How long do you think until we have a season? I'm thinking in the next decade.

You’ll probably see a bobcat season before bear season…. Plus I’d say that a bear season would be met by a full frontal assault by the tree huggers…

We saw bears in the late 80s/early 90s while dirt biking just north of Nelsonville. That is 30+ years and they sent out of control yet. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on a season
Most of the bears seen in Ohio are young males from PA and WV looking for new territory. Not enough females for serious population growth.
