Youre partly right with the 2 gal limit and directly right about why we went to the 2gl limit. Its actually 2 gl per 40 acre per hunter. The dnr has a great slide show explaining this. As for the bears just shoot them lol they are starting to get out of conrol, they really need to start issuing more kill tags. Especially those who have never put in before and figure theyd give it try, and if they enjoyed it and had a sucessful hunt then start the point system, but then that might cause problems as well cause everyone that hunts would be out slaughtering bears, so maybe not a great idea. ForgetI mentioned that [:@]

I am fairly certain that when WI banned baiting of deer a few years agoit was due to CWD. We now have a limit of 2 gal per 40 acres. As to why one could bait bear and not deer, my guess would be for the same reason. I have never seen 10 to 12 bear at a bait site. Less likely for a bear to spread any disease.
