I am thoroughly opposed to perpetuating the spring bear hunt. Please confer with some of the wildlife rehab facilities and they will confirm that they are deluged with cubs as a result of this spring hunt.
Hunters will admit that they are not able to identify whether a bear is male or female from a distance as the females often move about without the cubs. I do not agree with hunting however a fall hunt would be far more reasonable as the cubs would stand a far better chance of survival.
How is it reasonable, when bear numbers are in decline on the Bruce Peninsula, to even have a bear hunt? If you truly want to stop the decline, stop the hunt.
