You're trying too hard.Because evil tyrant Obama shouldn't be telling us how to murder bears! If I want to launch and RPG into a bear den during the dead of winter it's my God given constitutional right, dammit!
With all the problems and challenges we face today in America I'm curious as to why Trump thought it necessary to do this.
Also, how is shooting a bear hibernating with her cubs hunting?
You're trying too hard.
"The rationalization for this particular action is to make federal “predator control” guidelines match state laws."
Given that we are talking about hunting on federal land, the feds obviously have jurisdiction here. But I think it is nevertheless wise to try to match state laws where possible and convenient. I believe one of the things making Americans hate each other so much is that we have people from New York or Atlanta trying to tell Alaskans how to hunt bears. It's just as stupid as having Alaskans weigh in on New York taxi cab guidelines. Decentralized rule making is necessary for governing vast countries.
I'm more concerned with the low producing states like Alaska trying to tell the wealthy states like New York, New Jersey, and California how we should spend our money on them.
Agreed. It's a two way street.
Baiting bear and dear are perfectly legal where I live in Michigan and a lot of places in the U.S. As long as Animals are tagged and not poached. I could care less about baiting. Usually the people that get fired up about this have no clue how conservation and hunting work, and how immensely it benefits the wildlife population.
I don't hunt, because I don't get a thrill out of killing animals, but I totally support the people that do, because if done lawfully it is necessary for our echo system.
Baiting in Michigan does have restrictions however. I know someone who got popped for putting out too many crabapples. DNR guy saw it from a helicopter and hassled me from a half mile off, marched me back to my camp so I could show my ID.Baiting bear and dear are perfectly legal where I live in Michigan and a lot of places in the U.S. As long as Animals are tagged and not poached.

Removing a recent ban on bear baiting is hardly dictating terms.Unfortunately it looks like they get to dictate terms both ways.
