I have owned property in Ontario for 12 years ,Have not used the privilege as a property owner to hunt black bear. I bought the land for deer hunting ,But since 2012 the deer all but disappeared.I have thought about bear hunting as a way to get my sons interested in the property as there names were put on the deed for this reason. Hunting on our own land in no way puts us in competition with hunting guides as they can not hunt on my land and I don`t need to hunt on crown land where they would be ! The spring bear hunt will be a huge success for Canadian guides.I ask you not to take this privilege away from property owner as it is one of the only benefits we have other than paying taxes. Reason not to change landowner law.............A bear hunter will come up for 1 week,spend money only to the guide camp....I come up 6 to 8 times a year spend my money in town at Lumber yard,gas station ,bait shops,Canadian tire,places to eat,equipment rental,hire local contractors to build my driveway and bought hundreds of yards of fill to make improvements to my land.No one was paying taxes on this vacant land before I bought it ,Now my taxes help the local schools and roads. A compromise would be to let landowners to still hunt on there land and not on crown land.
Thank you Randy M
