In Minnesota, it is legal to bait bear. However, it is illegal to bait deer. If both were legal, I'd still bait bear but I would not bait deer.

What is you're take on this? What do you think of bear baiting? If both were legal in you're state, would you bait only bear, only deer, or both?

Why?

Do you believe baiting bear is unethical? Does anyone live in a state where baiting bear is legal, and do not partake in this precedure?

I believe baiting bear in Minnesota, where I live would be the ONLY way to kill a bear. My farm is surrounded by swamps, and they don't often leave them. To shoot a bear without bait would be near impossible. They do roll in corn fields oncein a GREAT while but this is usually at night, or out of season.

Just curious, really. I don't plan on changing my ways
