coues7 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I could be completely wrong BUT as far as I know it is only illegal to bait bears. I've also heard that the AZGFD is working on making it illegal to bait any animal in AZ. coues7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I think coues7 is right. But call AGFD and ask them for the regulations about it. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertBull Report post Posted January 7, 2008 It's not illegal and I hope it stays that way. We have enough "rules" already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are hunting pigs, shoot em'! Unless it is an ethical thing with yourself, if so you are the only one who can answer that question. Personally I wouldn't report anything that is not illegal. As mentioned before we don't need any more rules. Water tanks are bait, calling is a form of bait, using sex to lure is bait. It is all a part of hunting. If you prefer not to hunt in these fashions, GREAT! Hunt the way you prefer and allow others to do the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
