My gut says no. But thats because I have high blood pressure...
Nothing wrong with baiting. Just don't be a master at it.
Why not don't see a reason you can't I just poor water softener salt out

This is on private land. The stump is hollow and filled with rock salt. Ignore the date, I never bother to set it.

but water close by.
In successful hunting puling the trigger is the last 10%
the rest is Learning and preparation for the hunt ... (90%)
You can also use water softener salt which is 5 - 8 bucks for 20 kg (45 pounds).
The down side of this is that some people will start to treat these sites like their own property, and get possesive of crown land.
I don't see an issue. I Any place I see being used for bear or Deer I move on. I'm not even that far north. Just up around Chalk River and everyone else does the same. You really don't see issues like that in the North, I'm sure there is probably the odd one. Even here in Ottawa I think in 20 years I have never seen that. We do have the odd trespass issue usually around farms.

You seem successful at it. Hope your lucky with the tags.Quote:

It was interesting how many game visited the salt lick , enjoyed collecting the pictures.

I was looking for opinion on this forum ....
Years ago I asked the question the MNR
MNR Answer:
Yes it is legal to put out salt licks (or other bait) for deer, moose and bear for the purpose of hunting.
The only restrictions for the use of bait in hunting come under the Migratory Birds Convention Act Regulations.
