Issuing tags seems to make a lot of sense. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/florida-potential-black-bear-hunt/ I don't care to harvest one, but hope others will.

Awful lot of bear lovers around, I will be surprised if we have a season.

Haven’t seen them in NW Holmes but I know further south around Ponce de Leon folks have seen them. Friend showed me a trail cam picture that a friend of his shared of a big black bear. I’d pop one in a minute to try bear meat and a rug. But I think they won’t come up north so much. Michael Warren CPIA Your trusted insurance advisor.

I hunt 3 different properties in gadsden county and have had bears on 2 of them off and on through the years. In jackson county where I live they are starting to show up quite a bit especially on property along the apalachicola river.
