I fully support the return of the full spring bear hunt. The hunt is a great way to increase hunter participation and success rate to help manage an abundant bear population.
I disagree with the proposal to force non-resident DIRECT relatives to use an outfitter. A good friend of mine hosts his father from Calgary for a hunt every year. He buys the expensive non-resident tag and comes to Ontario to hunt with his son. Since hunting with a licensed outfitter with a BMA would cost thousands, he will no longer be hunting with his son in Ontario if this change goes through. I don't think this is fair.
