Call Made For The Return Of The Spring Bear Hunt

The Northwestern Ontario Sportsmen’s Alliance is calling for the return of the spring bear hunt.
Executive Director John Kaplanis says by bringing back the spring hunt, it would help the bears develop a greater fear of humans and not consider us as food. Kaplanis says since the spring hunt was scrapped, the region has seen a huge economic loss and cases of nuisance bear-related activity are on the rise.
NOSA believes the Ministry of Natural Resources and local politicans need to revisit the issue and look at having a black bear management season in the early months of spring.
