RE: To expound.......Baiting.....
Asstated before the two most important reasons for baiting bears(besides drawing them outduring the day) is to be sure you aren't killing a sow w/cubs and to judge the size of the bear. Most archery bear hunts are over bait for these reasons. Yes it's a bigger accomplishment to do it without, but if it's legal and ethically okay with you then do it! To each his own!
