Checking the maps,
one must notice that the only place with a bear to foolish human problem lies
in the "Closed to hunting area?"
WHY?
No hunting in the
very rich areas of the state?
The guess on the
number of Florida Black Bears 3000?
Mind you that this
is only a guess, on the way to a doctors appointment we, to our sadness,
spotted another Black Bear down in central Florida.
How many others?
If your lose your
license (by breaking the law) for whatever reason and you are stopped by a
police offices, (license and registration) what can you plan on happening?
You are going to be
arrested and on your way to court at the very least.
So, if we the people
are not allowed to break the law, why is it that state and federal officials
can get away with breaking their own laws?

On Monday, hunters
hoping to shoot the Florida black bear during the state’s first bear hunting
season in 21 years began buying up permits. With over 1,200 permits sold by
Wednesday afternoon, it looked to be a hugely popular hunting event, regardless
of, or perhaps because of, the national furor over Cecil the lion and the point

For the right to
shoot up to 320 of the formerly threatened species with a bow, crossbow, rifle,
pistol, revolver, shotgun or muzzleloader, out-of-state hunters are paying just
$300, while locals are paying just $100.
Open season on bears

take cubs or mothers with cubs.

reports say there are just 3,000 Florida black bears in the wild, we sent eight

Lawsuit Aims To Halt
Return Of Bear Hunting-August 3, 2015
Conservation groups
want a judge to shoot down the return of bear hunting in Florida and to halt
the pending sale of bear-hunting permits.
With permits for
this fall’s hunt going on sale Monday, the Seminole County-based group Speak Up
Wekiva filed a lawsuit in Leon County circuit court Friday challenging the
constitutionality of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission-approved bear hunt.
“There is no
evidence to support the supposition that hunting bears in remote wildlife
management areas will reduce conflicts in suburbia,” the lawsuit contends.

No hunting in the

. The
purpose of reinstating a bear hunting season is to stabilize expanding bear
populations in different parts of the state that are capable of supporting
hunting.
