Please do not bring back the black bear spring hunt. It is very difficult for a hunter to distinguish between a female or male bear. When the mother is killed the cubs will be orphaned and ultimately starve to death.
I have connections to Manitoulin Island and I can tell you that it has been 3years since I last seen a black bear in our area of the island.
Please do not kill the bears in the spring as they are just coming out of hibernation and do not have enough body weight to even protect themselves.
When humans interfere with nature ultimately there is an imbalance. The cubs need a chance and that chance is to stop the spring bear hunt.
