Summary
Eva Shockey said on “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” that she hunts bears mainly for overpopulation control and conservation, framing it as a wildlife-management tool rather than a trophy pursuit.
Shockey said biologists in her father’s area set sustainable bear numbers and determine how many can be hunted to protect broader wildlife populations.
She added that bears can damage crops, overeat local resources and move too close to residential neighborhoods, making hunting part of reducing human-wildlife conflict.
Shockey said bear meat is edible and often used in sausage, but she prefers elk and typically donates bear meat to locals instead of keeping it.
