I personally think there are already enough folks (cheaters) in pa that use bait to kill bears
I personally like the system we have now, I think its fair and keeps the bears from becoming less of a problem
as taching them to eat at bait in so many places we have house's just seems like asking for problems with trash cans and other thinsg to increase,a s they will associate so many things with bait yr round humans toss in trash
more remote places I can see baiting being a option to get numbers in check, and less problems from doing so!
as for dogs, never been a fan of using them to hunt big game period, but where legal I have NO issue's, but again wouldn;t want that here in PA
I'd worry too much about some trigger happy idiot shooting a dog
or again, maybe chasing a bear into traffic and causing an accident, as just too many small places near humans bears live in PA! IMO
