    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Guys guys guys. NDGF is not necessarily worried about baiting being the spreader of CWD. If you read the regulations carefully it's obvious that NDGF is worried about hunting big game over bait in particular. THAT's the real threat to the resource they're sworn to protect. So please - let's...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Looks to me like NDGF is maybe going to be asked to defend a poorly contrived and inconsistent position. They implemented regs that affect a lot of people, especially the elderly and disabled. I’d say somebody at NDGF might have decided to err on the ethics side of a difficult choice and will...

    Fishing off piers is a fairly big market worldwide. Searching for "fishing pier drop net" results in a plethora of purchase and DIY options. It seems like a glow in the dark net would be really handy (you could easily see the silhouette of the fish going into the basket).

    Which pants in particular? There's dozens of styles of "with flex" jeans. I'm always looking for diamonds in the rough like this.

    No way… Your family could afford loincloth? We were always jealous of kids like you.

    I wrote a semi cheesy little kids book for my sons.

    Wow, well done.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    The pros of baiting are rarely discussed in their defense of bait bans, but the pros are significant. That’s what makes me fairly outspoken on this issue. They won’t have an honest/open discussion about it in their arguments. Just like the COVID debacle. Once the mRNA jab was chosen as the lone...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Bait makes the kill shot dramatically easier to deliver compared to deer drives, etc. I suspect that the majority of bait site kills are one/done. I wonder how baiting stacks up against non-baiting kill attempts with respect to conservation of the resource (how many deer are killed but never...

    I bought Arc’teryx Alpha mountaineering rain gear 20 years ago for fishing because kickass fishing raingear wasnt a thing yet. $200 for jacket, same for bibs. On sale at Scheels. Still own them - still incredibly comfortable and effective. They’re $650 each now. 😬

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I’d like to see the BHA defense of banning scents in particular. “As used herein, bait includes grain, seed, mineral, salt, fruit, vegetable nut, hay, any naturally derived scent or lure (e.g. urine), or natural or manufactured food placed by an individual.”

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    BHA: “While we do not have a stance regarding baiting ethics,”… I don’t believe that for a second.

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Even if CWD can be managed (debatable), the bait ban exclusion from NDGF’s overall management plan would limit just one relatively tiny portion of the entire theoretical transmission pathway. Nobody’s tying their hands from reducing transmission in the other ways. (carcass transport etc)
