Please stop the bear hunts period. This is absolutely ridiculous in this day in age Canada is using wildlife to increase its tourism and economy. We should be investing time money research and program into ecotourism.
I have land and we our building a house in an area where bear hunting happen literally across the street from where my house is being built. We have a large area of undeveloped land which is adjacent to crown land. One Thanksgiving weekend we were taking a walk on crown land and ran into the bear hunters. The hunters were down right Ryder and nasty with us almost openly threatening us. They told us to leave the area which we did. However the place they were hunting at although was on crown land across the road is a residential neighborhood with a house less the 400 meters away from the hunters. My land is about 600 meters from the land the hunters were on. We heard the gun shots quite clearly a day later when they got their bear.
The hunters were in a group herding the bear to the prepared killing area which the hunters had been smoking honey and had put out meat traps days before the hunt.
To me this isn't fair hunting this was a slaughter. Plus the fact it was happening in a residential area and where people hiked,rode ATV's and photograph of other wildlife like deer moose raccoons etc.
Please stop the bear hunts these bear hunters could care less about any rules or wildlife management or putting food on the table. They don't care what they shot at young bear old bear cub female with Cubs or people to scare them away. The hunters only care about killing and shooting.
