I am pleased to see the extension of the spring bear past 2020 . I think that non resident property owner bear hunters is less of an issue in Northeastern Ontario than it is in Northwestern Ontario .I think non resident property owners should enjoy some benefits as a tax payer of Ontario . I would suggest that non resident property owners and there immediate family be allowed to hunt without using the services of a outfitter but would be required to pay a higher licence fee than a resident hunter .

I have no problem having people who take in or guide resident hunters being required to have a licence as long as these licenses are affordable and readily available. The bear management area system needs to be examined once in awhile to make sure they are still being used or not being bought up by certain operators . I think this also applies to trap lines and bait management areas .
