Rick, You are wrong on most every point. 1) All I said was true. I said 2 were DLPed meaning turned in to the State, 7 were tagged. All were killed.  If you knew anything about hunting you should have surmised that. The first bear was a black bear and it was female, no cubs. You do not have to see the last slow step. But if the bear is eye locked on you, with hate in their eyes, head down, ears back, you are in serious trouble. And yes you can see the hate in their eyes, Where did you go to school? UA? If you have 10 bears and kill 3 over bait. You have reduced the population. F&G and the public have seen a direct correlation between increased bear baiting and calf survival and increased moose populations. Most successful? That may depend on where you hunt. In the interior the vast majority of black bear, moose's main predator, are killed over bait. You know the areas with the higher moose densities where there were few or none before baiting. You are wrong and you should apologize!
