The new proposal for hunting…

The new proposal for hunting bears in 82,83,and 84 has not been thought through very well in my eyes. Im not sure where you gather your info for the population but I have been hunting the Pennisula for 15 years and many years the bears are hardly out of their dens hitting baits by the 7th of May. If you use the mandatory reports for the last 2 seasons I have not seen a bear but our trail camseras tell a whole different story. We have had as many as 8-12 different bears hit our bait over the course of the season but don’t see any during our hunts. So the population is not hurting but it may seem like that from mandatory reports when a simple question about trail camera photos may open up your eyes a lot. Hope this actually gets read and is taken into consideration before you do something drastic.
