Since the man confessed, this is not the case, but there is always the possibility that the bait pile was created by a deer hunter cleaning his take the day before.

A similar situation arose last year when a Yellowstone Ranger accused a number of bear hunters of this. He was fired but the union got him reinstated with back pay.

What does a hunter do if he happens onto a bear feeding on the remnents from another hunters kill.

what can he do?

Try and antagonize the bear to attack, and then shoot him in self defense for dinner...

I would guess that might fly....
