FL bears

[the blur]

Very interesting:   We were talking to a guide at a FL zoo.  Some black bears in Florida actually hibernate for the winter.  It's not the cold, but the change in temperatures that cause them to hibernate.   Some bears are active all year long.

They just opened season on them recently too! Have a few spots in big cypress I would stick one if I was still down there.

If they issue permits this year I am going to try for one.  Saw some nice sized tracks down at Picayune Strand and I know they are in Big Cypress SOMEWHERE, it's just so #%@& big its hard to find them.

Well, looks like this got passed. I pulled a quota permit for Picayune Strand down here in S. FL, so I'm hoping to fill a tag. Should know next weekend if the one we saw tracks of last fall is still around as long as nobody finds my trail camera. I know most members are from NY... anyone else going to try for a FL bear?
