Alfalfa

Their stomach is a furnace and if you stock it with the wrong fuel it will get too hot and they will die. You can give them a small amount at a time to build up tolerance but if you just dump alfalfa bales that they can gorge on they can die, can die, doesn't mean they will. :dunno:

Why do some of you post irrelevant comments? I didn't mention baiting them this time of year and had you read comments you'd see it was already mentioned. Not being a weenie just think it's strange that simple questions get a lot a rambling off subject

This is what I meant, to clarify my last post.
Introducing it to them out of nowhere is no good.

Your last post had nothing to do with the question though lol. My question was in regards to BAITING not supplemental feeding as mentioned in my OP

Umm. It’s a hunting forum. It’s completely normal and should be expected that threads only stay on topic for the first couple posts. Beyond that it becomes a discussion that sometimes sort of stays on topic(this scenario) for 100-200 more posts if it’s a good one.

If that bait ban statewide goes through.
I'll probably just spend the money on reloading stuff instead of attractant. Do a lot more shooting,and target practice.
Which I need to do anyway.
Bait spots that may have salt still there,I just won't put anymore down after it goes into effect. Hopefully most will be gone,by the time the snow melts .
I'll continue to run a few cameras,not as much though.
Focus on game trail,saddles, funnel areas that animals use.
Probably focus more on bear hunting,when I'd normally be working my cameras early fall.
Just move forward that way.

I have a mobile set up (light weight stand/climbing sticks) as well as a few fixed stands that I put up. I spend 100+ hours easily a year e-scouting Id, OR, and Wa so have that all worked out.
I've written letters to WDFW and am a non-resident in regards to the proposals, hopefully the resident hunters are filling their desks with letters and emails. I know non-hunters are doing so.
