Those reasons are political BS as usual! There aint no damn diffrence in sitting in a blind over bait, and turning a pack of hounds over bait. I know of several guys that hunted with hounds this year that killed any from 6-13 bears in a weeks time. Weights ranging from 250-600 lbs. When you bring in cargo trailers filled with granola and have 20 55 gallon drums of raw peanuts out you have set the table for bears. But if you shoot a bear still hunting within 300 yds of this you can lose your truck, licesnse and your gun. Plus pay court costs and restocking fee.

I hunt alot with hounds and love it. But just don't see the diffrence!
