There are renewed calls to bring back the spring bear hunt in Ontario.
Terry Quinney of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters says the demise of the hunt ten years ago has resulted in big increases in the number of bears.
"To minimize the risk to people and maximize the benefits of this wildlife resource for Ontario society, the Ontario government needs to reinstate the spring bear hunt," says Quinney
Quinney says the province's so-called BearWise program has done little to control an expanding black bear population.
