(MNN)-Interest in Wisconsin bear hunting reaches record numbers. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says more than 32,000 people applied for just over 13,000 available bear licenses for this hunting season, which started Wednesday and runs through October 7. Another 114,000 people purchased a preference point to improve their chances of drawing a license in a future lottery. Those totals set a new record for bear hunting applications in the state. The DNR says Wisconsin has a bear population of around 24,000, and that number is growing. More information on, and regulations for, bear hunting can be found on the DNR website.
