The DEEP has floated the idea for a bear hunt, similar to revenue-producing hunts in New England and most recently, New Jersey, where nearly 500 black bears were blasted by hunters.
Gov. Dannel Malloy, on WNPR in Hartford this morning: “I’m not anxious to be engaged in this. When and if this thing gets to me I’ll take a look at it.”
Legislation creating a bear hunt would have to go through the General Assembly.
