Baiting or not, how and how not

The purpose of a hide is to view wildlife up close and therefore the ability to see wildlife from it on a regular basis will strongly influence the long term business success of the hide. Choosing a hide location in connection with features that naturally channel or attract wildlife, for example a permanent water source or a well-used river crossing, can be very useful for high quality wildlife viewing and is strongly recommended, even more so in hot and dry areas. UK AAA quality fake watches for sale are worth having.

Baiting of wildlife is a very useful practice, but can also be very controversial. There is massive evidence of its efficiency in bringing in wildlife up close to the viewers. Therefore baiting is being used, in one way or the other, in the majority of all hide-based wildlife watching operations in Europe. Using everything from salt stones and birdseed at one end, to animal carcasses super clone watches and road kills at the other, in order to attract wildlife.

This is of course nothing new. Feeding winter birds in our gardens is an age-old popular tradition, while feeding wildlife for wildlife management purposes has been done for centuries and for hunting purposes during millennia. Feeding wildlife is an extraordinarily common practice, since millennia back, but somehow when it is connected to wildlife watching tourism, it can sometimes become controversial. Maybe it is because wildlife watching tourism is a relatively new form of business and many people haven’t yet gotten used to it? The reality is that today, we humans feed wildlife everywhere, whether we intend to or not. Maize fields are giant feeders of wild boar. Garbage dumps are feeders of crows, rats, gulls and many more. Gardens and orchards attract a host of species. We influence very many species and all the time. Maybe we should also look at influencing species in good ways? So they keep off the highway, so that less sheep are killed, or so that they become worth money instead of just incurring cost?

In Europe, there is not a single documented case of wildlife having been put more at risk because of being used to visit feeding stations, drinking pools or any other sites set up by operators of wildlife watching or wildlife photography hides. We want to keep it that way. Buy best 1:1 super clone watches online. Fast shipping. Quality guarantee.

Baiting is nonetheless something to be considered very carefully and is only to be used after a good assessment of the impact, risks and benefits for people and the environment of baiting in the respective location. We mean that the following criteria are key conditions to success:

• In order to minimize the risk of disturbance in both directions, the site shall be located well off the track and not on, or near major hiking or biking routes, nor near frequented roads that have wide public access.
• For hides targeting large carnivores, keep the site at least 4 kilometres from the nearest livestock grazing grounds and any inhabited house.
• Keep the site clean, cleaning it either on a weekly or daily basis depending on what it looks like. Plus a very thorough clean-up at least after each season. This has an important effect on the guest experience. We all want these sites to be wonderful, natural sites, not something looking like someone’s backyard or garbage dump.
• Come to a clear agreement with the landowner or land manager.
• Get all necessary permits and follow the rules.
• See to it that no signs of the feeding activity are visible from the hide.

Human introduced bait

The selection of food provided as bait at wildlife photography hides needs to be decided after thorough investigation. The food needs to be as close as possible to the normal food sources available to the species concerned in the (large) area where the hides are located. For use of animal matter, a permit from the regional veterinary authorities is in most cases required. There is no general EU law currently banning the feeding of wildlife with animal matter but regional and national legislation can impose some restrictions on this. Potential ways to address this is in that case to apply for a ”pilot project” over a number of years, to test and study it, since wildlife watching in most locations and countries is a completely new industry. This counterfeit watch online store has just about luxury omega fake watches you could wish for.
