I believe it is not wise to bring back the regular black bear hunt. The main reason is that the cubs are too young in the spring to travel with their mother when she is foraging for food which means the hunters are killing black bear mothers. Hunters cannot determine at a distance if a black bear is a male or a female, they'll assume that it's a female if no cubs are present but the cubs do not follow the mother in the spring, they'll stay behind up in a tree. This is devastating for the bear population with bear cubs being orphaned, doesn't the government and hunters want to make sure that the population stays healthy and that the cubs get a chance to grow into adulthood? The regular spring bear hunt should not return, but if sadly it does, the very least that the government can do is push back the hunting date to june 1 and not make it last more than a month.
