It is illegal in washington to shoot any big game off bait. I feel anyone caught doing so should be punished to the full extent of the law and loose the privilege to hunt for life. It is not necessary to bait, all you have to do is hunt for them. If you have to do it the illegal way you should not be hunting. Remember that hunting is a privilege not a right. Us the ones' who do it the way it should be done need to ban together and get rid of the s.o.b.s that screw it up for and are children. Baiting takes away from what hunting is really albout and anyone who thinks they need to bait animals must just don't know how hunt! Supplement feeding is different than baiting. If we didn't supplement feed in some areas in the winter there would be no animals to hunt. It is our duty to make sure they remain healthy.
jackelope, you beat me to it. I was going to ask the same thing. Yep, there is no such law. I'm not sure where some people get the idea that baiting deer/elk is illegal. Maybe they assume that since baiting bear is illegal, it's the same for other big game.
Nothing personal though. Welcome to the site.
