What is a bait? Can someone get a Webster's out and define?

Here in Wisconsin where baiting is a hot issue between the Northern part and the Southern part I myself am not for it when it comes to deer or bear.
I believe once I get a Bear permit in 2-3 years I can kill one up North with out baiting. 95% will probably disagree but we will see what happens.
The public area I do hunt we have plenty of Bear sightings and I believe I can pull it off. If I don't that is ok too. I am Hunting.

Baiting is legal up North and if that is a tool in your arsonal so be it. Their are plenty of laws I do not agree with so this is not the first or last.
Add the whole CWD issue and we have a mess here.

Good Luck man, seriously, that will be rewarding.

Night crawlers work great for walleyes.

As does turnips, brassicas, rye grass, wheat, corn and clover for deer.[:-]

As does doughnuts, little debbies, candy corn, bacon grease, and meat scraps for bear[:-]

I'm a sucker for Labatts Blue myself.

Quit "baiting" yourself so much Jim.[&:]

Well well, I'd love to see somebody in Northern Minnesota shoot a bear in a 1000 acres of woods without any source of bait! Chances are slim to none. Baiting for these bear is a necessity when bear hunting in a huge wooded area. Bear have been known to travel easily a 100 miles in a weeks time in the fall when looking for food. If the woods we hunted all had oaks full of acorns or fields full of corn or oats a person could then do it but otherwise your success rate I'm willing to bet in Northern Minnesota where there isn't much for corn fields and oaks would be in that 2% if your lucky. Minnesota would be so full of nussence (sp?) bear problems that the state of Minnesota would have to hire another 100 CO's to get to all the complaints! Minnesota's goal every year is to harvest 5000 bear. They usually avg about 3500 or so give or take. There are roughly 30,000 bear in Minnesota. I've been bear hunting 21 years, been involved with it all my life (30+ years) and if you couldn't bait in Minnesota there would be more problems then we could ever handle. Baiting deer and baiting bear shouldn't even be in the same sentence!

Only thing I'd ask you here, Schultzy.....is

Would you agree that deer can provide their own dose of "nuisance"?
