HB 1618

[DoubleRidge]

you dont own property do you

Yeah actually I do....but I dont own the deer, turkey and songbirds...and I do care about whats best for wildlife.

 

[Strict]

Ok....so poison darts, spot lighting, aflatoxin, no limits.....the heck with conservation and stewardship....I bought it and can do what I want....gotcha.

If choosing between excessive government restrictions or private property freedom, I'll choose the latter. You live in a state where farmers can gut shoot dozens of deer on a summer night so they run out of the field to die but if a private land owner shoots a doe to feed his family on the wrong date or with the wrong weapon he can be fined and/or lose hunting privileges. Which one is stewardship?

There will always be extreme examples on each end of the spectrum....the conversation started with the question..."should baiting be legal?"
I dont believe so...so, if choosing between extreme examples and sound stewardship Ill choose the latter...baiting isnt good for wildlife.
