This is incorrect. No where in the RCW's or the Regs does it state this.

Yes. Would be considered baiting bears. I wouldn't risk shooting one in an area that you know is being baited.

If you are hunting over a elk or deer bait that the bears will/would/do eat then yes you can get in trouble for shooting that bear.
