Allowing this proposed 30 metre restriction 'baiting' for Black Bear is RIDICULOUS for several reasons. Firstly, 'hunting' the bear from a trail or roadway is not hunting. Going INTO the woods, forest, wilderness to shoot bear is hunting. Today's high powered rifles/ammo travels fast and deep. Standing on a marked trail, or roadside with a high powered rifle...... Within 30 metres of a KILL shot is NOT hunting. Absolutely a WIN for outfitters and LAZY pretend- hunters. Ridiculous!!! How about MY safety when I hike along a trail, or along a road way? At 300 meters INTO THE FOREST, the danger from errant bullets is MUCH less than if there are only 3O meters of forest between the bait and trail or roadway. I know that many of us hunters are getting LAZY, but this is nonsense. Not HUNTING and NOT safe.
