About Me

This page will be a clearinghouse for information relating to stopping bear hunts- on the internet & in the woods. Stay tuned... Coming to the woods near you this December!
Check your state's Fish and Wildlife or Dept of Natural Resources page for current hunting regulations and dates. The NRA thoughtfully posted links for all states at www.nrahq.org/hunting/statefishgame.asp
Most states permit hunters to murder bears either with guns or by bow and arrow, ensuring a slow and painful death for the bears. States allowing black bear hunting in 2006-2007 with season dates:
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Idaho, Maryland [Oct 23-28; Dec 4-9], Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey , New York [Sept 16 - Dec 19, depending on location], Oklahoma, Pennsylvania [Nov 15&16- bow and arrow; Nov 20-22; Nov 27- Dec 2], Tennessee, Utah, Virgina, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming

I'd like to meet:

WANTED: BEAR DEFENDERS

Mission: Protect the last wild bears in the North American forests from a cruel and unjustifiable death during this winter's killing season.

Conditions: Long hours, no pay, difficult terrain, cold weather and potentially dangerous encounters with hunters who have murder in their eyes and guns in their hands.

DEFENDERS: Whiners need not apply! Strong, courageous humans willing to learn the way of the bears to defend them. Previous backcountry and wilderness experience and ability to spend extended time in the forest is desirable.

SCOUTS: The eyes and ears of the defenders, both in the woods and in the towns. Ability to use navigation equipment is helpful.

ENFORCERS: Monitor and enforce hunting regulations in order to prevent the illegal killing of the bears. Intercept illegal bear baiting, atvs and tree stands. Enforcers should expect confrontation with hunters, stand strong and not back down!

BASE CAMP OPERATIONS: Provide critical support for those in the woods. Run photos/media footage from the frontlines, maintain supplies, communication, organize transportation and assist with media and outreach.
