If the hunt is being reinstated as a means to reduce human-bear conflict, release the results from the pilot project!!
There is no feasible way to enforce the hunting regulations, and mother bears can be shot with no repercussions for the shooter - unacceptable. This leaves cubs starving and vulnerable.
Further, baiting bears encourages them and conditions them to human presence, something that will only serve to INCREASE the conflict you say you are trying to minimize.
There is absolutely no good reason to reinstate this hunt. Do NOT do this.
