The spring bear hunt needs to continue as a control for black bears. Last time it was cancelled the population went out of control and impacted the moose and deer population. Bear baits are a source of food for bears in early spring and they will never be all shot from hunting. Read more

Allowing the spring black bear hunt to happen would be absolutely appalling. Hunters are unable to tell from a distance whether a black bear is male or female and has cubs or not, so your so-called 'protections' for female and cubs are useless. Read more

I fully support the full return of the spring bear hunt. I have been driving up from southern Ontario to participate in the spring hunt every year since the first pilot project years, 2014. Every year my group spends a significant amount of money in Northern communities during this hunt. Read more

I strongly disagree with reinstating the spring bear hunt. I've guided Non resident hunters that were hunting bear in the spring, I know that it's illegal to shoot a bear with cubs, but some non-resident hunters do not wait to see if the bear coming into bait has cubs or not. Read more

Best scenario. Spring Bear Hunt should be abolished, however if hunt is too continue, changes must be made. -It should last 30 days, June 1 to June 30. -Baiting must stop after June 30 not to begin again until September 1st, or 2 weeks prior to fall hunt. Read more

A spring bear hunt would be unfair to the cubs which will inevitably be left to fend for themselves at too early of an age. This is not a sensible strategy for management and would only encourage non hunters to feel increased animosity towards all hunters.
