oh yeah right…I only kill what I eat…then why in the blue moon are we killing each other and not eating what we kill…give me a break…the whole idea of KILLING is just plain out stupid to begin with…whoever thought that humans would ever fine pleasure and fun and excitement in killing another being on this earth…what a terrible disappointment in human nature….what bout controlling beings in a non lethal fashion without cruelty……duhhhhhhhhh

To the uninformed, They track the kills with tags and a log in system, just like they do with alligators, and yes, you have to check each day to see when they close the season, when the quota is met then the season closes. The bears have been protected to the point of overpopulation in certain areas, and the numbers need to be reduced. You would think differently if you had bears killing your pets or livestock, or if your children couldn’t play outside because of them. I’ve eaten bear meat and it is very good, I would venture that most all of the meat will be eaten.

I would love the opportunity to hunt one of these beautiful creatures. And for the record. I always eat what I kill. I firmly believe in population management, but I am curious as to how the FWC intends to track and manage quotas..

What happens if 600 bears are brought in the first day? Not to mention the bears killed on the road and poached.

It has been a long time for some wildlife to rebound. We keep building out and taking their space. I have hunted and fished during my life time but bears don’t seem like a just take. i’m fairly certain the meat will not be eaten by these guys or gals.

Yes Trish if you want to hunt and fish at least make that a reason to and eat the things you hunt. Why just kill for a trophy? I guess I don’t get it and yes I have my concealed weapon permit so I’m not a gun snob. I’m just curious over 1 thousand people are wanting to kill a small number of bears for what?

Teresa, points for you girl! Are they going to make the hunters call in each morning to make sure they can still stalk and kill the “big bad bears”? Probably not, so how are they going to control the numbers? Inquiring minds want to know!

WOW. Again, this is sickening. And as said above, how will hunters know where the quota of bears have been met? And like Audrey said, I am also a firm believer in eat what you kill. Kill for sport is just messed up. Let’s kill enough bears so that they can be extinct again.
