    Re: Baiting ungulates clarification required

    Since this topic is open...
    clearly it’s illegal to hunt a bear over a gut pile.

    is it also illegal to hunt a bear over its own kill?

    is it illegal to hunt a bear that is in the vicinity of say free ranging cow calves?

    is it illegal to hunt a bear over a known patch of berries?

    im interested to know where the line is drawn.

    over its own kill is one i would like to know too , does that included cougars and wolfs as well ? . placing apples for deer , well . if you attract a bear pull the bait and move , wait till he moves on.. Berries is fine thats a natural food source , like grass or roots . if its stalking calfs , i would say there wouldnt be a problem removing the bear , The good thing about black bear hunting in BC Is you dont need bait . there everywhere !

If I leave apples for the PURPOSE of hunting deer but a bear comes along, am I committing an offense? I've never used bait before so I'd like to get some clarification of the law.
    Please, I understand that there's many differing opinions about baiting, but I'm here just for legalities.
    You can bait for deer legally. Do not shoot a bear at or near your bait if one comes around, period.

    That's why I asked if it's the purpose that's illegal, not the kind of bait itself.
    Easy, don't shoot a bear that comes to your bait pile! You will not find a deer there if a bear frequents your bait! I have been putting salt out for ungulates for years, and yes i do get bears coming in to it as well, but it is for the moose and deer! Don't need to bait bears in BC anyways, they are like mosquitos, everywhere!! Moosin

    Personal opinion .
    "My biggest fear is that when I die, my wife sells all my hunting gear for what I told her I paid for it"

    Road hunting should be illegal, shooting within 50yards of any road too, ATVs, shooting beyond 100yards with a rifle, camouflage, crossbows, semiautomatics, and I could add more

    All of these things are lazy and unethical
