"Dr. Clark’s study was done in 2015, the final results came out in 2016."

Yes, FWC's "Ph.D Bear Expert" Clark approved the bear hunt BEFORE
getting the count data.

Perhaps someone could point out it is impossible to use a bear count to
be a factual basis to allow a hunt and kill 300+ bears if the study was
NOT yet available - no scientific data.

His count study title was very misleading - "a two-year study" which was
in fact two - one-year counts in different locations.

If you don't have at least a two-year (preferably three-year) study, you
get no data if the bear population is going down, up or the same -
useless to use as evidence to approve a hunt.

FWC knows this, but continues to push this falsehood that "we have too
many bears in Florida."
