The Legislature is close to approving a bill that would allow virtually anyone wanting to kill a black bear to get state approval during the fall hunting season in Horry, Georgetown and Williamsburg counties.

 

In the six years since the state legalized bear hunting near Myrtle Beach, hunters have killed 13 black bears total. Last fall, only three bears were killed, wildlife officials said. The state needs to kill about 30 a year to keep the population in check, according to the DNR. There has not been “enough harvest to manage the population,’’ said Sen. Chip Campsen, R-Charleston.

 

In six years they killed 13 total? Last year they only killed 3? They are looking to max out at only 30 next year.

 

NJ hunters killed how many last year alone? Over 500??  :eek:

 

How many bears DO we have in this state? I'm thinking, wow, we really do have it good here with respect to bear hunting.
