if you cant afford $15,to hunt over bait ? then just DONT HUNT OVER BAIT,is that simple enough?
Everyone come check out the big brain on king!
I seriously doubt there is a single person here that's against the baiting permit b/c they "can't afford it".
Answer me this, smart guy.............let's say you choose not to buy the permit because [insert whatever reason you want]. Let's say someone else in your club put a corn pile 75yds from a stand, but you can't see it and have no idea it's there, but Mr Greenjeans walks up and accuses you of hunting over bait without a permit. Whatcha gonna tell him? It's a chitty law/rule/regulation, but it is what it is. And a lot of people feel like they're being forced to buy a "baiting permit" for that very reason, myself included. I have ZERO intention of hunting over bait - not because of some moral issue with it, but because I'm cheap and I don't think corn is near the miracle bait that some think it is. But I also hunt land that other people hunt and know there is always a possibility it's around even if I don't know about it. And because of the way the rule is written, the state is basically extorting you for $15 under threat of fine over something you potentially had zero knowledge of.
