Having again hunted Spring Bear for the past 4 seasons and will do so again this year, I feel it imperative to return the Spring Bear Hunt to permanent status once again. This Spring hunt not only provides thousands of man hours of recreation for young and old alike, but just as importantly brings in millions of dollars to small Northern communities and outfitters alike. It is a fallacy that Mother Bears and Cubs are at great risk at that time of year as in fact one can relatively establish a Boar from a Sow, as well, cubs of the year are always close to their Mother. It is also a known fact, that Boars, looking to breed a Sow at that time of year, will kill the cubs to do so and kill far more cubs than any other factor!
