The Louisiana black bear will formally be removed from the national endangered species list Thursday in a ceremony to be attended by U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.


quote:

As a result of intensive work from the department, including restocking and tracking, Louisiana's black bear population has climbed back from as few as 80 animals in a slice of the forested delta decades ago. Researchers say Louisiana's population today may number as many as 1,000 bears.


Great news for Black Bear enthusiasts in the state.

Wonder if the gubment gave each black bear a check to support its children in the process.

I've driven all over the state and have spent hundreds maybe thousands of hours of remote camping but have never seen one. Are they mostly in north La?

Nuisance animal in northeast Louisiana. Absolutely ruins your deer hunt. Kill em all. They break into your camp, get into your trash, tear your deer stands up, eat your fawn deer............ Yep, they're wonderful animals.

Still, hunters aren't likely to get a crack at the animals any time soon. Randy Myers, head of the department's Wildlife Division, said there will certainly be no black-bear season in 2016.


Animal gets off endangered species list 5 seconds ago.....

"when can we start killing them?"-OB board
