Please do not implement a spring Black Bear hunt. The timing of the hunt is ill conceived since it can leave cubs orphaned. It is very difficult for hunters to tell the difference between female and male black bears at a distance and it may only be after they kill the bear that they discover that they have killed a mother bear . Please consider the cruelty that will result if mother black bears are accidentally killed, leaving cubs to starve to death. This spring hunt proposal is irresponsible and leaves too much to chance.
