From what I've read there will be a list of WMA's open to bear hunting as long as it is a BMU listed. It's hard to believe that they sold over 1400 permits in the first 3 days. Does anyone care to take dibs on how many bears will be killed during the week of hunting, (legally)

Ok, I wasn't very clear with that. What I meant was there are no specific "Bear hunting" quotas. And many of the WMAs, including Ocala where I would hunt don't require a quota to hunt at all. In other words there "is no limit on hunters" for that area. And with something as exiting as the new bear season I'm predicting very high numbers of hunters in the woods on the first day. I just value my life more than a bear. The only time a quota comes in to play here is if you have one for a Deer hunt on a WMA that is listed, then you can buy your Bear stamp and ad bear to your "Legal to take game" for that hunt. Here is a link to the areas you could hunt with a quota and without.
