Not to mention, if you call and complain frequently enough to the FWC, they will consider a black bear hunting season sooner or later so you will quit calling. The only one of the 7 regions they are discussing a limited season in at this point in time, is the one that calls in the most complaints... Ocala National Forrest. So get on the phone and make lots of noise, if you want a hunting season to remove nuisance bears.
