re: Bear Season

3 reasons there is no season.

1 - There can't be one yet, LOL. We are still under the delisting monitoring plan which last 7 years and started in 2016 I believe.

2- They keeping finding too many dead. They found 49 dead year before last.

3 - I am not 100% if this has to happen, but they want to prove they are breeding and moving up and down the different major population zones. They refer to this as the Louisiana Black Bear Corridor. So they want to prove a bear from Tensas Parish screwed a bear in lets say St. Mary Parish all on its own. Then that baby screwed another bear in Concordia Parish and so on and so forth.

This is all what I can best remember from reading articles over the years and talking with friends that work for the wildlife department.

just got back from marion north carolina bear hunting.......their are tons of bear around there.

We were hunting on our own with a bow. Were hunting the National Forest in the mountains. We were there a week and saw 7 different bear of the stand. Was trying to let my wife kill one with a bow. She shot two bear that we were never able to retrieve. Tracked one in the mountains for 800yds and blood started less and less. Guys that we new put the dogs on trail and they jumped him up that night and he killed one of their dogs. They say their fat eventually clogs the hole and they won’t bleed anymore. Came back empty handed but was a fun trip.

I kind of feel like they know the antis are going to come out in full force if and when they open a season. Complete with a lawsuit
