You attract more bees with honey – and more bears with doughnuts, apparently
. A New York hunter has been ticketed after he allegedly used doughnuts in an attempt to lure bears, according to a new release from New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Police at the department hiked many miles for multiple days before they found several areas which seemed to be baited with doughnuts, the release explained. Hunting black bears is legal in select zones and seasons in New York, but hunters are not permitted to use any kind of bait to attract the bears.
On October 2, officers discovered a man using a bow to hunt for bears in the doughnut-studded area. He also had a large package of doughnuts in his backpack, police say. At first, the hunter claimed the doughnuts were for his own consumption and said he had dropped them, according to the release.
