I am against the proposal to implement a regular spring black bear season because:
- there is no supporting scientific data provided in support of the need for a regular spring black bear season,
-the data collected by MNRF from the 2014 2 year pilot in 8 WMUs has not been made available for public review. How can the public be assured that the data supports the need for a regular spring hunt season when MNRF is hiding the data?
-the data collected by MNRF from the 2016 5-year extension of the 2014 pilot has not been made available for public review and is not even referred to in the proposal to implement a regular spring hunt. What is MNRF hiding? Did the hunt reduce nuisance bears as the 2016 proposal said it would?
I support the proposal to eliminate the fall hunt in the Bruce Peninsula and I believe that the spring hunt in the Bruce should be cancelled too until research shows that the bear population in the Bruce has addressed sustainability concerns.
