Is it true, my northern brothers /sisters?

I hear that Ontario is opening spring black bear season for us nonresidents......

Is there any truth to that? If so, I'm ready for a spring bear hunt!!!!!

Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

Rodd

That is the word on the street.  Supposed to start in 2016 for 5 years then reevaluate.

It is proposed right now but should happen.  Link is from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

That would be something, I know I for one would do a hunt there in the spring.

I took a spring bear there in 1988 and was very disappointed when they suspended the season sometime after that.

I too would like to do another Ontario hunt.

Nice. I hunted there in 92, they closed a few years after.

Wow! Good news from a sad ass government!!

Anymore on a spring season?????  Getting close to May....  I can't find anything on the Ontario Ministry Dept except last year's season.


God Bless,

I keep hearing rumours about proposals!? But have not seen anything concrete in writing! A couple of my bear outfitter friends cancelled going to sportsman shows in the U SA  because they had nothing legislated and did not feel comfortable taking peoples deposit and then possibly have to Cancel .    :confused:

Harl's link says it's true!

Go get'em!

[Joeabowhunter]

It's OPEN and includes non-residents too.

Bet some real nice bears are going to be taken this spring ...
