Females with cubs must be protected. At the very least, the hunt should begin June 1, rather than May 1 as proposed, so the cubs have a better chance of survival if their mother is killed. The fall season, which was extended to compensate for the spring season cancellation, should be adjusted back to its original dates.

Enforcement capability must be increased to ensure the rules are followed.

Hunting dogs should not be allowed to chase and harass bears.

Baiting is really cheating for anyone that considers this a sport.

A study should be done on the impact of a spring bear hunt on other people's safety and freedom to explore, as bear hunters make up a very small percentage of people enjoying the outdoors in Ontario.
