I believe the Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished.
If it is not abolished, It should only run from June 1 to June 30. Baiting with food should stop after June 30, and not begin again until September 1st, 2 weeks prior to the Fall hunt.
Baiting with food should be a minimum of 2 km from the nearest residence or residential area and garbage must be cleared after hunt.
The Fall hunt should begin September 15 and end October 30 throughout the Province.
I believe hunting with dogs should not be allowed.
Sow bears must be effectively protected during the spring and fall hunt.
The Ontario Government should hire more Conservation Officers.
Bears are mostly herbivores in the wild, and only occasionally prey on moose calves.
I believe the best way to reduce human/bear conflicts is to manage people by education regarding food waste and other attractants.

Thank you.
