I had you pissed off at hello.
Hard and at least a Month and a half. Never seen a bear or sign. Down here at the Main Lodge just East of Naples their digging in my trash can and mowing down my fence at night...
its not quite at yearly status yet. They will be voting on it again in months to come...
I will assure you there are bears in your lease. They are in Tide swamp across from you, and in Triple creek on the other side
Came across this in Jena once, I am pretty sure it is not from a raccoon.
The population numbers are kind of like the manatee numbers, manatees are only counted when they congregate at the power plants during winter, no one knows how many are swimming around in their natural winter habitat, the Florida Bay, maybe another 1000?

As if that should even be a consideration....yet the hunt/human safety aspect continues to have four legs so to speak....
I agree but like you said most of them are across the road in the Big Swamps.
Pine Flatlands with small Creek bottoms are not good eats for them.
I've never seen any sign..and I know what Sign looks like...got some in my yard.
The only people promoting the notion that the hunt was conducted for the safety aspect of the hunt are the anti-hunters themselves. With all the lies, misinformation, congered theories, combative behavior, sophistry and general buffoonery taking place from their side, their crediility is slipping further and further away by the day. The worst of it is coming from Anthonly Rogers-Wright at Emvironmental Action.org and his emails which lack any credible information (despite their annotated source material), and from the coalition of clown shoes promoting the petition to list the bear under the ESA. That petition is predicated upon the less reliable 2002 count as a basis for the population but refuses to accept any newer data obtained on population modeling by FWC. It also lacks any consideration for breeding and cub recruitment in the last 14 years. To ca it off, their "expert team" of "scientists" have no experience or expertise in bear biology or Florida. They consists of a Swede, a Dane, A Slovenian, a Cannuck and one American from Duke who spends all his time in Africa modeling wildlife management scenarios which refuse to include any take of lions or elephants. Their antics and hysteria are beyond comical.

When the food is low they will travel. Only so many in a Block.
Yep! We all got to hunt. Sure enjoyed my 1/2 hunt. ;-) Could the lack of talk-time mean that a season this year is a forgone conclusion, or is that just me being optimistic?
10/4 Huntmaster; the folks you profile here represent the lowest common denominator in the equation,right in there with our own Governor's office,which promoted the hunt in the name of "protecting Florida families".
Well said Chuck!

Personally, I do believe there will be a reduction in the incidents in urban areas as the people do the right things to not attract the bears...garbage and pet foods outdoors...AND.....as the population is reduced by HUNTING over time there will be the right amount of habitat to handle the bear population, a return to a "fear" of humans...and, importantly, fewer lesser males and females with cubs fleeing to escape the dominate males in the once overcrowded habitats.
