Bear-Baiting Bust

[rsimms]

Twenty hunters charged, 39 citations issued and multiple weapons confiscated by TWRA Wildlife Officers in a Blount County, Tenn. bear-baiting case.

Some folks just think they are above the law. They figure once the dogs are loose then it becomes "fair chase" even though they baited the animals they are hunting. Good for TWRA and the good officers that protect the resources for the rest of us to enjoy and pursue!

Sucks for the guys hunting the adjacent public land legally.

Good job men. Like Churly said, the honest people that might be hunting nearby areas are the ones who really suffer from this kind of illegal crap. I hunt public land that is surrounded by private property. It really gets tough to even see deer late in the season because food sources get scarce and the there are feeders in the private property. I shot a buck late last season and his belly was full of those little yellow acorns lol.
