Best scenario. Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished, however if hunt is too continue, changes must be made. It should last 30 days, June 1 to June 30. Baiting must stop after June 30 not to begin again until September 1st, 2 weeks prior to fall hunt. Baiting should be a minimum of 2 km from the nearest residence or residential area and garbage must be cleared after hunt. Fall hunt should begin September 15 and end October 30 throughout Province. Hunting with dogs should be banned. Females with cubs must be “truly” protected during the spring hunt and the fall hunt. The Ontario Government needs to hire more people for enforcement, this province needs more Conservation Officers. Bears do occasionally prey on moose calves, not common. Best way to reduce human/bear conflicts is to manage people by making them manage their waste.
