One can only hope that this is true with a Louisiana bear season….

If you follow the Louisiana Black Bear Report on Facebook, there are a whole lot more bears in Louisiana that most people think. Plenty of photos with sows with multiple cubs, even 3 or 4 cubs.

We keep pouring out the corn and they keep getting fatter and reproducing.

I can’t wait for the tagging-anal butthole probing procedure LDWF will devise to allow “harvest” of one of these black baws. But I’m getting me a rug one way or another.

I’d also like to simply instill some fear of god in the local population. They need to not be comfortable seeing people walking up.

Plenty of bear attacks and incidents in Great Smokey national park. Zero in the neighboring national forest. Hunting is not allowed in the park. Hunting is allowed in the forest. Bears that aren't wary of humans get eliminated from the population right quick in the forest, but not in the park.

The antis and fake “conservation” groups will file lawsuits and tie it up in the courts for years.

Don’t forget extra cost of tag/permit.

Do people eat Black Bears ?

Yea. All them “hunters” bitching and moaning about bears and hogs.. quit throwing out pallets of corn and you want see them nearly as often.

No they won’t.

The Teddy Roosevelt Organization and Sierra Club will have lawyers waiting to file.

Ban bet? LOL

Wasn’t a hunting season one of the goals…

Not that I’m aware of. I worked with several of those folks and I can assure you that at no time was a potential hunting season talked about. Sadly, it was just more mismanagement by LDWF and the US Fish and Game.

When the restocking began they couldn’t foresee how well the bears have done. In fact, I remember one conversation with a biologist who told me, and I quote…these bears will never get west of the Ouachita in our lifetimes.

But the combination of monoculture forestry, thick cutovers and baiting created a perfect set of circumstances.

In 2016, SCI had to to step in and defend US Fish and Wildlife over the delisting of the Louisiana bear. Several of these fake conservation/environmental groups had filed suit in an effort to keep the bears listed as endangered. Thankfully, SCI won and control of the bear was turned over to LDWF.

I believe we have a season coming, but I can almost guarantee you there will be much litigation involved.

I imagine they’ll prolly only be lottery hunts and it’ll prolly be pretty hard to get black bear tags. No way they’ll treat it like they do everything else, where anyone can just get tags.
