Hunting black bears [spring or fall] is barbaric!
Cowardly hunters hide in trees until a bear comes looking for bait - there is no possible way to differentiate a male from a female.
Orphaned cubs will not survive in the wild, as the mother bear cares for them for at least a year.
We have lived for 30 years on a rural property which borders the local dump - families of bears cross our property in spring, summer, and fall. We have never been threatened by them.
May I suggest that 'bear outfitters' create a sport which would enable some hunters to dress in bear outfits while others wait in trees for them to find the bait [Timbits] on the ground. This would take place in designated areas, they could use paintball guns, and the Province of Ontario could charge big dollars for the experience!
Please consider this.
