Legal ?

[Abalone]

Is it legal to use bait for Yotes ? or scent ?

[Washington Hunter]

I don't see why it wouldn't be legal. They're not a protected species.

[Rank Amateur]

Yep, as far as I know.

[earlybird007]

No exposed sight baits are allowed I believe...........to protect the raptors ect.

Dirt hole bait sets work though...

[Rank Amateur]

For trapping, right. Were you thinking of baiting stations for stalking into or while calling Abalone?

[earlybird007]

Sorry....I had trap'n the brain.

It is unlawful for any person to trap for wild animals using:

7. Sight bait within 15 feet of any foothold trap set for carnivores.

[Abalone]

I donno, I was thinking it might be helpful while sitting in a tree stand during a calling session.

Live bait is best. You can buy roosters at the Woodburn auction for about 5 bucks.

[Abalone]

You know I have ( Like dah !) thought of that ! But I don't think we would get very far on IFISH before PETA would come crashing in with a Gag order.


Rooster you say !

Abalone... You need to see a coyote get called in. The live bait idea is a problem on so many levels. Those $5 roosters are probably quite mean.

Seeing is believing the saying goes. Coyotes must be good a visualizing since the sounds they come into are what seems to mean the most. I have taken most called in critters at shotgun range. They have come in a grayhound speeds often.

If there were a good oder to bring in a coyote I think it would be one that worked during the mating season. Again a big problem on many levels...

Bait is legal. Just make sure it is "non-game". No deer or duck carcasses. Carp is ok, so are other fur-bearers. This is for trapping.

Also, make sure it is not exposed (sight bait) Cover it with dirt, leaves or moss. Exposed bait next to traps is a recipie for catching hawks, eagles, and other raptors.
