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.
The bold pretty much says you don't care about spring bear hunting in Canada and to think or suggest it doesn't affect America is wrong, but you just showed us, your never wrong.
I never once claimed to be right all the time, I'm rarely right, I'm here to learn, nothing more but when I see a blatant understatment like yours, how can I sit idley by, Dan showed you how wrong you are but Canada doesn't count right HCH, your never wrong, at least that's the way I read your posts.
Just because I have no desire to hunt ON in the spring as I have been there and done that, doesn't mean that this is going to affect America. Canadians don't hunt bear. If they want it open in the spring, I am sure it would be if hunters in Canada wanted it. The outfitters in ON need a good lobbyist it sounds like. Canadians weren't deprived of their right to hunt bears in the springas they don't hunt bears. Outfitters were deprived of their right to guide non resident hunters. I feel bad for the outfitters.I still have had no one show me or prove to me how the antis are going to match hunters' revenues, insurance companies, farmers, and property ownersrevenues to make me concerned about anti hunters and my right as a bowhunter orhunter.
