Baiting ????

[birddog]

If you know the bait is there (regardless of who put it there) and you hunt it anyway, you are in violation, in my opinion.

What would you do if I was hunting there where it is baited and you came up to me and I told you I had no idea it was baited?
Would I still get ticketed or even arrested??

Depends on the totality of the circumstances, as any enforcement issue should......

'In violation' does not mean that your are going to get a ticket or get arrested.
