Join Kristy Titus in this historic episode of Pursue the Wild as she travels to Louisiana to witness the state’s first regulated black bear season, a powerful symbol of one of America’s greatest wildlife recovery stories.
Follow the journey of young hunter Fisher Brown, the only youth to draw a bear tag, as he continues his family’s deep-rooted legacy in conservation. From den visits as a baby to harvesting his first bear, Fisher's story is a full-circle moment that highlights the vital role private landowners and hunter-conservationists play in sustainable wildlife management. And how SCI’s advocacy played a key role in securing a bear season.
Go behind the scenes with biologists and Safari Club International Foundation as they collect post-harvest biological data, conduct annual den checks, and share the science behind bear recovery and population management.
This episode is a celebration of patience, stewardship, and the connection between ethical hunting and conservation success.
