Wildlife authorities say James Louis Ryan tried to bait bears using two honey buns, a chocolate éclair, a doughnut, a fish filet and a piece of cherry pie.

Ryan received a citation for hunting bear within 100 yards of bait, a practice banned by hunt rules.

Authorities say Ryan admitted to hunting bear but told them he didn’t know the hunt had ended in central Florida after the first day. He received a warning for hunting a day after the season had ended.

He received one of the two misdemeanor citations issued during the bear hunt, Florida’s first in more than two decades.
