Ep. 291 The Expectations Of The Florida Bear Hunt with Chuck Echenique

  If you’ve been following the hunting politics here in Florida you’re more than aware of the fact that we have had some very serious discussions about getting ourselves a bear hunt. We did have a hunt back in 2015 that came close to meeting the quota in just around 2 days subsequently triggering the closure of a scheduled week-long season. That hunt was a publicity nightmare to say the least. We’ve already had 1 meeting this year that went well for the hunters back in May and now it's time for the final ruling on the bear hunt and to establish a season for later this year. This meeting will be held in Havana Florida on August 13 and hunters need to pack the room. Sadly we won’t be able to attend this meeting for our day jobs but you can guarantee I'll be tuned in to the Florida channel and following along.  Fingers crossed things will go as we discussed them in this show and science and conservation will win out over emotion.
