re: What do y’all think of the politics of bear hunting in Louisiana?

People do it in other states. Bear is pretty freaking greasy, though.

Coworker have some some bear sticks/mini sausages a couple years back. The taste was ok, but even just one felt pretty damn heavy in the stomach. Was weird.

I'd be for it as long as there is no baiting and no dogs used.

I know not to believe anything a “humane society” says.

In fact, believe the opposite is true.

Animals that don't have natural enemies should have open seasons or they will get out of control.
Rabbits/cottontails are at the bottom of the food chain.
I run rabbits with Beagles. A few years ago there were many rabbits running around.
The government brought in Coyotes, Red wolves, and made birds of Prey a protected species.
Now Peasants, Grouse, Quail are gone. Cottontail rabbits are getting scarce. The hawks have nothing to eat.
Spring of 22, there seemed to be a hawk on every power pole. Now they have disappeared.

There's a good bit in south louisiana. my parents get them on security camera almost every year. they big big.

There are a ton of them in St Mary Parish. We see them all the time deer hunting.
