We going to start seeing signs like this at Walmart under the deer corn 😂
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

There are also going to be a lot less successful Mule Deer archers as well. It seems like half of the archers in the Sinlahekin are camped out on bait in a ground blind these days.

There's still deer in the Sinlahekin?   :dunno:  Man, the herds we used to see 55 years ago.   :'(

It's gonna affect a lot of peeps across all weapon tags.

Between the camera thieves including people stealing salt blocks.
Now they can turn you in,collect points.
State bait ban .
Guy like me that finds a lot of bait sites each year.
What can I do,but turn people in. I'm not allowed to bait any more.
Guess it will be a free for all, People trying to bait.
Hunters turning in hunters.
Yet at the end of the day,the state exempts themselves.


No fun.
A joke that nobody is laughing about.

You still run cameras. Find heavy trails, pinch points, transition lines. Might have quite a bit less pics, but find your next hot spot. I’d still keep some on your existing salt sites. No reason not to keep an eye on them

Hoping the two food plots I planted last year take off this year. They are small and more of an experiment but could work perfectly given this change

 I probably won't turn anyone in.
Just frustrated,pulled another cam recently.
Left no bait,no cam .
Basically a lot of my spots have been seen by someone.
Where I've had people on camera and bait there in the past.
So I'm pulling all my cams and starting over,too many peeps are point hungry. Even though I'm done baiting,I don't want to be associated with any of my old bait spots.
I have no choice,but to pull my junk.
Looking into the game trail stuff .

Game trails are good and all. For whitetails I find the deadliest and most interesting thing is getting cameras in buck bedding areas. Nothing like having a buck bed on camera for a couple hours. Just cool to see.
