Please do not eliminate…

Please do not eliminate special black bear hunting opportunities for non-resident immediate relatives. We are dairy farmers in northern Ontario. The current set up allows my non-resident dad to take my sons bear hunting on our own farm. Without this special opportunity, it would be cost prohibitive for him to do so, leaving my sons without an opportunity to learn to hunt, and to grow into outdoorsmen themselves. I realize that this proposal is intended to increase fairness, however moving rights to hunting to the tourism industry only and away from families and landowners is not fair. Please reconsider this proposal and its impacts on families.
