The three sub-populations were supposed to be able to connect. The two north of I-10 do. The bunch way down south, not so much. But that bunch is Minnesota Bears. They were brought in and were never Louisiana Black Bears.
Last September, I had 8 bear sightings from when I turned off I-20, spent night at my camp in Madison Parish, and came back to I-20. That was about a 26 hour period and I was asleep for some of that. Time for a hunt.

that's per the recovery plan for the black bear

if only two are connecting them they are not meeting the standards for the recovery plan that may be the gripe from the Sierra club they may have modified the recovery plan also I dont know

doesn't matter to me I've been around quite a few bears and never felt threatened hopefully we will get a hunting season on them it a bear is something I have no desire to kill

I'm all for a bear hunt if it's recommended by LDWF and they have a sound management plan but seeing 8 bears in one area doesn't mean the overall population can support a hunt, make sense?


How do y'all think they would manage a hunt? Tags or lottory?
