Great Dismal Swamp Bear Hunt Ends In Shutout For Hunters

The Great Dismal Swamp proved to be too big an obstacle for hunters as no bears were taken during the hunt. Of course idiots who believe that bears have more rights than humans are happy and I even read comments from people saying that this proves there isn’t an overpopulation of bears because “even hunters” couldn’t find the bears.

Authorities will assess the hunt and make changes that will hopefully aid them in their management plans for black bear in the Swamp. Better luck next time bear hunters.
