Under the Ontario Progressive Conservatives once more, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is proposing that the spring black bear hunting season be made permanent. I DO NOT BELIEVE that we should be hunting bears ever, much less in the spring when female bears are with their cubs. We lose the Mother bears, cubs are orphaned and all kinds of problems arise as then the cubs are not "taught" the ways of the wild, thus becoming "problem" bears looking for food anywhere there is easy access and where do you think that might be? Garbage dumps, campsites, town sites, where ever food is easy!
As for "bait" sites, I'm totally opposed. If you want to hunt, then hunt! You don't get to take the easy route and bait them in so you can shoot them with easy access.
As a Canadian citizen, I'm against hunting, but if you are going to hunt, then it's you against the wilderness, no ATV's, skidoos, baiting and the likes. Your rifle is already high-powered, that's enough.
