Attention NC residents please attend the NCWRC's meeting taking place tonight at 6:30 PM.
"The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission will discuss the Commission’s recent proposed changes that would allow hunting on three western bear sanctuaries at a meeting on April 5, at 6:30 p.m. at Tri-County Community College in the McSwain Building Lecture Hall. The rule change would permit limited bear hunting beginning in fall 2022 in sanctuaries in the Pisgah National Forest, Standing Indian, and the Panthertown area in the Nantahala National Forest. NC Wildlife officials indicate they support the rule change. The meeting is open to the public for residents who are interested in attending."

Call the NCWRC Commissioners ahead of tonight's meeting and tell them to reverse their decision that changes "designated bear sanctuaries to "designated bear management areas" and allows bear hunting and hunting with dogs in the Pisgah, Panthertown-Bonas Defeat, and Standing Indian Bear Sanctuaries. You can provide feedback even if you are not an NC resident. If you visit NC or have family who lives there, mention it to the commissioners.
