I totally agree that the black bear spring bear hunt proposed changes are required and should be implemented.
I am a trapper and have seen the increased pressure in the forest due to the closure of the spring bear hunt.

My trail cameras have also shown a lot more bear activity in my area and for the first time in over forty years of trapping, I had bears take beaver that were in my traps last fall.
