They now realize it will be easier to eat people in Florida cities. I guess those black bears on Ward Basin in East Milton who are eating out of garbage cans did not realize they were outside the city limits of Milton, and they would fare better if they would eat some people coming out of the hardware store, “the bear start eating people in the cities again”

Bottom line is, you aren't going to see a bear season until the bear start eating people in the cities again, and the FWC and the Governor's office has enough heat put on them to open the season back up. The Black Bear Management Plan stated a hunting season wouldn't be considered until 2021, so it was actually amazing to see the 2015 season. However, numerous bear attacks in 2013 - 2014 caused the Governor's office to catch a little heat, and amazingly, we had a bear season. The lack of bear attacks of late, cause by the removal of the 112 problem bear, has taken the heat off the governor's office. I guess we need to publicize the next FWC meeting a little better and ask EVERY HUNTER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA to show up, so the FWC understands that there are more of us out here interested in the bear hunt than they might think.

Time to contact Governor Rick Scott: The FWC's seven Commissioners are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Florida Senate to five-year terms.

Personally, I'd rather err on the side of caution and delay it a year or so to make sure their numbers and health are strong. The hunt will be neccessary eventually.

So let me get this right...We now let 11 yr olds and social media dictate our hunting laws? So an 11 year old wants the FWC to perform a vasectomy on BALOO and all his kin. I don't know if Baloo would approve:) “Megan Sorbo, an 11-year-old from Orlando, told state wildlife commissioners on Wednesday the bear population can be managed humanely, including the use of bear sterilization”
