2024 Louisiana black bear hunting lottery opens for 10 permits for population management.
Louisiana's black bear hunting lottery opens this week, allowing hunters to participate in a regulated hunt of the sub-species. Previously protected under the Endangered Species Act, the growing Louisiana black bear population has prompted wildlife authorities to reintroduce limited hunting opportunities. Hunters must apply through a lottery system, with 10 permits issued for 2024. The lottery aims to support wildlife conservation efforts and manage the bear population to prevent overpopulation and resource depletion.
