Audubon reports on state black bear hunts

A report on the website for Audubon includes details to expand black bear hunts in a variety of states:

Nearly 30 states across the nation have a fall black bear hunting season. As black bear populations have increased—along with bear/human incidents—some states are considering expanding the number of hunting permits allotted to take the creatures. For the first time in five years, New Jersey is considering a state-approved bear hunt. On the opposite coast, California proposed changes to broaden where and how the omnivores can be hunted.
