How long is a site "baited"?

Bear Sausage and Apples
Serves 2 generously

Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
4 fully-cooked bear sausages, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1-2 medium-sized tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
1 cup apple cider or apple juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
salt
pepper

Directions
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add bear sausages and cook until they are beginning to brown, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add onion and apple to the bear sausages and cook until the onion and apple are tender and brown, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Add apple cider and chopped thyme. Increase heat to high, and stir until liquid is slightly reduced, for about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer onion and apple and bear sausage to plates, dividing equally. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the cider mixture in the skillet. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle the sauce over the bear sausages, and serve with mashed potatoes.

what kind of dogs do you have? If you don't have hounds, I think that is going to be compelling. I mean for the most part, I think hunting a bear with a dog or two that is not a hound, would actually be an impediment.

while you are hunting, you and your wife should take photos that will be timestamped so you can prove that you are in different locations at different times. I'd also recommend not hiking out together...

I’ll translate for this post:
Can’t hunt with hounds, but dogs are okay. Per RCW 77.15.245 you cannot bait or use hounds. Not all dogs are hounds, but all hounds are dogs.

You will likely have greater success if you split up your group to hunt, take some photos and leave the bait at home.

This is all in the wrong thread anyways, but let's not spread bad info here. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say, the RCW clearly says dogs not hounds

I'm so confused, I think we got side tracked with the Dog thread right next to this one.

Anyway, all good thoughts. I agree to err on the side of caution, and if there's any chance that bear is influenced by the current or cleaned up bait, then it's off-limits.

I tried to help by posting a recipe but nobody appreciated it

[Nate Ortloff]

I appreciated it! Made me laugh.

I wouldn’t make it so hard. I’d clean up all the fruit and rake it and it’s no longer baited.

No attractant,no longer baited.

Scent is a bait. If there was bait, then there still is bait.

Try explaining to the game warden that the bear came into the spot that’s all dug out from deer for no reason. Your best legal bet is to remove the bait and move the stand to an area there there a bear trail you can sit on.
