As a hunter I support the proposed changes to Black Bear hunting on the Bruce Peninsula.
Sightings south of the Peninsula are increasing so with careful management a healthy population could be established. I don't think it is worth the risk hunting this fragile population at this time.
This spring bear hunt should be abolished, at least until safeguards are put in place to protect mothers and their nursing Cubs. Some of these safeguards should be obvious, such as banning the use for dogs hunting, as well as moving further ahead the date for the beginning of the hunt.

I have been supporting bear sanctuaries for many years. I am not rich but I cannot ignore helpless bear cubs left orphaned by ""hunters"" using TRICKS AND HIGH-POWERED SCOPES. It's MURDER.
I am against this cruel treatment towards bears in Ontario.
Years ago it was revoked and now, once again, the subject is being "revisited".
Shame on you, leave the bears alone.
Any hunting should be strictly limited to the fall so as to limit the number of orphaned baby animals.

Keeping the spring black bear season is a positive move for wildlife management and economic development in Ontario. This is a tool that should be used the same as all other game seasons, to pragmatically address wildlife population control while making the most of a valuable natural resource.

I do not support this proposal. Mother bears are in danger and further, their cubs. If the mother bear is killed then the baby cubs will not have the benefit of being raised to a point where they can safely operate and live in their habitat.

As a resident of Northern Bruce Peninsula, I do not support a spring bear hunt , except in the case of First Nations treaty rights. They should be protected, not "harvested".
I just read that the Ford government is considering reinstating a spring black bear hunt.
I disagree very strongly with this proposal. Spring is when Black Bears females have their
cubs. I also read it is illegal to shoot a female Black Bear but it is often difficult to tell the
