I applaud this reversal of the bear hunt regulations, it gives our family much more quality time in the outdoors with the opportunity of harvesting and consuming delicious drug free meat. I have known for years that a previous P.C. gov. stopped the hunt strictly for political gain. This is a practice that must be stopped when it comes to our natural resources ! Decisions must be based on sound management principles!
I live in the Wiarton area and cannot believe a shortened season is proposed, we have more bears now than ever with sow / cub sightings being a common thing. In my backyard there are two sows with 5 yearling cubs and a number of large boars that play football with garbage containers. These only represent confirmed sightings. Neighbours for miles around report the same thing.
There have never been any studies in this area and for that reason I cannot accept the shortened season. The real issue here is a total lack of MNRF people resulting in crystal ball management for our area.
I have been a Hunter Ed. instructor for 26 years and a hunter for almost 65 years , it is possible that I may have some knowledge and experience to draw on in order to comment!
