BATON ROUGE, La. (KPLC) – Once an endangered species, experts say the black bear population in Louisiana is healthy enough to be hunted.
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission announced plans to hold a black bear hunting season this December in Northeast Louisiana.
Hunting would only be allowed in Tensas, Madison, West Carroll and East Carroll parishes, along with parts of Richland, Franklin and Catahoula parishes, according to the agency. Permits would be given out by lottery to those with a hunting license and hunters would have to take a bear hunter training course. Among the rules being proposed are hunters cannot kill cubs, females or bears under 75 pounds.
The season would begin on Dec. 7 and run through Dec. 22.

Hunting decimated the black bear population.
Species recovers – resumes hunting.
The definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect different results.
