Florida black bears and Florida panthers continue to redefine daily life in Southwest Florida as Naples becomes one of the last coastal cities where rare wildlife and suburban routines blend in the same moment. Collier County sits at the gateway to the Western Everglades, a region shaped by dense slash pine forests, saw palmetto, freshwater marsh, and preserved habitat that supports some of the most iconic species in the state. Encounters with native wildlife are common throughout Golden Gate Es

The 2025 Florida Black Bear Hunt ended yesterday, December 28. A colleague with a trail cam on public lands in Southwest Florida (open to hunting this year) is now sharing captures of black bears again. The young cub is following his playful sibling, but stops suddenly in front of the camera when he catches an interesting scent (possibly from the camera or cameraman). That extraordinary nose will be his main tool for survival as he grows up - telling him more about his world than we can ever ima

Trail Camera Video: Black bear mama with her two really young cubs up in the Ocala National Forest. This was the first time I saw her bring these two little ones out and about. The mother bear located a hidden scent towel that Lisa had stowed away up under a log. She has a blast with this log as well. Scratching her itch and showing her children how the big bears do it. Later she gives a close up and uses my trail camera for a scratching post as well. What do bears eat in Florida? A Florida blac

The hunt will use a lottery system with 187 permits, limit hunters to one bear each, and ban killing cubs or females with cubs. Opponents call the hunt cruel and unnecessary, pointing to habitat loss as the real issue. Supporters say bear encounters are becom

'Heartbreaking': Mama black bear dies after being shot in Florida neighborhood

What a precious Florida Black Bear 😍 Right now there's a lot of controversy surrounding the FL black bear hunt. The last hunt, held 10 years ago, was a fiasco and, among other things, lactating mothers were slaughtered. This prompted great outrage and supposedly this time around no mothers with cubs and no bears under 100 lbs are to be taken. Unfortunately, FWC has not released any info on the current hunt. It's a total blackout on the progress. Many stakeholders, as in taxpayers, are demanding

Naples Florida continues to prove why it is one of the most unique places in the state. A peaceful morning walk on the beach can turn into a full wildlife encounter in seconds. Two black bear cubs running along the shoreline is not something most people expect to see on a Gulf Coast beach, yet Florida wildlife never follows the rules. Encounters like this are becoming more common as black bears in Florida explore new habitats, especially across Southwest Florida from Naples to Golden Gate Estate
