using live goats?...

[D360]

would it be baiting if I tied one of our living goats to a tree somewhere and waited to see if a cougar (or any other predator) would show up? just letting my goat clear some brush while I sit in a stand with my bow lol

I have never seen anything where it says that live bait is illegal.  The only bait that I know of that is illegal is edible parts of wild game.

hmm? good question, I would think baiting is baiting though , dead or alive

[BULLBLASTER]

baiting for cougars is legal anyways

Baiting is legal for everything except bears and game birds.

I used my ex-girlfriends mother's dog as coyote bait once. It was a mini dachshund. He whined and barked non stop so we brought him out to the pasture with us and let him do his thing. At first he was gunshy then he started loving it.

Honest to God he'd pee on every dead yote.

Decoy dogs are a great tactic for hunting coyotes.  Unfortunately it is now illegal in this state.

If you have pics of the little dog peeing on a dead yote I've got a six pack for you.

Now I just have to get permission to use the goat lol

Chickens work well as a live decoy as well......or so I have been told! (just in case it is not legal)

[D360]

Well I got the online version of the regs and did a search thru the whole document and the only times the word bait shows up is when it is talking about bear and game birds. so cougar is legal. Don't think I'm gonna get the goat but I started looking into chickens, What do you all think about using a duck? their about the same price and I'm just gonna end up eating it my self after the seaso, hopefully with a side of cougar.

I have a whole bunch of rabbits if you want to try one of those.      They sell rabbit harnesses at the pet store.
