Is bear baiting legal in West Virginia? Bear baiting is legal in nine states in the USA, but unfortunately, Virginia is not one of them.
It is illegal to: 1) hunt bears with the use of bait (includes, but not limited to, corn and other grains, animal carcasses or animal remains, grease, sugars in any form, scent attractants and other edible enticements, and an area is considered baited for ten days after all bait has been removed.); 2) bait or feed bears at any time.

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.
