Best scenario is Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished. However if hunt is too continue, changes must be made. It should last 30 days, June 1 to June 30. Baiting must stop after June 30 not to begin again until September 1st, 2 weeks prior to fall hunt. Read more

Good morning. The Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished. To me, baiting is cheating. It seems to me that the bear hunt would exist to please hunters, and that's all. It's unconscionable to hunt animals who are just waking up from hibernation, too. Read more

Please stop the bear hunt. There will be so many orphaned cubs! And there are not too many bears so please leave our wildlife alone. It's bad enough you allowed the slaughter of deers at Shorthills in St. Catharines again last year. LEAVE THE BEARS ALONE!!

The black bear population in Ontario is substantial, sustained, harvestable, problematic and ubiquitous. They are a hazard to motorists, a nuisance at waste management facilities, a significant moose calf predator and can become dangerously aggressive when they loose their fear of man. Read more

I am writing you requesting that the spring bear hunt be cancelled. Bears are born in January. When the spring comes the mother bear hides her cubs in the trees while she looks for food for herself to fatten up. Bear cubs are still nursing at that time. Read more

I am strongly opposed to bringing back the black bear hunt and vehemently advocate against it. The spring season is when black bear mother's and their cubs emerge from their dens - if we allow the killing of the mothers, what will happen to their cubs? Will they be killed as well? Read more
