Your Welcome !
"But many also called on the province to expand the hunt to cover more of northern Ontario and to allow hunters from outside the province to get licenses as well."

Northern Ontario cities and towns have overwhelmingly said yes to the return of the spring bear hunt.

Nearly 50 municipal councils have passed motions saying they wish to be included in the pilot project, announced in November.

But many also called on the province to expand the hunt to cover more of northern Ontario and to allow hunters from outside the province to get licenses as well.

But Natural Resources Minister David Orazietti said, unlike other hunting seasons, this is not about tourism.

"The issue that we focused on in proposing the pilot was public safety, not profit,” he said.

Orazietti added he's not surprised by the support for the new spring bear hunt.

The bear hunt will only be allowed in certain areas this spring, mostly around the region's five major cities.

But he said that — and to whom the bear hunt is available — could change after this first season.

"We're calling it a pilot for simply that reason. We need to know whether or not this will work."

Kapuskasing council called for more of the town to be included. Currently only a small corner of the municipality will be open to hunters.

But Mayor Al Spacek added he's happy that, 15 years after the spring hunt was cancelled, Queen's Park seems to be listening to the north.

"Any step is a good one,” he said. “I think it's just one that warrants more conversation with the government about expanding the program."

As for whether this mean fewer bears wandering into Kapuskasing, Spacek says he'll reserve comment on that until after the hunt ends in June.

The specifics of the province's plan to bring back the spring bear hunt will soon be posted on the Environmental Registry website for public comment.

The first shot of the season is expected in May.

Listen to the first recording !

He says if they don't get the results there looking for,, They could expand to more hunters, Americans!

Shane your killing me bud!

We did the pilot and it showed little effect soooooooo,,,,,,
Were now opening a spring hunt which will include non resident hunters and open the rest of northern Ontario to help alleviate bear issues in the north .

You guys just don't see the forest for the trees !
Again Shane,,,, It has nothing to do with bear wise ?

"Generally, the pilot will be assessed in a number of ways, including: tracking the number and type of calls to the Bear Wise reporting line from the pilot area and other communities, to compare results; monitoring the number of bear hunters and the number of bears harvested; working with the pilot municipalities to identify changing trends in human-bear encounters, and; working with municipalities to explore ways to limit human-bear interactions such as tracking the number of municipal by-laws to discourage the feeding of bears.

Ray the mnr and government know what the problem is and what will fix it . They dont have to monitor anything. the solution is very simple , reinstate the spring bear hunt to he way it always was before it was cancelled.

"working with municipalities to explore ways to limit human-bear interactions such as tracking the number of municipal by-laws to discourage the feeding of bears. " this statement is a joke

its all smoke and mirrors Ray , they dont need to study anything to determine the solution
