I fully SUPPORT the return of the spring bear hunt in all areas of Ontario. This will help to reduce the over crowding of bear territory and maintain a population of healthier bears as less population results in more food per bear and should assist in reducing nuisance bear sightings in towns. It will bring back economic benefit to the outfitters & areas. I have no problem with bear tags being "draw" based like deer & moose to enable the Gov't to control the number of bears harvested in specific WMUs, and include bear in the mandatory reporting feature recently implemented for turkey, deer & moose (sorry, perhaps bear is already is included). Hunters are enviromentalists that understand its their responsibility to protect the forest & animals for future years & generations. Enviromentalists that want to eliminate hunting altogether do not understand the implications of such a mindset. Nature is harsh, they would not want to see the natural result of such a policy, regardless of the species. Hunting is important to conservation and preservation. Thank you for listening and considering my opinion.
