A resurgence in Louisiana’s black bear population has sparked discussion among state officials about a hunting season for the animal, which was removed from the endangered species list in 2015. John Hanks, manager of the state’s large carnivore program, says a conservative harvest in limited areas should be considered.
BATON ROUGE, La. — A resurgence in Louisiana’s black bear population has sparked discussion among state officials about a hunting season for the animal, which was taken off the endangered species list in 2015.
Black bears had all but disappeared from the state by the 1950s and 1960s, but wildlife experts say they’ve counted at least 1,212 bears in just the Mississippi Delta and the Atchafalaya Basin. The species’ recovery in Louisiana has been celebrated, but conservation groups filed a lawsuit in 2018 to get the bears back on the endangered list.
