    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Completely agree and that said I appreciate the offer. Still a few years away from that though.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Aaron my apologies. That’s twice I’ve misread your posts on here. No personal issues whatsoever. I’ll admit I’m at a work function and reading my phone sort of under the table. I understand your stance.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I hope G&F doesn’t try to bring an ethical argument to this. To me anyway, using bait/attractants isn’t unethical. Writing it into law with ambiguous language that says the department “may not issue rules or adopt a policy or practice prohibiting baiting” is not only why I’m opposed, but also...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    So where does it end? Live bait now allowed in lakes where it’s banned? No more trapping type/location regulations? Why just baiting deer? See this bill for what it is, an attempt to weaken the game and fish. From the same old bad actors and bureaus every session. Notice it’s shifting again to...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    In short, hell no. I thought the Covid response of masks and social distancing was like a lot of others called it: theatre. We all saw what the mandates did to small businesses. I agree, but if the science on CWD was so clear, there wouldn’t be any arguments in the first place.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I appreciate the response John. And I acknowledge that I came in a bit hot with that comment. Good on you for helping out. I think it’ll all boil down to you and I agreeing to disagree. I see the game and fish doing their job based on the info they have; and a bill that threatens to take...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    John let me just state that I have no interest in being confrontational or argumentative for no reason. I’m sure we have more in common than not. I will read the study you posted later. Did you read mine? Anyway if your looking for a 100% cause and effect study on CWD spread in ND, you’ll never...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    You do have skin in the game, you laid it out clearly in your YouTube video and your show uses bait to get bucks on camera. Not faulting you one but for that. It actually almost only benefits landowners like yourself and I who can bait since the average Joe is usually stuck to public land where...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I just think it’s very important to question why Fritz, Gabe, and the hunter hating lot at the NDFB are so strongly supporting this bill. It has little to do with the ability to use bait. I am all for making the G&F be transparent in their studies and planning. I also think classifying an...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Do those promoting the bill have to do the same? Seems to me the onus would be on them to provide proof as well in order to demand change. Problem is neither side can really prove or disprove anything. Again, no dog in this fight other than I don’t want to see game laws changed due to emotional...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Enough people complain about a regulation and it can be overruled via legislature, brilliant. I’m all for having the G&F prove that bait bans actually work but this is a bad idea. Remember, there’s a lot of people who don’t like trapping. Lots of people who hate hound hunting or mounting lion...

    How is ice fishing going?

    The fact that you caught anything at all at sweetbriar is brag-worthy in my book. I’ve always had tough luck there.

    Baiting Ban

    Culling is asinine. Let’s kill all the deer because the deer are going to die.

    Baiting Ban

    I guess 1.7 trillion to wildlife and land conservation is a win in my book. 70 million spread throughout every state and tribal agency is a paltry sum in the grand scheme of things.

    Baiting Ban

    Guy I have to reiterate; I’m not for banning baiting and there is no such thing as a definitive “bait bans work” study. “Scientific analysis of baiting restrictions is typically complicated by the absence of a negative control.” Bait bans are always reactive to CWD detection. Impossible to...

    Baiting Ban

    31. I did vote. I helped elect Rohr and Holle. I don’t consider either schmucks. Why do you ask?

    Baiting Ban

    We set the the limits? Where’s my annual elk and moose tags? It’s up to us how many fish we can keep? Ecology be damned if we want it bad enough i guess. Taking away authority sets a bad precedent. Probably will be challenged in court if the governor even signs it at all. Legislators should...
