It is about time the M of E started to protect our natural resources rather than trying to get rid of them. We have the fall bear hunt which is OK, however in the spring and baiting hungry sleepy bears for the first 6 weeks of spring is ridicules.
Sows leave their cubs in trees and wander out to the bait thus being shot orphaning 2 to 3 cubs who will in turn die.
It is time you start to invest in a feeding program that would pick up road kill, freeze it and than take it to remote areas and air drop during the summer. This would keep bears away from easy food. The clear cutting of our forest, the hot drier summers, the spraying of power lines and mowing of side roads cutting the berry canes and the continue encroachment of humans on their territory is creating what the city people call nuisance bears.
This proposal is being driven by the Outfitters Association and greed. It is time you do your job and start thinking of ways to manage our limited resources.
mike Harris stopped the practice and Doug Ford needs to take a similar stand.
