We strongly disagree with the spring bear hunt. My wife and I have camped and fished in the Timmins area for many years, we were both born and raised in Timmins. Since the spring bear hunt was reinstated the number of bears we see has dropped every year. Also, we have witnessed an alarming number of dead bear cubs as well as dead adult bears left to rot. For example 10 years ago we would see on average 4 to 6 bears (some with cubs) on a day trip - now we are lucky if we see 2 to 3 bears per year. MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING! The fall bear hunt is more than enough for the outfitters. Thank you.
