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.....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.

Really poked the hive and walked away - lol I've ran into a couple about 15-20 minutes from my house. Oh ya, they were in ID... My guess here. But we'll never know...
Something I prided myself in also was a cleaner area than when I started. The barrel and chains were the only objects not consumable and they had to be out of the woods by the end of the season. In a couple areas I baited it was required you gave GPS coordinates and trust me AK Troopers would visit. They would check everything from if there was fish remnants in the barrel, registration cards, to site clean up after wards. The law up there was restrictive to the point of even contaminated dirt (grease) had to be removed at the end of the season. Several areas required a mandatory Bear Baiting class in order to define the rules a bit further. Again - it was a law that had to be followed in order to participate in the activity.

But we'll never know... I haven't walked anywhere Kopperbuck. Figured it was a bait station just wanted to confirm. I don't know anymore more so I have not had any comments on all the speculation, actually not all that concerned with all the rest. Whoever it was also cut up the forest pretty good clearing the area and piling up brush / limbs and essentially cutting a clearing in the woods.
All I can tell ya is to just do not go near one .. one time we were bow hunting and a buddy had apples out for deer and someone saw them and called the warden and long and behold as they went to check it their happened to be a bear on it .. they waited for him to come to the stand and ask him if he was baiting bear .. he said no but after they checked him they told him if you shoot the bear your be hunting illegal ... once the tree huggers hear of instances like this it will be the end of baiting deer too !!!!
