As a land owner on the Bruce Peninsula I have seen a decrease in the bear population. I also feel there were too many when we first bought our place. They still show up constantly on my trail cameras so I’m not sure the population is low. I do hunt but have not harvested any on my property. Read more

Bears are keystone species that is the indicator of a healthy eco system. It is also an umbrella species that provide habitat improvements to other wildlife. It is a myth that hunting can sustain a healthy population. Bears already self regulate its population and its reproductive rate is low. Read more

Bears and all animals are sentient beings. They are intelligent and feel pain and fear just as we do. We (humans) use every justification for killing animals. There are too many of them, they are dangerous and/or a nuisance ... those are all descriptions that are accurate for the human race. Read more

I’m from a small town in Northern Ontario where everyone loves hunting and fishing but I do still believe the spring bear hunt is a horrible idea considering many cubs are going to be left orphaned and vulnerable and that can extremely impact the population of the black bear. Read more

Can we please pause for a moment and ask why the humans of this world are so intent on wiping out our wildlife? Bear hunting at anytime is barbaric but in the spring when they are awakening from hibernation, and having cubs it is akin to shooting fish in a barrel. Please leave them alone.

In the 2019 hunting season I regret not getting a beer tag for spring or fall. I saw two different Sows; one with two cubs and another one with just one cub, and I saw a big Bore 400-450lbs.) on my property in Lions Head, Ontario. Please DO NOT shorten the Bear season!

I am absolutely against a spring bear hunt. We should be reducing the slaughtering of innocent animals where and when baby cubs are born. Hunters do not know what they are shooting. Our spring visits to northern Ontario are often disturbed by noisy gunshots. Leave it in the fall. Read more
