You could make a case for that if you were restricted to only hunt your own land.
I usually do just hunt my own land for bear. I wonder why they have never made that an option before?
Because the dnr is only gonna cut you a break for property damage, well when 99.9 percent of the landowners that would get tags sooner would still be baiting, only bringing more bears onto your property, it would be hard to justify the property damage.
I'd be all for it if the landowner had to hunt there own property where baits and scents would be illegal. Then if your shooting bears, your property has a bear problem.
