As a hunter I support the proposed changes to Black Bear hunting on the Bruce Peninsula. Sightings south of the Peninsula are increasing so with careful management a healthy population could be established. I don't think it is worth the risk hunting this fragile population at this time.

This spring bear hunt should be abolished, at least until safeguards are put in place to protect mothers and their nursing Cubs. Some of these safeguards should be obvious, such as banning the use for dogs hunting, as well as moving further ahead the date for the beginning of the hunt. Read more

Keeping the spring black bear season is a positive move for wildlife management and economic development in Ontario. This is a tool that should be used the same as all other game seasons, to pragmatically address wildlife population control while making the most of a valuable natural resource. Read more

I do not support this proposal. Mother bears are in danger and further, their cubs. If the mother bear is killed then the baby cubs will not have the benefit of being raised to a point where they can safely operate and live in their habitat. Read more

I just read that the Ford government is considering reinstating a spring black bear hunt. I disagree very strongly with this proposal. Spring is when Black Bears females have their cubs. I also read it is illegal to shoot a female Black Bear but it is often difficult to tell the Read more
