I wish that bear was in my yard.

(That's a very nice sized boar by the looks of him)

He'd be Bear-B-Q by now and a nice warm rug. The chickies would be picking the bones clean then the dog would get the leg bones to chew on.

So glad we live in the Wild West... He would be shot on site - legally!

 

[the1much]

most places you can shoot them if their "bothering" your property or livestock,,, most jus call the game warden, and they bring out a big culvert trap, and relocate em. In maine we only shot them if they were "problems" ,, but jus messin with ya garbage was a "trap" call.

Title 34 (Game and Wildlife Code) states:

Section 2308. Unlawful devices and methods.

(a) General rule.-Except as otherwise provided in this title, it is unlawful for any person to hunt or aid, abet, assist or conspire to hunt any game or wildlife through the use of:

(8) Any artificial or natural bait, hay, grain, fruit, nut, salt, chemical, mineral or other food as an enticement for game or wildlife, regardless of kind and quantity, or take advantage of any such area or food or bait prior to 30 days after the removal of such material and its residue.

From a PA Game Commission release:

"Pennsylvania has a long-standing hunting ethic that baiting violates the principles of fair chase, an ethic important enough to be codified by statute. The baiting of game birds was first prohibited in 1869, even prior to the establishment of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. In 1897, two years after the establishment of the Game Commission, hunting deer through the use of salt licks (bait) was prohibited. Baiting violates the principles of fair chase that have been part of Pennsylvania's hunting heritage for over 100 years. We believe this ethic is still held by most Pennsylvania hunters today as evidenced by the results of the 2006 Game Take Survey, and the increased complaints received about baiting from the public. There has been a steady increase in baiting prosecutions for the last three years with 339 prosecutions being initiated in fiscal year 2005-06."
