Anybody think we need bears in Louisiana?Personally it chaps my butt that the Feds and the state have spent tons of money expanding the bear population.In my opinion they are as bad as wild hogs except they don’t multiply like hogs,we don’t need another nuisance animal.There have been several bear sightings in Grant Parish last few months,yesterday guy showed me picture of one he saw between Colfax and Montgomery.
Guys I have talked to that have land around Tensas and also close to Buffalo National Forest,Arkansas hate them.
I have had bad problem with wild hogs last few years,bought an expensive remotely operated hog trap and have had some success with it. Now I have to worry about bears moving in and eating my hog bait.Hogs are not easy to trap,it will be impossible if bears find it.
I tred to get my step-sons interested in hunting but they didn’t take to it,I was hoping my grandsons would ,already have them youth model deer rifles but they’re not showing much interest and I’m no longer encouraging them.My deer hunting has gone to shite since the wild hogs moved in last 5 years,now deer hunting has become more of an exercise in frustration.

They were here before you and I unlike the pigs. They have more business being here than we do.

Bears are 150-200lb raccoons. Change my mind

They are quite prevalent along the Vermilion River in lower Vermilion Parish. The will vandalize all of your hog and deer feeders and are quite the nuisance.

I’m with you. Cannot understand why we’d want to have them or what purpose they serve. They’re going to end up being a nuisance.

I don’t dislike them as much as I do hogs. I don’t feed for deer so they really aren’t a problem for me.

Bears were in Louisiana before humans. This is the definition of conservation

I'm indifferent about bears. I think they belong here but if they get over populated open up a season, I don't care.

Not showing much interest? I guess not, buy them youth model shotguns and get after some doves and squirrels. No kid wants to sit in a fricking shooting box watching a corn pile while wasp buzz around their heads.

Wow. Do you profess to love the outdoors? They are an important part of it. The nuisance animal is you.

My opinion is somewhat indifferent on bears. I know they belong, but most of my experiences have been negative with them.

They’ve been protected for future profit and there’s a decent population in CenLa. Leave em be!
