As a resident of Northern…

As a resident of Northern Ontario I am in full support of a return of an annual spring bear hunt. With the inception of the trial hunt I have witnessed a significant drop in bears roaming the town looking for food. As an outdoors person I have noticed a change in bear behaviour. With a spring hunt in effect the bears have become afraid of human contact and will now run from a human or the sight of a vehicle. Before the implementation of the spring hunt bears were very bold and not afraid of humans.
This will benefit tourism and bring in much needed income to our region. The hunt will also improve the moose population due to predation on calves in the spring. I see no cons to the implementation of a spring bear hunt.

Thank You,

Ken from The North
