It is too destructive, to allow the hunt of any animal (vertebrate animal, especially mammal) during the season of the species' birthing and raising of its young. The risk of killing a mother -- however unintentionally -- during that season is simply too great. In the case of bears, it is inevitable that a spring hunt will lead to a large number of cubs' losing their mother, and then dying a miserable death, of either starvation or predation. Surely it is sufficient that hunters be permitted to kill bears during the autumn only. Spring is the wrong time for hunting this animal, period.
