I am not in favor of having…

I am not in favor of having to use a "Guide Service" to hunt black bear as a non-resident landowner. Your proposal talks about "fairness". What is fair about limiting a landowner rights on his own land? The business owner has to compete, though there is not a flood of landowners stealing business from guides. A guide is not going to get my business. We come to Ontario to spend time with family, and hunt on our property. We come several times a year. The current set-up allow us flexibility to come up for a couple days and relax in the woods. This proposal forces us to set everything up with a guide, and limits that flexibility. We'll end up coming up less, spending less dollars in your area. This proposal will not gain more business for the local guide services...I'll start hunting elsewhere. Not only will Ontario not get our license fees, but the bear management will also stop in our area.
As I've hunted in the past, and come back home to share stories and pictures to friends and family, they have asked to come hunt bear as well, and I've referred them to local guides and they've gone. If I stop hunting black bear in Ontario, no more stories, no more references.
This is a bad idea, and what's worse is that the non-resident landowners have little to no voice on this, we have no voting rights in Ontario, and even hearing about this proposal will be difficult for most. What we do have is dollars though, and I guarantee I will spend less dollars in Ontario if this proposal passes. And if that is the case, what good would come out of it. The local guides didn't get any more hunters, and Ontario loses out on my license fees, my gun fees, and my local spending, supporting local gas stations, general stores, merchant shops, etc.
