I do not agree with a spring hunt! How are the hunters able to tell the sex of a bear before it is shot? Just because there are no cubs seen, does not necessarily mean this is a male bear. The fall bear hunt should be more than sufficient.

What if the hunter kills a female bear by mistake? What is done regarding their cubs? Are any attempts made to find the cubs and are there rescues in Ontario that will take care of the cubs and release them back into the wild?

I do not feel there is any reason to have another hunt, especially in the spring.

Starting so early will affect the bears just getting out from hibernation. It puts them at a disadvantage, especially if they have cubs to look after. Please reconsider this idea.
