I think the proposals make good sense to me -- I am a farm/woodlot owner in Lanark County near Ottawa -- we have bears on the property and in the area. I have not heard of any problems locally during the 5 years of the pilot extension period. Read more

I am in approval of making the spring bear hunt permanent , we live in a rural area with a lot of bear activity where there use to be little. I blame this on canceling the spring bear hunt, I have had my chickens and guineas coops broken into and the birds killed on 4 occasions . Read more

I don't think it is a wise decision to re-open spring bear hunt, as this will lead to orphaned cubs. There were enough good reasons to cancels the spring hunt years ago, and those good reasons should still stand to keep the cancelation valid.

Please approve the elimination of non resident land owners having bear license rights and approve the spring bear hunt indefinitely The approval of these x2 proposals will have a positive economic impact on under-served communities of NW Ontario.

Please stop bear hunting it’s not necessary as people don’t eat bear it’s an awful practise and babies die when their mothers are shot for their hide and claws etc Chinese come for sport and guides bait them it’s a disgusting sport. ✋

I would like to express my opposition to the changes proposed in ERO 019-1112 (black bear hunting) and ERO 019-0022 (black bear baiting). The annual spring bear hunt should be eliminated completely. There is no evidence that this hunt has reduced human/bear conflicts. Read more

I find it deeply disturbing that the current Minister of Natural Resources is pushing to make the spring bear hunt an annual ‘event’ to boost the economy and tourism in Northern Ontario. Isn’t the Minister of Natural Resources mandated to preserve our natural wildlife and not sell it off? Read more

We believe this proposal is long overdue. The issue of non licensed persons conducting bear hunts has always been a problem for the licensed outfitter. The outfitter has invested multi thousands of dollars in their business and needs to be respected as a commercial business. Read more

Hunting is a cruel and unnecessary sport that victimizes and exploits Canada's natural resources. Under no circumstance should the hunting of any bears be allowed especially in the spring when mother bears are just emerging from hibernation. Read more

The spring black bear hunt is unethical. It provides limited to no economic or environmental benefit. In the absence of a spring hunt, more bears are taken in the fall, with essentially equivalent demographic and economic consequences. Read more

I agree that this bear hunt should proceed as planned. Without a hunt there is no management of bear and as previous, the populations will get out of control again. Hunting is part of conservation and without it, we have no reason for any of our decisions. Read more
