Baiting Changes Bear Hunting In Arkasas
From the Log Cabin Democrat:
Bear hunting has changed in Arkansas. More than ever before are being taken by hunters, the majority are doing it with archery, and they are doing it on private, not public, land. . . .
Myron Means, the bear program coordinator for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, said recently that 533 bears were checked by hunters last fall, and 433 of these came off private land. . . .
He had a ready explanation. AGFC regulations now allow the use of bait for bear hunting on private land but not on public land.
Hunters are making use of the line from a baseball movie: “Build it and they will come.” It’s “bait it and they will come” for bear hunting.

The baiting for bear including deer on private land but not on public land has gone to far! I know of several locations where land owners are shooting more game than glowed. It has gotten so bad in my area, other hunters given the chance will put a bullet right through the feeder, timer, battery and all!
I dont think that baiting for any animal is right. Why not want to go out and face the challenge of finding and stalking a bear. Granted that that is very hard but sitting over barrel of syrup for hours on end inst very sport like to me.
Where'd you boys learn to spell?
Baiting is not okay, but food plots are not.
Plastic decoys are okay, but live decoys are not.
Fly fishing is okay, but spinning tackle is not.
There are a lot of "this, not that" arguments floating around--some of them with merit.
Seems to me that the question shouldn't be bait/no bait, but rather set the rules for public and private land to be the same, and adjust the state or region quota to the appropriate conservation levels.
But what do I know?
Looks to me like we all need to stop fighting amoung our selves. If its legeal then its fine. Let the game and fish com. set the rules. And we will all enjoy this sport.
I am now 59 years old and I live in Utah. I do not think baiting is a good way to hunt. I know if you wanted to get me just watch where I keep my food and I will show up. The point is that bating is not hunting it is setting up and watching for something that is sure to show up because it wants food. I look for my game and have a lot of fun doing do. Following a track, path, or animal sign is the way I was showen how to hunt. I will show this to my grand children as well. Also I will not pay for a hunting tag, drive out on a range, find an animal in a corral, have someone point out the one I can shoot and call this huning.

Really, bear baiting is the lazy way to catch a bear. Learn the signs and methods to track a bear, it's more fun to stay mobile during the hunt.
