Vermont has reported a record bear season in 2020, with hunters taking 914 bears as the sport’s popularity surges amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It was a bad year to be a bear in New Hampshire. Hunters in the Granite State had a very good season last year, setting a new record for the 2020 bear harvest, officials reported.

It wasn’t a good year to be a deer in Arkansas.

Game wardens with KDWPT first learned of the tangled deer last Thursday, after a concerned bowhunter in Jackson County alerted the department of their “unfortunate entanglement,” the wardens wrote on Facebook.

A couple of concerned kids in Florida are being credited with helping to save the life of an injured bald eagle they found wrapped in a fishing line, with a fishing hook pierced through its beak.
