It's sad to see that this hunt has to be validated by opinions (most of which likely come from in-experienced or un-educated people).

Fact of the matter, this hunt should have never been cancelled in the first place. I've been respectfully and responsibly hunting black bears in the spring during the last 5 years of this pilot project. Last year alone I hunted with a partner, spotting and stalking black bears. We hunted for 5 days and saw 34 adult bears, that's not counting the Cubs we saw.

Please continue to manage our resources based on science and facts rather than the obnoxious emotions of people from the urban southern portion of our province who have likely never even laid eyes on a bear before.

It's very frustrating when the bear population numbers have never been so high, yet a sustainable and manageable harvest is being debated.

For the health of our ecosystem alone, please support a full reinstatement of the spring black bear hunt.
