Wisconsin bear hunters see a big rebound in harvest from poor 2023 season
Published: , in Outdoor News
A preliminary 2024 black bear harvest of 4,285 animals during Wisconsin’s five-week season represents a substantial rebound from a below-average 2023 harvest of 2,922 bears registered last season.
“Several factors likely led to this season’s increase in harvest,” said Randy Johnson, DNR large carnivore specialist, in a DNR press statement. “In 2023, we saw an incredible amount of acorns and other natural food production. This reduced the effectiveness of baits and translated to a historically low harvest.”
