Allowing the spring black…

Allowing the spring black bear hunt to happen would be absolutely appalling. Hunters are unable to tell from a distance whether a black bear is male or female and has cubs or not, so your so-called 'protections' for female and cubs are useless. I hope you will take this factor into account, particularly if you actually care about the survival of black bears as you say you do. Do not let the spring black bear hunt to start again.
