Personally I am totally against killing wildlife of any kind for fun but having said that I understand that some species need to be held in check.
My concern about a spring hunt is when a mama bear leaves her cubs and goes looking for food and somebody shoots her. Now there are cubs that are going to starve to death because they have not learned how to hunt as yet. I have over the years read of instances when some one has come across starving cubs and these are put down, which is heart breaking, as they did not get a chance in life through no fault of their own.
Taking all that in account Ontario already has a long fall bear hunting season and that should be sufficient to please those that enjoy taking life for fun.
Personally, I think the spring hunt should be cancelled altogether.
And that is my comment.
