18. To intentionally feed or attempt to feed
dangerous wildlife (cougar, coyote, wolf
and bear), except when lawfully engaged in
hunting or trapping where baiting is authorized
(cougar, coyote and wolf only).
You can NEVER feed dangerous wildlife "just because". You can however bait cougar coyote and wolf while hunting them as there is no provision against hunting them over bait.
you may NEVER feed bears " just because", and you may not hunt bears by baiting.......you clearly stated the purpose of your bait was for bears.....so which is it? are you illegally hunting bears with bait?, or illegally feeding dangerous wildlife....has to be one or the other
I highly reccomend you cease this practice
With all do respect Mr willyqbc, I talked to 2 Conservation Officer's at the Boat Show booth, @ BC Place, last weekend.
Told them exactly what I posted on here.
They both, one male, one female, thought it was a good idea!
As long as you are not hunting, OVER the bait.
Using a trail cam, as a tool, to identify Ursus Americanus, in the area,
was a good idea with both these conservation officers.
Reason, help to assist hunter in identifying any Sow with Cubs, Dominate Boar etc, in the area.
OVER is obviously the grey area.
Let's clear that up ethically?
As long as your ethics in obeying the law, that, "shall not bait bears", antenna is working?
Here is an example; the bear's behavior, can in no way, be influenced, by your baited trail cam.
Thoughts?
He's anything but a hunter.
More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...
It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
They count on that big time..
