Baiting for trail cam sightings is illegal as well, for harvest, or glory pics in out of season.
Please post pics of a natural "well" used trail instead

I'm not aware of this.

Can you cite the law?

I'm kinda curious about this as well.
Is this in Washington,or private land,or what is going on here.
Is this the law,legal,illegal,or just personal feelings.

Bear and birds are the only thing illegal to bait so unless you are referring to either of them you are wrong.

If your going to comment in the illegal activities thread at least make an educated comment so people aren't misinformed.

The 10 gallon rule applies for deer and elk. 10 gallons is allowed at any individual site.  Unless its naturally occurring. Also there needs to be intent to hunt. You can bait for trail cams as much as you want if your not hunting the same spot.

I think she's confused about the large carnivore rule

[Bob33]

This may be what she is referring to.

(1) A person may not negligently feed or attempt to feed large wild carnivores or negligently attract large wild carnivores to land or a building.
(2) If a fish and wildlife officer, ex officio fish and wildlife officer, or animal control authority, as defined in RCW 16.30.010, has probable cause to believe that a person is negligently feeding, attempting to feed, or attracting large wild carnivores to land or a building by placing or locating food, food waste, or other substance in, on, or about any land or building, and the food, food waste, or other substance poses a risk to the safety of any person, livestock, or pet because it is attracting or could attract large wild carnivores to the land or building, that person commits an infraction under chapter 7.84 RCW.

I'm a little rusty on my biology but I'm pretty sure elk aren't carnivores

Interesting......
Although I have never targeted or baited carnivores,what about all these guys that put game cams on there deer carcasses.
I mean your gonna throw bones and such away anyway,I guess you can't put a game cam on it.

[Stein]

Sure you can, leaving a deer carcass out isn't baiting, it's leaving a deer carcass out.

Moderators should have the freedom to moderate as they see fit.
I have had friends that got an ‘unwelcome visit’ after posting about ‘illegal activities’. One of them it got pretty expensive.
Another reason we need rules and laws. Some folks just can’t ‘regulate’ themselves.
Remember, many years ago ‘Vehicle Manuals’ told you how to do fairly major work on it. Now days it warns you ‘not to drink the battery fluid’.
Common sense is not so common any more.

[hunter399]

All I can say is.....
I was fully aware of deer&elk baiting laws.
I was losing sleep over it. One minute I couldn't use the bathroom,then it was like an avalanche in a rock shoot.
A HUGE wieght has been lifted or let lose from me.
I'm sure glad lady grouse let me know the law of the land.
 

Here's a pic of the mule train going to my game camera.
Instead of apples,corn,sweet oat,salt.
They just carry my mountain money.

Thanks for keeping the sight legal and legit

People this site isn't a hobby.
It's a business and will need to be ran as such.
Some here have a vested, legal interest in the business.
At the end of the day some here are liable for the sites content.
Promoting illegal activities in any way shape and form is illegal.
Managing risk is covered in business 101.

Wise choice Hunt WA crew.
