Summary

The proposed rule amendments eliminate the consecutive "early" and "late" seasons to create one bear season extending from September 1st through the last day of the regulated deer season. The proposed rule would require the purchase of a bear tag to take a bear during the season, and would allow for the taking of a second bear within specified Wildlife Management Units (WMU) upon Board approval. The rule prohibits the intentional taking of sows with cubs. Additionally, the rule clarifies bear dog permit requirements and makes technical and grammatical corrections.
