Is a "KNOWN" Bear carcuse bait.....from F&G's thinking

[AGL4now]

So Forum member COD shoots a real, REAL nice Brown Bear that was on a kill (Either winter kill or the bear's kill). Now all that meat from both is laying there on the river bed. (http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/...10#post1390210)

Question: Should his wife or his friend register that as a "Black & Brown" Bear bait station, It would keep others from using it. If his friend shoots another big Brown Bear off that pile of meat does he have to recover the eatable meat. What is the best plan.

One plan is wolves could hit it. COD could harvest several Black Bears off that pile of meat.

I am just looking for thoughts and strategies.

To those new to bear hunting, note how small the ears look on his bear. And how Round the head is.

I suppose if you register it, then you'd have to comply with the clean up requirement too. That has the potential for being a lot of fun

[Amigo Will]

I sure would not register it.

I guess the best bet would be to call the Fishcops and ask. A friend and I have fall bear tags in the same area and have wondered the same thing. Can we hunt over each other's gutpile? I'd be interested to hear what you find out.

But I may check out the kill site Wednesday.... Still need a blackbear.

As long as you don't move it, it is not bait.

Good luck! Maybe tell the wife where you're going this time?

Would it be using bait...or just planning to hunt the same area for a blackie...

Having mounted several hundred bears - both brown and black, experience has shown me that ear size has nothing to do with bear size. I recently mounted an 8.5 foot plus bear who literally had 'elephant' ears - I mean he could have been related to a mule deer! LOL. And I have mounted small bears with VERY tiny ears....Personally, I think ear size is genetic...just like it is with any other animal...labs with small ears, labs with 'hound' ears...etc...

The round head is, IMO, much more indicative of size and combined with an 'average' sized ear, the ears probably would look 'small' in comparison....

You could say that you were hunting over the nature killed moose carcass only. The bear carcass was in the vicinity, but you weren't hunting over it specifically because IT was taken by a human.
And the trooper would then say, "my professional opinion and discretion says otherwise, tell it to the judge, here's your ticket"...

Thanks, chalk up one more crappy answer from F&G...

I asked this question of a friend at church who is a F&W trooper. He said that as long as you do not move the carcass it is not baiting. If you move it, then it is. And yes, I would say that if you register it you would have to clean it up. Not a mess I would want to deal with.

Could we get the reference of that, shimano?
I think that is in relation to trapping bait.

I think the reference of that post is...and what he is referring to, is on page 17 hunting regs bottom left.
