LOL-you were one of the first ones I thought of when I read the new regs. Sounds like they may come knocking at your door.

[buckcanyonlodge]

Yeah, you are going to have to move your feeder too....  If  you squeal on me and I squeal on you do we both get 10 points?..... I just feed turkey anyway. I have a wildlife camera so I can get pics of the toms and other critters..

I won't squeal.  Local bear took umbrage on my feeder and tore it up. So guess I won't be replacing.

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.

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

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.   

Most synthetics are free of those listed and not an issue.

Buck fever synthetics say, "no animal urine, feces or secretions."

Also hunting around scrapes and learning how deer in your area use them along with the terrain is only going to make you a better hunter IMO.

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.

So an individual turning in a poacher is scum? LMAO...  If you're baiting, you're poaching, no different than any other non-baiting states. Poaching is poaching and it's a sure bonus 10pts for someone lol. Do I think the decision was an overreach on the states part,  yes.

yeah, in my opinion, if some snowflake, mask wearing, covid shot getting, falling in line pu$$y, calls someone in for putting a few flakes of alfalfa out is scum. Just my opinion.  I hate poachers as much as most people, can’t stand them, but when commie, antis start passing stupid laws, I’ll just decide to mind my own business when I see some alfalfa on the ground.

LOL, it's POACHING no matter how you look at it. Hopefully someone don't earn 10 points off you.  What you fail to realize is that guys in this forum actually voted against baiting, not just antis...

[Feathernfurr]

So under that logic, is every red state that doesn’t allow baiting actually - bunch of commie antis? I suppose if you’ve only ever hunted Washington your whole life then this is devastating. For guys that learned how to actually hunt in states with bait bans this is a non issue.

[trophyhunt]

Baiting isn’t an issue for me when it comes to hunting at all, I’ve killed several bulls in the wild without bait.  I’m only saying some people will fall for anything, some people push back against BS.  In this state, banning bait is bs. 

[zwickeyman]

Im not putting anything in any ones mouth. Bottom line is whether you use bait or not, or agree with baiting or not. Its complete BS that Washington just pulled one more thing away from hunters.

Basically how whitetail hunters hunt back East.

[erronulvin]

I mainly run bait for river bottom mulies to see what bucks are in the area, most of the time they rub velvet and chose a new location, prior to thus bait ban my family and I bought property up out of springdale and was planning on getting a food plot made for future use. So my question is does this bait ban make it so we can't make food plots deer and turkeys?

[HereDuckyDucky]

Just make sure to shoot every single one of those deer and elk that are stealing my bird feed…
