Must be a bait station for bear?

[brew]

I call bullchit. Names or quit stirring the pot. Garbage post.

frankly i couldn't give a rip less what you call it....just telling you how it was...

[Ripper]

Agreed, Ripper is best heard live on Unleashed in the East, as well as all the other songs on that CD. It's also the name of my boat, fitting since it's always got blood on it somewhere.
 Back to the topic. The game dept really pisses me off when they can't agree on the interpretation of the law. Ticketing someone for having a shell holder on the outside of your gun is BS. I have one of those on my TC Pro hunter since it's a single shot. That is NOT a Loaded firearm and I would hope any judge in their right mind would not let that stand. That would mean an unbiased judge, so get out your wallet cause in this state you're going down if you're a gun owner.
I also agree with the previous poster that I wouldn't get caught baiting bears for any reason in this state. It's a bad idea all the way around. We can only hope and press our legislators to over turn the law. Keep writting those letters gentlemen, or start if you havn't done so yet.

Would you say this is for baiting bear?

This really looks like photo shop to me?? but yes if you are trying to get attention then yes this is what a bait station would look like.

I wonder how the laws would be if we went back to baiting.  YOu spend all of preseason baiting, footing the bill, and come out opening day to have some one else sitting over your bait station.  My luck and hunting im sure it would happen to me

Good point what about a draft plan for baiting on private land?

I don't think you would be able to sell a plan that allowed private land owners to do one thing and public land hunters another. I'ld just buy a 1/2 acre somewhere and set up my bait.

Nothing wrong with your own plot. There was a plan not to long ago to only allow bear hunting on Private land but not on Public land during August. What is the difference? Getting a small plot might be the answer. That is how it is in a lot of States. Having our own land to hunt and fish would solve a lot of problems. I have to admit if I did I would not allow the Public to hunt it. Would you? There is a difference between Private and Public lands. One example of this is the new ban on lead shot on Public Land in this State. The majority of this Site, (Everyone but me) seems to be all for it. I can't grasp how it being OK on Private Land but illegal on Public Land is saving the Environment. The answer is that it is BS and everybody knows it. It solves no issues but it being a, "symbolic gesture." (Quote from MT FWP) The ban on Baiting has no value either other than the claim it is, "unsporting." And it seems once again the majority of hunters agree with that. WDFW is not the problem nor is the USDFW. The Liberal minded hunters of Washington State are.

It is pretty obvious what we all see here. Look at the scratch marks on the barrel.  Oh....wait, I have figured it out. Somebody was thoughtfull enuf to put out a secured snack stash for Bigfoot....

It was a bear get together and they had a BBQ, chained the grill down so hunters wouldn't steal it.....
