    Default Expanding bear hunting

    GREENVILLE, S.C. —
    Hunters in South Carolina will see additional opportunities to hunt black bears this season.

    For the first time, private land in the southern portions of Oconee, Pickens and Greenville counties (south of Game Zone 1) and all of Spartanburg County (Game Zone 2) will have a bear season.

    This portion of Game Zone 2 will open for still hunting only (no dogs) on Oct. 17, and the season will potentially run until Oct. 30.

    A harvest quota of 20 bears has been set for this area. If the quota is met prior to Oct. 30, the season will close 24 hours following a season closure notice by SCDNR via dnr.sc.gov, social media and email alerts.

    Emaciated grizzly bears in Canada spark greater concerns over depleted salmon population. Starving grizzly bears in Canada spark greater concerns over depleted salmon population
    This additional opportunity is a direct result of the healthy and robust bear population in the mountains and upper Piedmont that continues to grow and expand its range.

    Bear season in Game Zone 1, the northern portions of Oconee, Pickens and Greenville counties, is unchanged from years past. Hunters in Game Zone 1 have a one week still hunting season from Oct. 17 – 23 and a one week party dog season from Oct. 24 – 30.

    Hunters in the Pee Dee and Grand Strand area have opportunities to bear hunt, as well.

    A portion of Game Zone 4, including Horry, Georgetown, Marion and Williamsburg counties will open for still hunting only (no dogs) on Oct. 17, and the season will potentially run until Oct. 30.

    A harvest quota of 30 bears has been set for this area. If the quota is met before Oct. 30, a season closure notice will be sent out.

    Hunters are responsible for monitoring season status and all harvested bears must be reported by midnight on day of harvest. Hunters can report harvested bears or check the season status by calling: 1-844-721-2327 or by going to http://www.dnr.sc.gov/bearcheck.

    What do grizzly bear in Canada have to do with Black bear in SC?
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    I think that was a hyperlink embedded within the original story that would take you to a different story about emaciated grizzlies in Canada.

    Not the one I ate. I mean it was edible, but I would call it "good eating"

    Had it once. It was put up bear(canned, mason jar style). It wasn’t bad. It tasted like good meat would if you had a penny in your mouth with it.
