I support the proposal to implement a regular spring bear season. This is a very logical proposal to address both black bear population management directions while contributing greatly to Northern Ontario's economy and wildlife special purpose fund.

I have been a property owner for 16 years-paying road taxes and property taxes the whole time. I have planted food plots to not only help myself and my boys during the hunting seasons, but to also supplement wildlife throughout the year.

Cater to American tourists who have learned to shoot with something that takes real talent. A Camera. Say no to killing innocent animas for the sake of some blood thirsty neanderthal's primitive ego rush.
I think a spring bear hunt is a terrible idea.
I have not seen a bear in a few years and I am wondering how many are really left to shoot.
If you need the food that badly......sell your gun.
Nature lover.
I feel that there is no reason to hold a spring hunting season. The females have their cubs and need to be protected at this time. The hunters don't seem to see the cubs, or just ignore them. It seems the cubs are killed if found by rangers and not rehabilitated.

Are you serious. There should not be any bear hunting Spring, Fall anytime. Slaughter for sport is never okay. Whats wrong with you. I find this disgusting and shameful. Shame of anyone thinking about this.Shame on you
I am very disappointed to hear about the proposed changes that would disallow non-Ontario resident landowners from hunting bear without an Ontario Outfitter.

I am completely opposed to the spring bear hunt. We need apex predators. What we do not need is more hunting. The bear hunt is cruel. It is not sport.

It is hard to believe that Ontario government wants non-resident land owners to go through an outfitter to hunt their own property they purchased and pay taxes on and pay nonresident black bear tags. This is a complete outrage there is no fairness whatsoever.
Bear hunts are barbaric! When hunters shoot bears, they don’t even have the poor excuse that the animals will be used for food. Killing any animal for entertainment should be outlawed.

Why would you punish non-residents with this change? Do you believe that the majority of non-resident property owners are bear hunters? The answer should be no.

I assume that it is inevitable that you will proceed with this proposal after a trial period, but I think my comments are relevant either way.

We need to offer more protection for bears, not kill them. We are infringing in their space and they are just trying to exist. The answer is not to kill them, but update regulations and standards so we can all coexist. Killing bears is the lazy and cruel solution. We can do better.
Why does our MNR work against the average hunter and fisherman? This is clearly a concern of Ontario Outfitters. Probably the American owned greedy ones. I AM COMPLETELY AGAINST ANY CHANGES THAT ALLOW FAMILY MEMBERS TO HUNT WITH FAMILY!!!!!!!

In today's world of Human population growing in staggering numbers we are taking up more and more natural habitat for all wildlife to exist - our wildlife is suffering because of this plus other issues at the hand of humans. We have to co-exist with all animals for it is their land too!
