The proposal to limit the hunting of Bruce Peninsula bears in order to help protect and preserve their population is welcomed by a significant portion of the wildlife enthusiasts, wildlife biologists and conservationists across Ontario.

In addition to that, the proposal to "eliminate special black bear hunting opportunities for non-resident landowners and non-resident immediate relatives", and the proposal to "require individuals or businesses to have a ‘Licence to Provide Black Bear Hunting Services’ to provide guiding services to residents within a Bear Management Area" are also great measure to bring fairness to these black bear hunting regulations.

However the proposal to further continue to allow the Spring bear hunt for additional years is going to continue to encourage hunting of bears in a season that they are supposed to thrive.

Thank you for your time.
