Mississippi SB2436 mandates the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks to manage black bear hunting, including setting a hunting season starting in 2027-2028. The department must create and issue black bear harvest tags via a lottery system, with a reasonable fee for applications. Beginning with the 2027-2028 season, residents can apply for these tags, and nonresidents can apply starting in 2032-2033. One tag per season is reserved as the "Governor's Tag" for donation or auction to fund black bear conservation.
