Guessing there will be a drop in whitatail archers

[kodiak06]

Now that baiting has been banned, I'm guessing some archery guys will be picking up a different weapon. Late season muzzie would seem logical.

Did the commission vote to ban baiting? Haven’t seen or heard nothing?

It was in the news yesterday. CWD transport restrictions by area & bait ban & something else state wide.

Wonder if the scum that turn in bait sites will get points??  I’m not talking a truck load of bait, the simple couple arm loads of alfalfa or wet cob.  Wardens could be chasing bait sites instead of poachers.

When baiting is illegal aren't those that continue to hunt over bait poachers?
I'm guessing this will catch a lot of people by surprise - if I didn't follow HW i wouldn't know anything about this.

People who are impacted by the baiting ban need to look into Troy Pottenger and his methods. Dude kills magnum bucks in NE Washington and N. Idaho with scrape set ups and has talked about it on dozens of podcasts.

I guess I don’t see a guy putting a salt block, alfalfa , or wet cob down as a poacher.  I see stupid laws being passed in this state by left wing f tards, and when I feel it’s an over reach, I don’t just get in line or put on a stupid mask on because “they” said so.

I'm not a bow hunter. I'd imagine the late bow season will be a bit harder . Usually most the deer are pretty spooky after modern .
Only advantage will be the rut.
Early archery I would think is a ,right place ,right time deal .
I've already heard talk about the private land sanctuary,that most guys will be looking hunt.

I don't really know,not a bow hunter.
I'm just taking a stab at it.

Haven't seen the new rules, but what if lures and scents are considered baiting too?  Similar to bear?

What if I require my deer to wear face masks while within 6’ of each other at the feed?

Any natural or synthetic scent that contain or derived from cervid urine or glandular based extracts are banned.  To the hunters that say their pee doesn't bother the deer, spray away.  Maybe the ladies will have better luck.

If you shoot them in the early season you don’t have to get your feet cold. 

I see plenty of monster whitetails without bait.

Are they going to allow disabled hunters to hunt over bait?
