Proposed bear hunting changes

I think killing them over a bait pile and eating them is better than bow hunters gut shooting them and letting them run off and die because they don’t want them eating their corn and running their deer off or the farmers shooting them and letting them lay there and rot.

I’m an out of state on leased property and spending money for out of state license these changes would help for a more successful harvest.

They are a nucents. They need thinned out badly. Need to let hunt over bait.

Nothing more traditional than a Kentucky Family (Father, Mother, Daughters, Sons) sitting in their Deer Blind at the Corn Feeder awaiting the arrival of a Big Buck. Why not allow the Black Bear to be included in this Kentucky Tradition

We need a baited bear season.

To many bear. It makes being in the woods more dangerous each year.

Change the bear hunting dates

Longer season and allow baiting

Something has got to be done about the bear

This is a great idea for change

Something does need to be done with the bear population!!

Get rid of them make it open season year around for them

They have tore up few my cameras recently

I have also had a lot of crop damage we need to do something about this

I strongly agree

Not only do bears (not indigenous to Wayne County) roll down/destroy our crops, we must seek special permissions to help ensure the safety of our farm workers--especially during harvest time. Efforts to reduce their population are warranted.

My house people/ friends would love to see this happen ! Thank you

Definitely need a change to Kentucky bear hunting regulations, it’s too hard to control a population without adequate season dates and means to take game

I live in the green ford area of Wayne county and this year alone the bears destroyed my brothers garden and completely wrecked our trash box. We need this to happen as I’m a deer hunter mainly but the bears have became a problem and I had less deer this on a camera close by my house than ever before

Drastically needs to be done in the mt pisgah community, deer population has decreased by 60%, thousands of dollars in crop damage, that comes out of our pockets, with no restitution.
