I am strongly in favour of continuing the spring bear hunt. I am also in favour of the May 1- June 15th season and the other regulations for cubs and females with cubs.

I am inclined to agree with the proposals for Bruce Peninsula as long a properly conducted surveys reveal that there is in fact a decline.

Updates : 1. Agree with this proposal
2. A bit reluctant on this one: if we have friends or persons not our immediate relatives
hunting bears on our land with our permission, is that considered 'Providing Bear
Hunting services' ? We have a camp on our land and we do give permission to some
people to hunt and stay there. We do not charge for this. My concern would be for people
who own property but do not hunt bears themselves giving permission to keep the bear
population in check which was our case. I am referring to residents of Ontario when I say
friends, people.
Additional comment: Bear sightings are not down in my experience, but probably reporting it is as MNR or OPP do not respond so people just stopped reporting it. Also, allowing a person to consume a nuisance bear rather than just throwing it away makes more sense.
