I have not seen anybody state why they are adament to have a bear season.
About the only legit gripe i could label valid, is farmer crop damage. Lets hear reasons.
And i doubt every red neck and french accent joe blow will be able to hunt. There aren't that many bears.
It would be a very limited hunt, by a select few.

The goal of restoration is to have a sustainable population and the measure of that goal is to be able to have an annual hunt while sustaining the population.
There are places in LA where the black bear population has definitely surpassed suggested carrying capacity

Bears that aren't hunted get aggressive. Look at all the black bear attacks in GSMNP where hunting is illegal, then look at the bear attacks in the national forest lands all around it where bear hunting is legal.
Bears that shy away from humans tend to not get shot. Bears that want to frick around with humans and aren't afraid of humans do tend to get shot. Ergo, hunting bears trims out the bears that want to FAFO.

Reason #2-
It's Louisiana, the species is not endangered, so why the hell not?

Because they are a nuisance and tear stuff up.

Bears eat really good. Taste like pork but sweeter depending on what they’ve been eating. Also bear rugs are freakin nice

The entire reason the Black Bear Recovery Plan was enacted was to get the black bear population high enough to be able to hunt them. We're there now in selected parishes.

Harvest
If, in the future, federal protection is no longer warranted for the Louisiana black bear, bear harvests based on demographic monitoring data may be established with the approval of the LWFC. If harvests are implemented, they would be altered annually to reflect the previous year's subpopulation dynamics.
