I live in northern Ontario were we have lots and lots of nusense bears , they wounder around and are getting closer and closer to living space. I support the return to spring bear hunt . It will keep the bears in check .
As a non-resident landowner, I have concerns regarding the proposed changes. Bear hunting in Ontario is one of the main reasons my husband and I purchased property and then built a family cabin.

We strongly disagree with the spring bear hunt. My wife and I have camped and fished in the Timmins area for many years, we were both born and raised in Timmins. Since the spring bear hunt was reinstated the number of bears we see has dropped every year.

please, please,please protect the mother bears who are nursing in the spring. We have people that see a bear and feel it is free game. How can these hunters know this bear is female and feeding young? She usually hides her offspring to go and feed so she can nourish herself to feed her babies.
