Proposed bear hunting changes

This needs to happen the bear population needs to come down!!! They put number the deer where I hunt.

Black Bears have ruined just about everything they come in contact with. Deer Hunting, Crops, Ugly Kids. Everything

I have hunted bear in Ontario and 4 states in U.S. I have never seen bear populations in such small condensed areas than the area in few counties bordering Tn. I’ve had bear to come up tree on me more than once in Wayne Co. While bow hunting for deer but I would not take the bear for fears of the nonsense regulations of the Ky Fish a Wildlife about grain being legally placed for deer hunting. Many days of deer hunting produced seeing more bear than deer. The bear hunting regulations in many of these counties MUST be changed to both balance the herds of deer an bear.

I agree with everything in this petition and I would also like an additional 2 weeks of dog hunting season the last 2 weeks of December with the exception of youth only deer weekend

Too many bears

Over run by bears need longer season and earlier seasons

Kill all black bears! Leave no survivors!!

There are so many bears in our area that they are on cameras daily. They are damaging the crops and our personal property.

They're annihilating the turkey population by catching the hens on nest and destroying the nest.

The bears are way to over populated in the area I hunt and are constantly destroying my property such as camper and etc

I’ve lost a lot of money because of the over population of bears in the se part of Wayne cnty. Not only have they cost farmers thousands in crop damage but they’re super destructive destroying anything they can get too because they’re really curious creatures. We need a month long season through the month of October to really control their numbers. When you have more being shot in one corn field than is taken in the whole state in one season something needs to be addressed.

As a hunter in Wayne County I personally have noticed less deer population on our property over the last few years. Our property was also one of the first in the county to suffer crop damage from bears. Our property is close to the TN line and has been hit before others. As a child hunting I have saw the ground black with turkeys and now you are lucky to see 4-5 at a time. Between the bears and large cats in our areas our deer and turkey have no chance at growing their numbers. If this continues my 6 year old daughter will have nothing left to hunt. Something must be done to help our situation.

We need better bear control. These things are getting out of control. Destroying farmers crops

Agree something needs to be done

Totally agree
