Your right Nova Scotia doesn't have a spring bear hunt.We hunt only fall bears.And the bag limit is only one bear.I see it like this the fall baers are bigger and have been feeding at the baits sites for amonth.We start baiting 30 days before the season opens so there are really hitting good by the time we get to hunt em.
Why would it be a hurdle?Give hunters achance to save there money over the summer,when living is alittle cheaper.Spring is the worst time for me and money.lol Spend it through the winter on extra power and heat and thing's like this.
