As a tourist bear outfitter…

As a tourist bear outfitter for the last 13 years and member of the Northeastern Ontario Bear Management Association, it has become a concerned of the future of our business. As mentioned when Doug Ford was elected that Ontario was open for business but with the limited amount of form 33’s being given, the lack of ability to obtain dominant adjacent BMA’s and consistently being told “no” for every request from the Ministry of Natural Resources, that is the total opposite of what was promised. Our bear population is strong and growing and shouldn’t be limited by anti hunting groups or by a barb wire hair traps that were originally used to track grizzlies populations out west that doesn’t accurately determine the actual populations here.
