RE: Unneccessary law or a good idea?
Adams, If you hunt on paper company land for bear you are required to submit the names of the hunters who will be hunting a specific bait prior to the season. The paper companies also regulate the sites that bait can be used. In fact if you are luckey enough to be able to get permission on paper company land they will tell you exactly where your bait site will be through maps and GPS, they highly regulate it. At least that was my experience this fall while hunting around the Ashland area. I was invited this past fall but it was a late invite and the names of the hunters had already been submitted on the paper company land so I hunted over baits off the paper company land. The wardens also keep close tabs on bait sites
