Baiting
1. Bait or feed may be placed and used
for the purpose of hunting bear or training
bear dogs statewide, except that it is
illegal for any person to place, use, or
hunt over bait or feed placed for bears:
Beginning the day after the bear season
closes and continuing through the
following April 14th.
In excess of 10 gallons of bait or feed
at any feeding site.
That is not totally enclosed in a hollow log, a hole in the
ground or stump which is capped with logs, rocks or other
naturally occurring and unprocessed substances which
prevents deer from accessing the material. Liquid scent
used for hunting bear or training bear dogs does not need to
be enclosed, but is part of the 10 gallon limit.
Unless, when the bait or feeding site is checked or re-baited,
all bait that has been uncovered is again enclosed and made
inaccessible to deer.
2. Additionally, no person may place, use or hunt over bait or
feed that:
Contains or is contained within metal, paper, plastic, glass,
wood or other similar processed materials. This does not
apply to bait or feed placed in hollow logs or stumps or to
scent materials.
