Why would it be "OK" for some to bait bears.....and not bait deer? Why is it some states allow it while others do not?
Ithink your looking at the difference of Federal Regulations vs State by State.. State by State does whatever the Game Commision decides upon. Like in NC You can Hunt with Dogs for deer..in many Northern States thats not even talked about! That doesn't mean it's wrong by the ethics of either group of hunters, it's wrong cuz the law says so.
I don't know that we can make sense of the laws..but they are what they are.
Baiting and using dogs are both illegal in Minnesota. In my opinion, andI bet others as well, the use ofdogs does not lend itself to "fairchase" hunting. I guess youcould also make a case that baiting interfers with fair chase as well.
