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?
Without baiting, not many bears would be killed
If both were legal in you're state, would you bait only bear, only deer, or both?
Bear only
Why?
Baiting deer is allowed where I hunt. I would rather not have baiting. There are many reasons I would like baiting ended. Too many to type them all out.
Do you believe baiting bear is unethical?
No
Does anyone live in a state where baiting bear is legal, and do not partake in this precedure?
If I was a bear hunter I would at some point try to take one without baiting.
I believe baiting bear in Minnesota, where I live would be the ONLY way to kill a bear.
Never say never!
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

As it should be!
