Closed season for bear debated by New York sportsmen
A strong movement in New York favors a closed season for bears to protect dwindling Adirondack populations. Supporters cite rapid bear losses since three years ago, following the repeal of a bounty eight years prior. Opponents warn of mountain men and farm attacks, and note bears roam near clearings after autumn, with hunting as a challenging sport but little meat value.
