Baiting Definition

Postby hunter4life » Mon Oct 01, 2007 3:12 pm

Does anyone have a link to the specific laws that outline deer baiting? I know the obvious stuff, but would like to see in writing the specifics on what baiting is. What are all forms of bait?
Thanks

If I am not mistaken the only legal bait is Liquid scent and the Trophy Rock...

shouldnt you be sighting in your bow rather than worrying about baiting??? :D :D :D

j/k. in my experience, if you have to ask the question "is this baiting?" you better off not doing it.

Point taken!

But the pamphlet and the website leave a lot up for interpretation, in my opinion. I grew up hunting in La and Tx(baiting is legal), so I just want to make sure I know all the "gray areas."
In my opinion the state does a poor job of getting all of the info out.
C winkler states he believes trophy rock is legal. I assume that is a name brand mineral lick. Why would one brand be legal and others not? I just want to know where to go to read all the ends and outs.

I have a 16 page report from the chief state warden regarding baiting that I could send you. I havent read it, but it might help. PM me your email address and I will send it to you.

My understanding is that Trophy Rock is a naturally occuring substance and is considered legal. The only problem is it is naturally occuring in Utah or some other western state. I am still not sure I would use it, could be one of those that is left up to the interpretation of the GW.

To be safe............if you do not grow it you can not hunt over it......

The trophy rock is not legal........it may be a natural substance, but you physically have to put it out..........

Cwinkler, hunting over a trophy rock will get you a ticket.

LawDawg, I believe that 16-page report is from Michigan.

I saw a funny sign the other day...it said something to the effect that this pile of corn is for birds and squirrels only, and any deer caught using it will be shot on site!!! Struck me as funny.
It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
