Q. I was interested if scent is considered baiting. I'm including off the shelf type products and I'm also including the use of "honey burns" basically burning honey in a pan. Does using these scents require you to register a bait stand?

Thank you for your question. This is a very common question that we field each year near the start of the baiting season in the spring. If you are using bait or sent lures for black bear, you must obtain a permit. The regulations in this area are changing constantly, so make sure that you contact your local office of Alaska Wildlife Troopers annually before you hunt to make sure that regulations have not changed. Thanks AWT
