The bear hunting season is underway across Northwestern Ontario.
Outfitters stress the hunt is critical to control bear numbers and to
help the Northern economy.
Igance-area Camp Owner Clifford Long urges members of the public to use
extra caution when out in the bush.
n045 runs: 21 sec. out…out here.
Long says he’s already seen a high number of bears near the traps which
keeps the animals away from area neighbourhoods.
