As a current Black Bear outfitter who has been in business for 40 years, I fully support the change in distance from 200 M to 30M.
Through years of outfitting, I have ran in to many situations and problems where long distance for travel can be detrimental to my clients, and this can present problems whether it being due to health, or just plain safety in terms of animals. By having closer access for me to bring my hunters out at night or put in in the morning, I will not have to worry about my clients hurting themselves or having issues.
This will also allow for some of my clients who had hard times walking, the chance to come back and experience the hunt where they would prefer instead of having to travel to another Province.
And this will also allow for me to better utilize my time as an outfitter in concentrating on my hunts more with the access to the extra time I will have.
Please think of the Local economies, the family ran businesses in the Northern and Central areas, the Clients and the employees when making this change.
Let's see the distance brought down to 30M!!
