Episode 503 - John Hanks || Louisiana Black Bear: Endangered to Huntable Pt. 2
Description
John Hanks, the Large Carnivore Program Specialist of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife And Fisheries, joins us to discuss the Notice of Intent by LDWF to hunt black bears this December. This is the first podcast in a series of podcasts around Black Bears in Louisiana, and will be followed by two more podcasts: 1) with Secretary Sheahan about now what - how the state plans to execute the lottery and the hunt, and 2) with Maria Davidson and the history that led us to this point. John Hanks was Maria Davidson's successor at LDWF, and as Maria’s successor, studying large carnivores down in the Bayou State, we hear from John about the resurgence of black bears in the state and how the hunt will be an integral part of that management plan.
