Florida bear?

[Flbt]

Fwc has had a open talk about bringing bear season back. Or so I have been told.
I hope they do.

 

[SETH RINGER]

FWC WANTS TO AND THEY NEED TOO, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY ANTI'S AND ANTI JUDGES TO LET IT HAPPEN.

 

[Hunt anything]

I think they tried pretty hard 8 or 10 years ago. It may have opened briefly but was shut down rather quickly.

 

[TackleThis]

We have a HUGE problem with bears in our area. If they would bring it back, or allow tags to become readily available for a season, it would be GREAT.

I see them on the Cellular trail cam I have on my property near Cedar Key, but never when I'm there. If tags become available I'll jump on one.

What I was told they had a set number that they wanted taken
And that number was hit on day 1
So they cut the season

That just means there are way to many bear

Hasn't been a season since 2015. FWC is conducting public comment meetings around the state to gauge interest. Hopefully, it will move forward.

Nah, any good anti-hunter will tall you that means it's too easy to hunt them, hunting them is unfair, and you are a monster for hunting them.

That's what Wisconsin anti-hunters and politicians said when they closed wolf season in Wisconsin after a very short window because they hit quota so fast.

Which might have something to do with the wolf population being absolutely massive there....but nah.

 

[coreydb]

Yeah.....it's unfair to hunt them until a child gets molested or killed.

 

[coreydb]

....just like the damn pythons moving north from the 'glades.

I don’t mind being a monster

I hunted with my dad down at camp dixey
About 1/2 way to Carabell the last year of the hunt before the stop. They killed more bear down there than the previous 5 years.

You could not keep a bee hive down there they were destroyeing the electric fence arms them all the time
The problem is the bear have gotten bigger
I think they had to be 75 lbs and finally went to 100 lbs. the ones you see now are a lot closer to 400-500 lbs that a different animal there.
