FWC to host virtual public meeting to hear comments about potential options
for regulated black bear hunting in Florida

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants to hear from the public
about their thoughts on potential options for regulated black bear hunting and has scheduled
a virtual public meeting on March 13, beginning at 6 p.m. EDT. Those interested in attending
the meeting can join by going to MyFWC.com/Hunting and clicking “Florida black bear.” The
public can also email their comments to [email protected].

At its December 2024 Commission meeting, the FWC’s Bear Management Program gave Com-
missioners a 5-year update on implementing the 2019 Florida Black Bear Management Plan,
highlighting recent bear management and research efforts. Following the presentation, the Com-
missioners directed staff to return to a future Commission meeting to propose options for imple-
menting a potential bear hunt.
