RE: Hunting Baited Woods Fines
I just wish baiting were illegal in WI. The practice really sucks. It is unethical, ineffective, and screws up the hunting for the rest of us. It is an artificial input into the ecosystem. It screws up deers biology, and changes their natural movement patterns.

Why should the buck cost double ? A dead deer is a dead deer . In my state they make a poacher pay $500 per deer in restitution just to compensate the state for the loss of a deer regardless of it's gender , and that's on top of the fine(s) and court costs . Unless fines are stiffened and jail terms are added poachers have little to fear , it's hard enough just to catch them . Once they are caught they should have to suffer both financially as well as losing some freedom , that's what we do to criminals , and criminals is what they are .
