Goly gee ward- wern't you  a little hard on the beve tonight??? com'n man really,  do you have to be such a anti hunter to just say "if it's against the law then turn them in.  I bet you've never baited a bear in your life, you probably never spent the time, money and hours it takes to do it.  Just because you have never done it, probably voted against it and don't have a clue doesn't mean turning the guy in is the right thing to do. You would probably turn in someone shooting a wolf too I would imagine?  Just my 2 cents.

Wow!!! I won't go in to much specifics since obviously you can't read or follow a posting that your commenting upon.  If you did you would have seen the picture of a previous station I had in AK.  I posted the picture to show what a well utilized station looks like, real similar to the one posted in the beginning of this thread.   I baited in AK for close to eight years, we had two stations that produced alot of bears.   We'd put out close to 1000lbs of food per station.  I know how much work they are and how much they cost to maintain, but that doesn't make it right, if it a person is using it to harvest a bear illegally.  I am not going to debate ethics but obviously you have no concern for the  established rules and regulations of the state.  And lastly, there is spell check on the bottom right of each posting screen...

You guys get really fired up! I love it!

Was the original feeder found on public or private land? If its on public land, someone is cheating... If its on private land (timber co ground) don't worry about it.

This is just my opinion, but that looks like some idiots feeder that is placed there illegally!

I would just leave it alone and forget about it, if someone is baiting a bear so what. That's just my opinion, i think its a stupid law that doesn't make anysense.  People that bait generally get the big boars and don't usually end up shooting sows with cubs by mistake. I would just walk away.....

 A "STUPID LAW" doesn't make it right that someone is baiting here in Washington. Alot of stupid laws out there, doesn't make choosing which one to follow a personal choice.........  I would suggest a call to the timber company, maybe they have permits, etc to do it.  If so - then that is that.  If not - report it..

Wouldn't happen to be your barrel would it trophyhunt?

I gave up baiting when It became illegal, that was a sad deal. Had a lot of fun doing it, I never did it long enough to say I'm any expert like cohoho.  But in the short time I did do it I realized that it was the most humane, efficient way to take bear and if that is illegal than there is something very wrong with the system. Cohoho, if the treehuggers got a law passed that said only people with special rights could hunt and you lost your leagal right to feed your family off the land would you still be the goodie too shoe that your representing?  I understand that most game laws have to be followed, I'm all for most of them.  But the bear baiting was passed by the treehuggers not people that have any sort of clue.  No I don't bait no more but do I give a rat's a s s if someone does, he ll  no.

Maybe they're ground blinds for little people!

[cohoho]

An expert and a goodie too shoe too, wow..  I feel honored- never been called that before.....

Enough of the pissing  match here, gang.

p.s. Hunting in this state is considered a priviledge, not a right. Unfortunately Washington is not a "right to hunt" state.

[trophyhunt]

sometimes my passion hits the screen, I have to learn to keep my opinions to myself sometimes.  As far as having the privilege to hunt, yes for the most part your right but God gave me the right to hunt long before the state gave us the privilege.

[jharstad]

amen

[cohoho]

I understand about passion for sure as there are certain topics that keep me lively myself.  It is all good.  I wish there was baiting here as it was something that I really enjoyed up north.  Sucks we can't here.

looks like a grouse wing collection barrel

Just because you don't agree with a particular law, doesn't make a good reason to break it.
It's also a darn shame the amount of trash left in the woods by bear baiters.

Never heard if this was on Private timber company or USFS.
