They took away the spring hunts and still have the fall. I am sure it hurt some economies in little towns up there. Mothers fresh out of the den with mommy possibly getting shot and leaving the cubs behind has a lot of sympathy from hunters too.I am speaking about America, not Canada.Canadiansrolled over and gave up their handgun rights too. I am not Canadian and can't answer why they do what they do up there. From what I have heard this about to be reversed because the ON bear pops are too high. To be honest, Canadians don't bear hunt and there may have not been enough pressure from Americans to keep the spring bear hunt open. I have bear hunted 7 times and only one was in the spring. Miserable hunt because of the black flies, ticks, and mosquitos. I would never hunt in the spring in ON if I could for bear.

I'll kinda jump off topic for a sec.....
The likelyhood of a sow with cubs getting killed is almost 0%. The cubs are usually the first to the bait or are next to the sow. It was purely sentimental and not factual. As far as hurting "some" economies "up there," it nearly put a lot of resorts out of business. Some people had to sell thier camps. Also, as far as the spring season coming back, don't hold your breath. I am a resort owner and bear guide and I would be shocked if it did come back.
Carry on.........
Thanks Dan, but it doesn't matter. According to HCH it doesn't count cause it's Canada, he doesn't care about Canada although he hunts it in the fall and PETA can't cross the border anyway. How dillusional is that? We should be very concerned that PETA accomplished this but HCH is never wrong, just ask him. [&:]
I have never stated that Canada doesn't matter anywhere in this post. I stated that I can't answer as I am not Canadian. Get your facts right if you are going to think your way is right all of the time.
