Summary
Vermont’s Fish and Wildlife Department is under fire for shifting its bear hunting policy without science or transparency—extending the season by a month into December, despite admitting killing more bears won’t reduce human-bear conflicts. The sudden reversal, aligned with a hunter’s proposal and possibly a prior promise, raises alarms about accountability, especially since hunting bears while they’re hibernating is legal here. With no clear justification and no public explanation, the department’s decisions risk eroding public trust in wildlife management.
