. Banning baiting is racist, sexist, and discriminatory against disabled hunters.

huntnnw:
Deer lick, rub on overhanging branches all over the woods. Some trees almost every deer in the area with mark that same branch

buckfvr:
WDFW caving in to anti hunt/anti kill pressure.  The cwd thing is how they will justify it because so few people actually know anything about it.

If you think success rates are low now, just wait and see what happens when all the guys who cant scout also cant dump food on the ground.

Ill add its been in the works for several years and theyve already got their minds made up on this.

See that page 42 of the draft plan.
WDFW ready for the loss of revenue that may be caused from there rule change.
Sounds like no more deer urine too.

NE Washington the wolves will save us all ,they only kill the sick ones right. What a joke.

First you decrease hunters by taking the bait option away.
Then CWD hits even more hunters drop out of the game.
Then what no revenue to deal with the problem.

Sounds like them elk feeding station gone.
Them elk herds will be gone by damage permits in no time.
