Bringing back the spring bear hunt is obviously damaging to ecosystems and biodiversity. The spring is a time when many animals (particularly hibernating animals) need to be protected, as they are particularly vulnerable.

Prohibit the spring bear hunting. Spring hunting is cruel and irresponsible leading to the decline of black bears population, that is already weak. Bear cubs would be orphaned since they aren't always in the sight right next to the momma bear, letting the hunter know what they're dealing with.

im writing in regards to the proposed changes to bear hunting..
I agree with the proposed changes in making this a long term thing..
however
my question is in regards to outfitting... I live in an area with no bear management zone.
I currently wish to outfit on my own private land.

I am completely opposed to changing hunting regulations.
Please do not allow hunters to kill adult bears - who more than likely have cubs who they are providing for and will likely die as a result of this action.
I do not have faith that a hunter will consider whether a bear may have cubs.

Bear cubs will continue to be orphaned if the hunt becomes permanent. While it’s currently against the law to kill cubs and mother bears accompanied by cubs, mother bears often leave their cubs in trees when searching for food.

I am opposed to any hunting and trapping of bears. I would hope that in this civilized society, there is no need for trophies. If there are safety concerns, deal with human behaviour. People need to be more careful with barbecues, campsites,-anything that would attract bears.
Hunting bears doesn’t improve human safety. Stopping human-bear conflict is achieved by removing access to garbage, barbeques, and other attractants.

Killing bears in the spring should remain illegal. It is cruel to exploit animals when they are at their most vulnerable - hungry and looking for food to sustain their cubs after long hibernation.

In an era when all wild animals are in precipitous decline, and useable habitat for wildlife is rapidly being degraded by de-forestation and other industrial exploitation; any claim of a Bear overpopulation is clearly the result of human over population and land exploitation.
