What could happen if you illegal baiting deer

[smalldog]

What would probably happen is the same thing that happened to bear baiting. Bear baiting you can't even use scents to attract, that means scents of sex attraction and scents of the smell of different types of food. Its all baiting in the animal and that is exactly how this liberal governor and the head of the game dept. will look at it. How do I know, because that is what they did to bear baiting.  So when you take these polls and pit people against another persons way of hunting you will lose in the long run. Deer baiting and baiting for Elk you could loose the same way. Scents of attraction, that means deer urine, scent glands are also used for deer. Elk would be the same way, and the only thing that would be legal is scents to take away your human odor. Apple scents or any scents that smells like food would be illegal.  Our forefathers used all these things and developed skills in using them.  If you don't  want to take the fun out of hunting then be careful. I have used baiting and I have used scents and I personally like sitting over scraps and making mock scraps and using scent glands and have been very successful in doing so for whitetail deer.  I take my hat off to anybody that shoots a nice buck whether its done by baiting or by scents or by grunt tubes and rattling or using all these things all at once.  Blacktail deer are a whole different animal and the hunter that has mastered getting a nice buck and is consistent as far as I am concerned is a master hunter. Mule deer is a different deer altogether and take spacial skills for that deer.  How would the Elk hunter like it if they said that bugling should be illegal because if gives you to much of an edge.  I have killed Elk by bugling and believe me its takes a spacial type of skill to setup on an Elk and get him into close range to kill. I know guys that have taken over 40 Elk bugling them in.  I am not jealous one bit because, these guys work their tail of getting these bulls.   I love hunting and I love hearing stories of the hunt as long as it is legal.

I think i get it.

He is pissed over the polls about baiting. He does not like hunters getting pitted against each other. He is comparing losing bear baiting against the possibility of losing baiting for deer and elk....

[Fowlweather25]

I guess that would make sense ICE.

Account Hack Maybe? If not

I think he just worded his thread title a little off and left out a word or two...

But what he says does make sense if you think about it, and could happen, as far as scents and attractants becoming considered bait as they are for bear.

I am pissed over the polls and all it takes is some idiot group to decide to get signatures like they did on bear hunting and next thing is its on the ballot. When that happens then its up to the voters and that is how you can loose on this. The anti hunting groups sit back and watch and wait for the right time and they will act on it.  People forget that the game dept. is not funded by sportsman, its funded by the tax payer in the general fund and that is what gives the right to anybody to go get signatures and get it on the ballot.  That's very dangerous to the sportsman. The voter can take away anything they want if they get the signatures and it ends up on the battot. Do not underestimate the power of that system.  Years ago the game dept. was solely funded by the sportsman. The game dept. went bankrupt and the governor took over the game dept.  If all the sportsman clubs in this state would have united then, we could have stopped this.  At that time all the sportsman were all fighting amongst themselves instead of using their heads and we lost our control of the game dept.  I know I am rambling on this but, I have been hunting this state since 1969 and I have seen a lot of bad changes.

So are you just asking that we dont talk about baiting on a public forum?

[smalldog]

What I am trying to say is just enjoy what we have. Embrace the different ways of hunting, who knows you may want to try some other way to hunt.  Just because we don't agree with the way someone hunts dosent mean we will feel the same way next year.
