On this episode of the Bear Grease Render, host Clay Newcomb is joined by Travis Thompson of All Florida to share about the history of bear hunting in the state, when and why the hunting season ended, and the work that had gone into bringing back the Florida bear hunt.  It’s a success story of how conservation minded groups and individuals came together to see science-based, sustainable wildlife management for the future of Florida.
