It's illegal to bait. Placing apples or anything to lure game in is illegal so if he is hunting over the apples he is breaking the law

 

[johndonwood]

you can bait for bears no?

 

[clawj]

Absolutely you can bait for bears, and people that don't hunt can put feeders for deer all over their properties but if you are a deer hunter in Manitoba placing "bait" to lure them in is illegal.

 

[SISIF]

A deer hunter can place bait to lure deer in. It just has to be gone from the site a certain amount of time before hunting.

Ya you should get a bear safe case for the trail cam. It's not worth losing one to a bear, and one finds my cam every single time.

Just to be contrary. What happens if a deer walks into you fall Bear bait site? Are you baiting.

 

[sled-in]

Just to be contrary. What happens if a deer walks into you fall Bear bait site? Are you baiting.

Then that deer is breaking the law, punishable by exacusion

 

[SISIF]

What if a bear waits at the site and harvests a deer over the bait? :lol:

 

[Patty]

Sorta like our stupid food plot rules!!! If your a farmer you can seed all the food plots you want and harvest a deer on them but if you have private hunting property and seed a food plot it is considered baiting!!!

as for a deer walking into a bear bait and whether or not its legal to kill, if your baiting with oats and apples i would say the CO's would have have a strong argument against you, but if you had a drum full of rotting meat and beavers you might get away with it!!!!

I have a cabin of my own, and I would say that if the bears are stopping in for the apples quit. Because this will cause nothing but trouble in the future with the bears returning looking for food. The next thing they are breaking into the cabin.
