No to spring bear hunt.
Most hunters are non-residents who hunt by baiting bears;
Many hunters at bait stations are unable to distinguish between male and female bears;
Female bears are killed, including nursing mothers;
Orphaned cubs – about five to six months old and typically weighing about five kilograms – starve to death or are killed by other predators;
Despite the threat of large fines, regulations prohibiting the killing of females accompanied by cubs are unenforceable.
