How will you ensure that hunters get proper training to be able to distinguish between a male and female bear? If a female bear is unaccompanied, and is mistaken for a male bear and killed — there is a great chance that the cubs will not survive. This will contribute to the human-caused mortality we are aiming to avoid.
While I appreciate that the hunting season is being shortened, I have great concerns that hunting of black bears is still allowed. How can we support sustainability of this genetically isolated population if we allow them to be hunted at all?
