MNR's biggest mistake ever…

MNR's biggest mistake ever committed was the elimination of the spring black bear hunt. This is for reasons. Most people know it was done for political reasons and secondly, the damage done to by way of depredation of deer and to property. I live south of the 401 east of hwy 35/115 and have seen bears and bear damage to 2 of my properties. The MNR claims low deer populations but some how in the MNR's wisdom the spring bear hunt was illuminated. Between coyotes and black bears, low whitetail fawn populations have been responsible for very restricted whitetail deer tags and very low recreational viewing of deer. To make things worse, the MNR have not been doing any kind of deer counts for over 40 years. Instead, the MNR have been relying on hunter reports. How stupid is that? So the MNR have poorly managed our whitetail populations in all directions for nearly half a century. Is this a good way to waste our tax dollars?
Grow up MNR, put your big boy pants on and ignore politics. Do what is good for wildlife and complete the balance of life. Civilization has destroyed wildlife habitat and it is the responsibility of the MNR to be a good steward, not bend to political pressure!
