Yes baiting can habituate them, another reason to maybe stop all the wolf baiting or make them be cleaned up, for bears are hitting the ones put out to early and using them in the spring.
You want to get more people out hunting bears get rid of the having to bring out meat rule.

If you know someone who hunts Black Bear , ask them for a sample of Smokies or Sausage. Good stuff! I'd rather eat bear than stinky ol Mulie buck.
One of my buddies at work, a non hunter , said the meat pies he made from my bear burger were awesome.
Oh and I can see the reason for not baiting , cause of the G-bear issue. But in my opinion you don't have to in the spring around here. Just go for a
drive in late May and look for green grass and dandylions , and be ready for action.

Consider too that a baiting ban in our province dims the optics somewhat of our continued black bear hunt. Eco politics paints a broad brush which is held by a huge power group against all of our traditional hunts. So not turning a floodlight on an already controversial hunt imo makes sound business sense. Our interests require good management in the fight against way left anti harvesters.

I have hardly seen any bears around - not that I don't believe the region 3 biologist that they are abundant, but man, I have seen one in the last couple years and I took him (deer hunting / predator call at lunch / nap / bear)
I concentrate on still hunting deer - don't drive around much. I should support bear baiting.
I think officially here on the Island there isn't supposed to be any Grizzlies....doesnt mean there isnt any of course. But really I can't see any reason why baiting black bears on the Island shouldn't be allowed...might even luck into the odd wolf or cougar(depending on the bait) which would be great ! Too many damn predators in this province if you ask me !
Baiting bears in a wilderness setting does not habituate bears. When’s the last time u saw a bear roll up at a Tim’s drive through. Secondly to suggest the open sale of bear parts just to manage numbers is offensive to all hunters. The only value is the hunt and the meat. Sustainable harvest not wholesale slaughter. You can’t be a hunter but must be something else.
sorry
Fun fact, not related to baiting, A while ago I heard the bear population increase was correlated to the introduction of viagra.
