I would like to see the spring bear season extended from the closing date June 15th to June 30th. I have hunted bears on the Black Bay Peninsula Enhanced Management Area ( BBP EMAUnit 14). The area has no road access so marine travel is the only way to reach area that supports bear habitat within the EMA.

Unfortunately the ice on Lake Superior in Black Bay does not fully leave until the end of MAY, which leaves the opportunity for only a two week season to hunt bears on the Black Bay Peninsula EMA.

Could the OMNRF make a exception for Unit 14 that includes the BBP EMA portion of the unit and all the islands east of the the BBP EMA that are part of the unit and extend the season with a additional two weeks.
