The proposal to eliminate special black bear hunting opportunities for non-resident landowners and non-resident immediate relatives is completely preposterous. Forcing ANY landowner to submit to a government regulated bear guide on their own property is tyranny.

Please do not open bear hunting season in spring. This will cause more suffering. Cubs will die because Their well-being will not be taken into proper consideration.
Please do not go through with this. Mother bears will be killed if this gets passed. We need to be protecting our wildlife at all costs. Wildlife is already declining at a fast rate due to climate change. Canada has been known for protecting it's country and it's beautiful wildlife.

please do not allow a spring bear hunt. This is a cruel practice that will leave many starving orphan cubs. It is not necessary for the well being of Ontarians. Shame on you if you allow this barbaric practice for political gain
I just wish to state my disappointment in the decision to re-establish a spring bear hunt. I have friends who are hunters and even they do not see the need for a spring hunt in addition to the fall hunt.

I just want to state that the proposal to eliminate special black bear hunting opportunities for non-resident landowners and their relatives is a bad idea.

This is simply outrageous. Do not allow this to continue, stop the hunt. I am embarrassed that Canada is even considering reinstating the Spring black bear hunt in Ontario. All lives are worth protecting and one day what we are taking for granted will not be here anymore.

I am a non-resident landowner in Northern Ontario. I am also a Canadian citizen living abroad. I have held property in Canada for over thirty years and my family has owned this land for decades before that. I know the lay of my land better than any guide service can provide me.

Please do not reinstate this Bear Hunt! We need our wild creatures because they are part of the whole ecosystem and we will be less without them. Every time we step in and cull, we upset the balance maintained by nature. The system is perfect as is, and should not be tampered with.
Since mother bears will sometimes be away from their cubs for a short time, there is a strong chance that a number of mothers may be shot and killed leaving cubs without mothers.

I oppose the spring black bear hunt. Studies show that hunters cannot conclusively deem if they are targeting a nursing mother or not. Too many cubs are orphaned.
The spring bear hunt proposal does not work in the real world where science has shown us that hunters do a very poor job of identifying nursing females. Bear hunting is a brutal and unnecessary activity. Government regulated hunting does not work and should be banned outright.
I fully agree with the return of the spring bear hunt but do not agree with the requirements for a non resident to have a registered guide
My brother likes to come back home from Alberta and hunt with me at my hunt camp. Why should he have to pay a guide and hunt somewhere else?

I sincerely urge you to end the spring bear hunt.
There is nothing virtuous about taking joy in killing an animal minding their own business. In fact, it is a barbaric practice!
