DNR Announces Bear Hunting Educational Webinar


The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced on Friday that they will be holding an educational hunting webinar for anyone interested in learning to hunt black bears in Wisconsin at 12 p.m. on July 12.

According to the release, the webinar, which will be held on the DNR’s YouTube page, will include information on bear biology and management, hunting rules and regulations and the most common techniques for hunting bears in Wisconsin.

“Wisconsin has a strong bear hunting tradition, and the opportunity generates a lot of interest from hunters,” said Bob Nack, DNR recruitment, retention and reactivation team supervisor. “Due to the high level of interest and permit wait times, many hunters don’t get the chance to gain a lot of bear hunting experience. This webinar will provide a basic understanding of what it takes to hunt Wisconsin black bears.”

After the DNR presentation is over, staff will give the audience an opportunity to ask questions. According to the release, the webinar will be recorded and available online following the program, as well.

Additionally, if you or your organization is interested in hosting a Learn to Hunt bear program, contact the Robert Nack from the DNR via email at RobertR.Nack@wisconsin.gov.
