With tags jumping from 26 to 42 and a $50 lottery entry fee, hunters gear up for a 16-day season starting December 1. Wildlife experts say Louisiana’s 1,800 bears are thriving, though fewer than states like North Carolina or Maine. Bears can travel 20 miles a day, especially during mating season, and are drawn to food smells from miles away—so keep your trash secure and stay calm if you spot one. Residents are split: some welcome the hunt, others cherish the rare wildlife sightings. It’s a tense but vital conversation about coexisting with nature in our backyards.
