Title: Baiting
Post by: robmill70 on September 12, 2010, 09:43:17 AM: Been looking the regs and can't find anything....is it legal to bait deer and elk (ie salt licks, COB) during hunting season??? I know the reg says you can't bait bears...but I find nothing for deer and elk.

Gonna post same question is Elk section.

It is against STATE AND FEDERAL LAW to bait waterfowl!!!!
It is also illegal under state law to bait ANY game birds, such as grouse or pheasant!!
