@therealoutdoors: Big news for Florida hunters. SCI and multiple hunting organizations are reporting that the legal challenge to the 2025 Florida black bear hunt has been dismissed with prejudice. It’s over for good. Bear Warriors United sued to challenge FWC’s authority to approve and manage the hunt. Safari Club International stepped in alongside FWC to defend it in court. The court confirmed what hunters have known all along — managing wildlife in Florida, including hunting, is FWC’s constitutional responsibility. Not the courts. Not activist groups. This wasn’t just about bears. It was about whether science-based wildlife management could withstand a legal challenge designed to gut FWC’s authority entirely. It held up. That matters for every hunt in this state going forward. #floridahunting #bearhunt #florida #hunting #wildlife
