Better to not have a spring season if it comes with these stupid new rules. How many guys are willing to pay to use an Outfitter? as I feel this greatly decreases their odds of getting you on a bear. How many Outfitters will eventually raise their prices if they have to put out bait a lot more frequently??
These new rules will kill bear hunting.
Don't let them, we can't take a chance that these two could ever reproduce together!Quote:

This whole thing sickens me, as I can see where this is headed. What I'd like to know is what gives these ill informed idiots the logical reasoning to even think of imposing such stupid, useless restrictions that have no basis in scientific fact, let alone justify it somehow. These dummies know zilch about bear hunting in Ontario. Not that they care.
All this just leads me to believe that this is obviously a political decision headed the wrong way. What's next is the scariest part.
Cheers
This all reminds me of our laws on prostitution. The act itself isn't illegal,just everything around it. Not that I'd defend these two idiots,but,the decisions being made are from OMNRF bureaucrats. Those two mutts don't know shyte from shinola.
NOV 30 has come and gone! I wonder how long it's going to take before the NEW rules for the NEW spring season come about. I don't have a problem if there was some new rules pertaining to the spring season but they should just leave the fall season just the way it is.
Anything BLACK is LEGAL in the fall and always has been ... and yet our bear numbers are rising! 2nd seals were only offered in a few select units. Why second seals were not province wide a long time ago is a mystery! If they go through with these idiotic NEW rules it may be the last straw for a lot of guys. Fewer hunters is not the cure to our bear numbers!
Anyway I'm waiting to see what comes out of this. MY choices will be simple if these rules go through! I either give up after 30 yrs of bear hunting or start hunting illegally.
I always looked forward to retirement so I could hunt and fish my brains out! I finally get here and the good old MNR policy makers managed the moose into near extinction and now they're going to micromanage (ruin) the bear hunt.
Skeet,those are my sentiments,exactly. For me,I'm considering selling some gear and only keeping one small cal rifle,one big bore and 12 ga. and investing in a new boat....until they screw that up,too.Quote:

Even if there is no spring hunt, expect new regs for fall 2016.
I wonder what the outfitters take on these possible new regs is. Too me the 10kgs of bait is a big issue specially for outfitters. Outfitters who mainly deal with bears alone could be a big deciding factor in whether or not they stay in the business. Specially if they hold the same regs in the fall. A lot of extra fuel money with having to bait more often. Not too mention the hunt itself will change. Baiting when done properly you can have quite a few bears on the same bait so its entertaining. Enjoying watching the bears till a shooter comes in. With 10kgs of bait you'll be lucky to have 2 bears at the bait. Unless its a sow with cubs.
