From everything I have read, there is no reason to open a bear hunting season. Sport hunters can get cameras and shoot bears that way. What you are proposing will upset the balance of nature in the name of a dying industry.

Compared to numbers prior to colonization, black bear numbers are in a dire state. I think it's important to consider a non-anthropocentric viewpoint on populations as they are constantly living in threatened situations as humans take up more and more land with industry and urbanization.

I am a trapper in the province and the return of the spring bear hunt is a positive move for resource management I travel all over the northeast and see bears through out the entire spring summer and fall. I believe this will only help outfitters.

I fully support the renewal of a spring bear hunt as proposed. If the population is able to sustain a spring hunt and the hunter surveys are analyzed properly I think it will be good for both the bears and the affected communities.

Bear numbers are too high and they compete with threatened and endangered species for habitat and for food. Responsible bear hunting will address this problem and help sustain healthy wildlife populations. Additional hunting discourages bear-human contact as bears will learn to avoid people.

As a person who has hunted for a number of years, I am opposed to a spring bear hunt. I recognize that the Bruce area bear population faces manage challenges from humans, and does not need any stress put on it.

There if absolutely no evidence that this project is reaching it's goals as there appears to be insufficient data to support it.
Although hunters are prohibited from shooting mothers with cubs, how is it possible to ensure that will not kill a mother who is separated from her cubs?

As a Canadian citizen and an Ontario resident, I disapprove of this proposal. While I understand that attracting tourism to Northern Ontario has economic benefits, there are other ways to achieve the same goal without having to kill bears (or any animal):
