Boy old habits die hard for the yappy few..The few of you "regular" (as in regularly banned from elsewhere) sure can't seem to get enough of your own dopey drivel. The best thing the owner of this forum/blog could do to attract new members to participate is clean house and sweep the trash out the back door!
I thought this would be a good place to hang out, definitely not! Seems more like an internet half way house for rejects that are not welcome in other places.Hopefully the owner of this website takes you clowns for what you are and nukes your accounts. If not this place is doomed to a miserable death, few posts, and the yappy few Regulars keeping the legit members away.I'll be done here now. Over and out!
Screw them and their tags..
So why are you posting anything here, why are you even coming here still? You predicted a miserable death, a year ago, but wow, it's still here, amazing.Actually let me make it simple for you, bye Muley.
And now back to Bear baiting... So who is running baits this year and would be looking for someone to help with either bait/gear. I got an itch to whack a bear this year but, being in Lethbridge, I do not have the time to setup and run baits but I do have treestands and bait. Would be looking to do it with a bow as well.
I will let you know how we make out Weste,, if Sam and I get into some and I have some time off at the right time we can look at making it happen for you..
i Have 8 Black Bears hunting spot and stalk .. 6 Black phase and 1 Cinnamon also a blondei do not agree with baiting of any kind .. here is a readDavid Executive SummaryThe Ecological and Human Social Effects of Artificial Feeding and Baiting of WildlifeIn recent years, events within Canada and the United States have drawn attention to potential negative consequences of feeding and baiting wild animals, especially enhanced transmission of infectious diseases such as bovine tuberculosis and chronic wasting disease. This report was prepared to gather available science-based information on the ecological and human social effects of artificial feeding and baiting of wildlife into one readily accessible document. The contracting agencies, Parks Canada and Saskatchewan Environment, recognize that an objective review of existing literature may help to answer questions and concerns within and outside the agencies, and help to guide subsequent decision-making concerning management and research pertaining to feeding and baiting.Although the objectives for artificial feeding and baiting with feed often differ, the effects of these practices are considered together. In essence, both provide natural or artificial food for wildlife at specific locations in the environment.Significant ecological effects of providing feed to wildlife have been documented through observation and experimentation at the individual, population, and community levels. In Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the increased potential for disease transmission and outbreak is perhaps of greatest and immediate concern. Nevertheless, even if spread of disease is prevented, other significant ecological concerns exist. Disruption of animal movement patterns and spatial distribution, alteration of community structure with reduced diversity and abundance, the introduction and invasion of exotic plant species, and general degradation of habitat are all major negative effects that have been documented at different locations throughout North America. Although information gaps exist, current information appears sufficient to conclude that the potential for negative ecological effects as a result of providing food to wildlife through artificial feeding or baiting is high. Nevertheless, our current understanding of the specific mechanisms operating between cause (feeding or baiting) and effect is often too crude to allow accurate prediction of the nature or magnitude of effect.The human social effects of providing food to wildlife concern numerous issues (economics, human safety, wildlife ownership, etc.), and perceptions regarding specific issues can be quite disparate. The science-based information is limited in part because philosophical differences lie at the root of many of the issues and science is not the appropriate tool for resolution, e.g., science cannot determine whether hunting over bait is ethical or not.Review
In the end it's all baiting really, whether we call in a moose with a cow call, rattle in a big buck it's all a form of baiting. How many tree stands sitting over hay fields are there in this country, thousands of them. Personally I wouldn't have an issue sitting over an oat pile waiting for a big buck either, or taking a light out and hammering some dogs.. Some funny laws in this province, some that make little sense at all. In a lot of cases we have accepted laws as being ethical ways. In many cases this may be the case but in many it's
Well like always someone pulls out there ethics card. Well like this study or what ever you posted. Who cares, I have never shot a bear over a bait in my life either. Like I stated already in this thread. You don't like it lip your shit. Baiting bear is legal 1000000% and if you don't like it don't do it. Quit fueling anti hunting groups with these thoughtless posts.
I am so sorry that I started this thread.It was never meant to be a sideshow like it turned out to be..please forgive me..Mods...as the OP of this thread can I please ask you to lock it?
lip your shit
Mite have an spot for you Rick. I will let you know.
