Is bear baiting legal in Colorado? Bear baiting is legal in nine states in the USA, but unfortunately, Colorado is not one of them.
It is against the law to hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal parts or other food as an attraction for big game. Salt or mineral blocks used for normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.

The only alternative is to plan a hunt in one of the listed legal states that allow bear-baiting. Links to these states and their official state gaming websites can be found here.
