I live in a hunting region - what a plan sounds like on paper and how it actually works in real life are two different things. Hoping that a hunter will have ethics and not shoot a female bear or even a small cub is idealistic.

I do not agree with implementing a full bear hunt. This is nothing more than a money grab for outfitters. The last thing we need in Northern Ontario is more trigger happy foreign hunters. Can you not leave well enough alone.
It encouraging to see the proposed changes to the Ontario Spring Bear Hunt. The permanent reinstatement of the spring hunt will infuse additional funds and once again ensure proper management of bear population.
Allowing the spring bear hunt to come back is disturbing! Letting hunters shoot a mother bear who survived a winter with cubs to be killed for sport makes me sick with anger towards the human race.

Fantastic proposed changes. Keeping the spring bear hunt will improve economic opportunities for northern communities and Ontarians with a sustainable form of regular recreation and food. It is a very unique opportunity in Ontario and cherished by bear hunters.

First of all it is a great move, that this government is listening! We have a healthy bear population in this province! We own 450 acres in Muskoka. We hunt moose and deer on this every year and have done so since 1958.

I am 100 % opposed to reinstating the spring bear hunt in Ontario. The economic advantages are negligible, as opposed to the real harm to our bear population and orphan cubs. It is cruel and totally unnecessary, as it is primarily a "trophy" hunt, as most people do not eat bear meat.

Ma priorité est la protection des animaux, des ours noirs dans ce cas-ci. Si cette proposition est ce qu’il y a de mieux qui peut être fait pour leur protection et leur survie, alors, qu’il en soit ainsi.

I don't agree to make it permanent. Why do we have to make money on killing wild animals? You want to promote tourism on killing beautiful wild animals just living their lives? Why can't Ontario be a leader in conservation and wildlife tourism? It might take more effort at first but we could do it.

I see too many possibilities for abuse especially if this is touted as a tourist venture. Our responsibility is to protect our natural resources of which bears play an important role. I not advocating not controlling the population but I do not advocate for a permanent hunting season.
