Thank you. Truth be told, I was having an anxiety attack when I thought about that and posted it. Thanks for all that info. I am calm now. Tomorrow, I’m going to call Idaho Fish and game, because I couldn’t find it in the regulations. I may have missed it, but they’ll know better than anybody.

Besides, even if another Hunter does show up, I’m a very nice guy. I’m sure if I handle it nicely, they’ll understand and I can maybe work up a compromise. You actually brought up a very good point. My spot is about 200 yards away from the road, so I guess I was being lazy. Do you think I should find a spot a little bit deeper?

I don’t mind walking a long distance, as long as I don’t get lost. I had that happened to a friend once. She got lost for a full day, and search and rescue finally found her after 24 hours.

Then again, I have seen bears at the spot, and it is at the legal distance I can bait from the road.

tough decision.

Again, thanks for all the advice. If you’d like, I can shoot you the link of the bear seasons and rules for Idaho, just in case you’re interested in looking at them.
