I oppose a spring bear hunt. Hunting seasons impinge on the rights of those of us who enjoy walking on crown land without fear of being shot. Hunters do not always follow the law and it is impossible to provide adequate manpower to police it. Read more

Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. While it’s currently against the law to kill cubs and mother bears accompanied by cubs, mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food. Read more

The spring bear hunt is cruel and idiotic. Hunting bears just out of winter sleep is not a food driven activity as the bears are lean and desperate. They do not provide a good food source. Hunters can not tell the difference between males and females reliably leading to many orphaned cubs. Read more

This situation sounds to high a risk for black bears and their cubs. I am against this decision to pass this law. Nature has its own way of dealing with its species without the poor decisions of government stepping in to allow some trophy hunters bragging rights. Let nature take its course. Read more

Absolutely opposed to the bear hunt! This is inhumane, unfair, unjust, and should never happen! Leave our wildlife alone and protecting them is the responsibility of our country, government, and citizens. They have as much right to be here as we do. Please do not pass this law.
