N. WISCONSIN - Bear hunters will be able to harvest more bears in Wisconsin this fall. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Board approved a six percent increase in the quota to 6,075 bears, after the state's bear population made a big comeback last year. The board also raised the number of licenses available by 14%, to just more than 13,000 licenses. Last year, hunters killed about 4,300 bears during the hunt, which is a 47% increase from the year before. A total of around 11,500 bear hunting licenses were awarded to hunters through a lottery system in last year's hunt. The state has around 23,000 bears.
