So does anyone know the process from here... It that it... is it done? They dilute the answers to make it seem like only a small group would vote to keep baiting and now it's removed? Or is there more to this process?

I am assuming if they can remove it like this after well over a decade of putting it up for removal then we could also put it up to be added again every time this comes around too? I am assuming we could next time just have them to put it one of two ways... allow baiting or don't allow baiting?

Hopefully they don't make feeding illegal because if they don't I am still going to have feed on all my cameras...even during the season.

i have been baiting deer for over 20 yrs, it is in fact a lot of work, i have had the privilege to take many young first time hunters out and watch them shoot there first deer, many of them would of had to wait a few years to hunt not being quit ready to walk around the woods with a firearm .  then we have the disabled hunters, my own wife is one i originally built my stand for her after a second back surgery left her unable to walk around well enough to hunt,
this new law may very well be the end of us spending fall afternoons hunting deer ever again. its very sad to me that some hunters just cant mind there own business if they dont like to hunt over bait then dont, i am not a big fan of these long range rifles and scopes the are capable of killing deer and elk at almost unbelievable range but hunters that choose to have that right, IF WE KEEP BITCHING AMONGST OURSELVES WE WILL ALL LOSE IN THE LONG RUN.  the opportunities i have had with the young , old, and disabled may be over, SAD , VERY SAD.
:yeah:

Well said Seabass.  It's a shame if they take away baiting...  I can tell you first hand that if you bait, it doesn't make it easier to kill a big mature animal.
+

I gotta ask, if it isn't easier to kill a an animal.
Why do it the extra work and the expense of baiting and your odds of harvest is no better, I call BS, no one in there right mind would do it if it didn't raise their odds.



I'll be happy to see if it makes it better for the non-baiters. The animals won't be hanging around some LAH food pile.


Every year I put bait piles in front of my cameras, get pics of awesome bucks every year and have yet harvested a one of those animals. I go the extra mile and expense to get an inventory of the bucks that are in the area each year. Just because there's a pile of food out there does not make it easier to kill that animal. The bait and camera more just let's me know that there is or isn't a mature animal I need to put my efforts to for the season.

There is still an opportunity to comment on the issue until November 17 I believe. Go to the WDFW site and comment through their contact us option.
