Florida Plans First Bear Hunt in a Decade for December 2025
Florida has announced plans to revive bear hunting after a decade-long hiatus, with the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission setting a tentative date for December 2025. The proposed hunt, the first since 2015, aims to manage the growing black bear population and reduce human-bear conflicts, which have been on the rise across the state.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been actively engaging with the public through meetings to discuss the potential hunt's details and implications. These sessions have sparked a mix of support and opposition from residents, conservationists, and wildlife enthusiasts. Critics argue that alternative methods to manage bear populations, such as better waste management and public education, should be prioritized over hunting.
The decision to reinstate the bear hunt comes after careful consideration of various factors, including ecological balance and public safety. The commission is expected to release a comprehensive plan outlining the hunt's regulations, including quotas, areas, and duration, in the coming months. This development marks a significant shift in Florida's wildlife management strategy and will be closely monitored by all stakeholders involved.
