    So, I was looking at the rules and regs for the 2017 bear hunt this yr. and I ran across the section concerning baiting bear. and this sentence is a bit vague.

    •It is not considered to be hunting with the aid of bait if a hunter AND any bear that a hunter shoots at are at least 150 yards from any bait placed for other species (e.g. corn placed to attract deer) that the hunter knows or should have known is present. Salt and mineral supplements are not considered as a source of bait for this species.

    So my question is, what exactly is considered a "mineral supplement"? would say powdered molasses fit that category?

    That means you can put out salt and mineral. NO honey burns, grease barrels, donuts.....etc.

    I think more specifically salt licks or mineral rocks are fine but powdered molasses might be pushing it.
