The provincial government is being urged to bring back the spring bear
hunt.
The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters says its concerned with the
number of encounters that have been reported so far this spring.
Terry Quinney is a spokesperson for the OFAH and says they are
particularly concerned with reports about a couple of bear attacks in
central Ontario recently.
Quinney says the BearWise program operated by the Ministry of Natural
Resources has been a failure and has done nothing to deal with the
growing black bear population in the province.
