Cwd is literally 2 countys away. 70 miles as the crow flys. It probably just a matter of time before its here. Banning baiting would  slow it  down. i never had a problem harvesting a whitetail on public land without bait and i am not young. From what i read it really spreads were deer are concentrated together. I personally dont relish the idea of eating a cwd deer.

Can you point to any actual scientific evidence that placing small quantities of bait in dispersed areas concentrates the deer in a way that allows CWD to spread at a greater than "normal" rate?  I've found no such evidence, just a general notion that "anything that might concentrate deer could increase spread of CWD".

I guess I'm trying to understand the logic in banning very small quantities of bait in a state with agriculture, orchards, and livestock operations that have a far greater effect in concentrating deer than a bucket of apples.  To be fair, I did not read the entire document, perhaps WDFW is also recommending we eliminate all agriculture, livestock, and orchards in the state??  If they are not, then this is nothing but a slimy way of eliminating a hunting method...one that is so blatantly discriminatory that its supporters should be ashamed of themselves.

Maybe you need to have a close look over here at all the deer that share the mineral tubs all spring and summer with the cows, and in the winter wind up cleaning up alfalfa after the cows are fed, literally scores even hundreds of deer lick the same spot over and over year in and year out.  Im not young either but this is what I see season after season as I live with the whitetail.  Baiting ban is for one thing and one thing alone.......appeasing the anti constituency.   You are reading and believing agenda driven bs.  And no, I dont use bait all the time but Ill be damned if I think I need to be told I cant if I deem it necessary.

If this was reallllly about the health and care for deer herds I can  think of a few other ideas that would help ensure we have healthier herds like hound hunting, otc spring bear tags, bear baiting, etc. this unfortunately has nothing to do with cwd or healthy deer.

Plus if you can only set out 10 gallons of apples, I’ve seen 5-6 deer wipe that out in 1 or 2 days. Not like we’re talking about 50-60 spending weeks at a bait pile in 90% of baiting scenarios.

Then every private property owner in the state will still bait deer on there property,and the only person not able to is the public land hunter.
I will also add, depending on where you hunt on the east side for whitetail there's a pretty good chance that the deer you harvest was eating on "someones" minerals or bait at one time or another. I hate to break it to ya ,the deer you got was big and fat or even in the area was cause a guy like me made it so.
I rather piss in the wind,then have piss down my back.

Does not surprise me one bit, we haven't had a "Game Department" in a long time folks, when we did are herds were in a lot better shape, they had their flaws for sure but at least most of them actually cared AND the majority of them were sportsmen and hunters themselves. Its a whole new breed now, this truly does not surprise me.

So its ok for the state to feed in wintering grounds but not a hunter for deer or elk? :o

I read about feeding/baiting bans in affected states in Bugle magazine quite a while back and have seen a couple of other articles about it but haven't done much research on it. I believe it has been banned in several states already and I'm not surprised to see it under consideration here. I haven't decided yet how I feel about it but I agree that if a dozen deer congregating at a pile of apples is bad then a couple hundred elk gathered in a feedlot would have to be considered taboo as well.
If you're a Nigerian Prince with an inheritance to share, please call 1-800-Mar-a-Lago now. We're getting desperate here.

deer and elk dont congregate at farms in winter and eat off farmers bales neither do they get under fruit bearing trees after a wind storm and eat off the ground like a bait pile. Bucks dont scrape and lick branches :rolleyes:
