of the type or quantity. Hunters are responsible for ensuring that the
hunting area has not been baited before they begin hunting. They should
physically inspect the area and question landowners, guides and caretakers.
This section does not pertain to hunting near areas where accepted

near food plots on game lands is legal). Any natural or manmade nonliving
bait can be used to attract coyotes for hunting or trapping.
