Baiting Question
« on: September 07, 2010, 03:37:25 PM »
Had a guy tell me this weekend that it is legal to bait deer, he said he talked to the game warden about it but I'm still not believing him. What are the actually rules, I took a glance at the regs but didn't find the info I was looking for.

Thanks

I believe it's legal to bait a cougar. Just not very effective. I would check to make sure.

Ditto, I was in the same boat. Thats great news though

Aside from Cabelas, what other local-ish shops carry attractants/lures/etc?

Feed stores carry quite a bit of goodies for deer and elk.. The bad part is you needed to start baiting eariler in the spring to get the animals used to having goodies..Infact we're going up today to refill our elk area..Want to know were??

So true, wish I'd gotten started on this months ago

Oh well, hopefully the smell of my deceptively awesome garden of eden will entice a few my way... though it would probably be more like them stumbling across my poorly layed-out stash. thanks for the feed store info. May have to stop by one on the way home to check things out

Someone else mentioned bananas working well with Elk, might as well give those a shot this year too
