First of all it is a great move, that this government is listening! We have a healthy bear population in this province! We own 450 acres in Muskoka. We hunt moose and deer on this every year and have done so since 1958. We have seen a significant rise in the bear population sows with 3 cubs, 2 cubs you name it we have them. Last fall on one run we put out 5 bear, 2 went west 2 went east and 1 went south. To match / coincide that we seen no deer in 2 weeks of hunting. No tracks! The winters where hard but our biggest issue is we have an over abundance of predators! Wolf tracks and fresh cause it snowed on the second day of the hunt, bear tracks unlimited supply! We heard wolves/coyotes every night howling! Never seen or heard that before in my 45 years of hunting on this property! It just seems that the MNR goes out of their way to protect these predators! This so call Algonquin Wolf? It is a hybrid! But your inept biologists say it is, but every other biologist that looked at it says so! OFAH, says so as well! Most of the decisions being made by the MNR is made to com the crying of environmental activists! BUT this is a good move on the MNR only because the BG committee has been struck up by this government and I thank the premier for this!
