While I do not feel that…

While I do not feel that hunting is appropriate at all, if this must proceed, the spring season should be much later than May 1st to give the cubs a chance. It should not start until at least June. Then the hunting should be restricted to male bears only and not mothers with cubs. There should be increased enforcement and monitoring to prevent baiting and poaching. The use of dogs in the hunt should be prohibited. Perhaps the government should concentrate on eco tourism more and less on hunting as I think in the long run more money would be coming into the area through eco-tourism.
