FWC RELEASES PROPOSED RULES FOR BEAR HUNT

(Tallahassee, FL) -- Florida's first black bear hunt in a decade is taking shape. The FWC yesterday released some rules it's proposing for the hunt it hopes to hold in December. The goal is to manage the black bear population through a conservative, well-regulated hunt. One of the rules the commission will consider at a meeting next week is to allow dogs. Hunters may also be able to shoot bears within proximity of game feeding stations. Critics are worried the rules are favored too much in favor of the hunters. One woman who advocates for bears tells the Orlando Sentinel it's going to be a massacre.
