Rules you don't know about!! (bear)

How far do baits have to be apart? How high? Ten hanging 10kg baits 4" off the ground, should do the trick!

I was thinking about the same thing. Use more bread, less meat.

Also, what are the rules about feeding wolf and coyote? Is there any limits?

Unlimited bait allowed for deer. Only regs for using meat for wolf is that you must use meat that is certified by inspector. Other words no pigs, cows etc that die from natural causes. These laws were enforced heavy back in the early 80's when hunters were hanging piglets that died at birth and we were using them for bear bait. Harvested deer and moose or bear is different.

One time I went across the border to pick a hunter at the International Falls airport. I was turned around and had to wash my truck as I had some straw and kernels of corn frozen in the bed of my truck before Us customs would allow me in. But yet Ontario allows us citizens to bring 100's of lbs of corn into Ontario from farms in the us. Don't make sense!!

That's kinda what my little evil mind thought up also!

no wording on how far apart bait sites need to be!

put out a bait 20yds in front - another 20 yds behind and another 20 yds to the right and another 20 yds to the left!

would make for some interesting video and some pretty skillful shooting!

Of course as usual - all this would fall under the discretion of the officer!

always seems to come back to the old "discretion BS" ..

If they just knew how to write a law then we'd all know where we stand.

Or.... if you've got a hunting buddy or buddies? Each of you put up a bait, oh say a few feet away from the other? 2 different bait sites by 2 different hunters?

The law will require you to mark all your bait sites for any CO or bird watcher to legally walk in on you while you are trying to bag your trophy bear!!

Will it have to be in English?

[chris lavoie]

English, Arabic and French will suffice!!

You can be sure,they'll be looking at the stats for the next five years. Residence hunters only kill about 20% of the Bears. NB about 15%.I believe residence hunters killed 5 bear in the village where I live.
I know at the cottage in Northern Onatio none of the residence hunted, but the town had 5 bear guides.

There is no problem with marking your baitsite. All that would be needed is a notice right at the tree stand. Unless you are careless and mark your trail into the baitsite where others can follow it then I can see no problem with this requirement.

[chris lavoie]

I was thinking we had to mark the trail head into the bait. I agree if we have to mark the stand that's okay.
