I agree with Dano. KP just because you read something on the net once does not make you an expert. We live it. You have a right to your opinion that bear baiting is wrong, however I do not appreciate people trying to state facts that they cleary have never experienced. For one who the heck baits with apples and trash cans? First i have ever heard this one. A fed bear is a dead bear? Um no. They have more tricks up their sleeve than a whitetail. They go noctural often as well and cannot be patterned worth a dam. Baiting here takes place in fairly remote areas where towns/civilization is not for miles. If the bait was not there the bears would still survive. This is not their main food source so i suggest you do a bit more google work.
