This bill will cause a decrease in the bear population and we need the bears to keep the feral hogs population down.
Amends Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission which relates to AUTHORITY to declare open seasons on wildlife including mountain lions and bears. They just CHOOSE to make mountain lion population control per a LOTTERY (2025 bill). THiS amendment is that a season for black bears shall include a muzzle loader period and an archery
period starting no earlier than September 1 of each year.
This is a money-making bill at the expense of wildlife.
SB 2152 modifies wildlife season dates, which may improve management but raises concerns about legislative involvement in decisions typically handled by wildlife experts and reduced flexibility for future adjustments.
Questions
- Why are season dates being set in statute instead of by wildlife experts?
- What data supports these changes?
- How will adjustments be made if conditions change?
- Why is an emergency clause necessary?
- Does this override or limit the authority of the Wildlife Department?
VOTE NO!
ο»Ώο»Ώ1. Extending the season to Sept. 15 through Jan 15. could be catastrophic to a truly unknown bear population in SE Oklahoma. The reason proponents of this measure is so that it would be easier to kill bears over bait because when the mast crops(acorns, muscadines, drop) later in September a lot of bears will abandon their bait sites for the fresh produce that mother nature provides. Extending the season into January will mean certain death for cubs who are orphaned because their mother was killed prior to them going into their den for the winter.
2.Bears are not like deer and turkeys in regard to getting reliant data on the population due to their elusive nature.
3. Bears are one of the few natural predators of the feral hogs & if we eliminate or curtail the population that equals more hogs to an already out of control population!
This information was shared with me by an avid sportsman and hunter in SE Oklahoma who is against this measure. I agree. This is a horrible bill, proponents of this extended season are just looking for more big game hunts to pad their pockets at the expense of Oklahoma's bear population.
