I have bear hunted in Ontario since 2002 and the first six years or so I hunted with different outfitters and my problem is my work makes it hard to schedule and I am limited to six days and I like to spend more time in the woods than that so I bought land and have enjoyed the hunt ever since. I bought land, pay taxes, spend money, follow the rules so why pick on me? I would hope that if the rules are changed you would have the decency to have a grandfather clause included so people like me are not left out in the cold. If I sell my land you will probably change it back again in the future and then I can start all over again and I just got my wife believing what I did is a good thing... I doubt that there is a large number of non-residents buying land just to hunt bear so this must be somebody's personal agenda and pet peeve and I see no reason that I should have to pay the price. I bought the land to spend more time in the woods and enjoy your province, have met some great people and spend a lot of money at this hobby of mine. I doubt that my presence in your province is a problem, I would hope the you guys don't treat all outside investors this way, after all, your sign reads,,,,, "WELCOME TO ONTARIO". One more time, GRANDFATHER CLAUSE,,,!!!
