A friend posted this on another hunt forum. In the past month in Idaho we’ve had all sorts of new bear hunting regulations.
Now one is required to report any grizzly sightings on trail cams
You can no longer bear bait within a 2 mi radius for black bear
The unit that I’m currently hunting in the whole unit was shut down for any type of bear baiting

Last week I talked with a guy;
Fish and wildlife following him into his bear baitng site and told him they

wanted to see his trail camera picturesJust to see if there were any grizzlies on his bait.


And then we just received this

ASHTON, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho Fish and Game and the Henry’s Fork Master Naturalists are working to remove apples on Saturday for homeowners in the Ashton area who need assistance.

Any apples that have fallen or are still hanging will be removed to help prevent bears from entering the town. Apples are serious bear attractants in the fall and can make bears come into areas they normally wouldn’t.

The collected apples that are still usable will be donated to senior centers, local food banks, and/or wildlife facilities.

To sign up for apple removal assistance, call 801-393-8530 or email purplelauraus@gmail.com.

Have you guys heard about these new Idaho bear regulations ?

I wonder if they will try to force residents to remove apples from their trees.
