I am 100% pro hunting. But this is absurd, unsafe, and will only cause potential injury to bears and humans alike by means of traffic accidents, and stray fire. If anything it should be increased. If you can't travel 200m from your car or ATV to get to your unsportsmanlike bait, STAY AT HOME. Read more

I object. There are many people who do not want to see the bear harmed. The hunting and recreational uses take place in the bears natural home. I am concerned as to the proposed changes and do not agree with them. We need to protect our animals and all Read more

I object, the wilderness of Ontario is used by many who prefer not to cause damage. The bears are not dangerous, hiking, and recreating near where bear hunting happens is dangerous. Ontario better not allow this change to take place.

Do not change the distance from 200 to 30. It is dangerous to have high powered guns that close to public trails. If a hunter can’t walk in 200 m to set bait then he shouldn’t be hunting. I object to this plan completely.

I live in black bear country and am supportive of hunting but I disagree that this change should be made. Decreasing the limit will increase traffic accidents with wildlife and possible firearms-related incidents with people hunting closer to roads. Read more

I object with the changes to the set back regulations. The wilderness of Ontario is used by many who prefer not to cause damage, myself included. The bears are not dangerous, I live in a rural area and have never had a bad or dangerous encounter with bears (or wildlife in general). Read more

I support OMNR change to reduce the minimum distance for bait placement from a Right of way for public vehicular traffic and marked recreational trails from 200 meters to 30 meters. This change will make the sport safer and provide additional hunting opportunities to the handicap and aging hunters. Read more
