Is bear baiting legal in Florida? Bear baiting is legal in nine states in the USA, but unfortunately, Florida is not one of them.

Regulated bear hunting in Florida began in the 1930s and continued until 1993. The FWC re-opened bear hunting in 2015, but the season has been closed since that time.

The only alternative is to plan a hunt in one of the listed legal states that allow bear-baiting. Links to these states and their official state gaming websites can be found here.
