*Bear Baiting:* Placing or hunting over bait and bear trapping is authorized by permit only.
*Game Cameras:* A person may utilize game cameras on WMAs without landowner permission.

Remember to share the woods
When you are hunting you are likely sharing the woods with fellow hunters, hikers, horseback riders, snowmobilers, and other outdoor enthusiasts, so be courteous, be responsible, and be respectful! After all, it is exciting that more and more people are finding time to enjoy the Maine outdoors. With millions of acres of land, there is plenty of opportunity for everyone!
