A Louisiana lawmaker has filed a bill to create a hunting season for the state's iconic black bear, the original "Teddy bear," which was removed from the endangered species list in 2015 after a resurgence in population. Republican West Monroe Sen. Stewart Cathey's Senate Bill 86 would create a bear hunting season beginning in 2023. "I think the success story of rebuilding the black bear's population can be similar to that of alligators," Cathey said. "It's clear to me the population can support a hunting season with responsible management."

About time
I remember sitting in a meeting with a state biologist at LA Tech almost 20 years ago who assured all of us that we would have a season within 5 years
I feel like they have just been kicking that can down the road for so long

Forwarding this thread to PETA and World Wildlife Fund. You rednecks will just have to Learn to coexist with the bears. Black bear Lives Matter

Louisiana would've had a season a while back if all the stupid asses would've kept from shooting them all the time.

Im sure a bear season would be limited to only certain small areas of La and Im even more sure that Vermilion Parish wont be included. Parts of the Parish are overrun with the 300lb raccoons and need to be thinned.

About 10 years or so I was talking to a guy at LDWF about it and I think the idea at the time was lottery hunts for youths and veterans on baited sites to kill a certain number of bears each year.

I have not seen anybody state why they are adament to have a bear season.
About the only legit gripe i could label valid, is farmer crop damage. Lets hear reasons.
And i doubt every red neck and french accent joe blow will be able to hunt. There aren't that many bears.
It would be a very limited hunt, by a select few.

The goal of restoration is to have a sustainable population and the measure of that goal is to be able to have an annual hunt while sustaining the population.
There are places in LA where the black bear population has definitely surpassed suggested carrying capacity

Bears that aren't hunted get aggressive. Look at all the black bear attacks in GSMNP where hunting is illegal, then look at the bear attacks in the national forest lands all around it where bear hunting is legal.
Bears that shy away from humans tend to not get shot. Bears that want to frick around with humans and aren't afraid of humans do tend to get shot. Ergo, hunting bears trims out the bears that want to FAFO.

I encounter the black bear often. Had one with my pack in his mouth. That one got sprayed. Had momma & cubs on trail in dark. I simply detoured. Had a big male jaw clicking , ears back, slobbering, i just stayed in stand. He went on . Had one stand up on me. We just went our own way. ALL in La.
Had one come up and sniff my leg. I have that on video. Would be glad to post it if i knew how to.
I think it gets blown out of proportion from less woods experience folks and trend following
