Reinstating spring bear…

Reinstating spring bear hunting will benefit only a small group of hunting/ bear tourism organizers and most likely negatively affect a bear population. In the attached research paper it is stated that hunters, in general, are not skilled enough to selectively harvest only male bears, therefore affecting females and young(s). No research was conducted that would provide a strong argument supporting the spring bear hunt. It is quite obvious that the spring hunt is shortsighted consideration only benefiting a very small group of hunters and outfitters. Please refrain from making a spring bear hunt reality.
