WISCONSIN - People hunt more black bears in Wisconsin than any other state in the country. Hunters can expect to hunt even more bears this year. Wisconsin's Natural Resources Board will allow hunters to harvest 4,750 bears this year. That's a fifty bear increase from last year.
More than 100 thousand hunters applied for black bear hunting permits this year. That was a record number of applicants. The DNR also issued more than 10,600 permits, which set a new record.
The state's management program focusses on four zones, but bear harvest numbers vary in the state's four zones.
