The Peovince of Ontario (in it's infinite wisdom) cancelled Spring bear hunting some years ago. We try to mix in a bear hunt when we go for deer and moose now in the fall, but have not had success as we arent up at the camp to properly bait in advance of our getting there.

The area we have for hunting and the surrounding towns are now infested with problem bears and there isnt any sign of that slowing down if the Spring hunt ban remains in place.

A quick tale,,, we were sitting on the dock on a late July day ( having an ale or four) on Gull Lake when I looked over at the neighboring dock no more than 75 meteres away to see a sow and cub strolling along like they owned the place ... it was 2 in the afternoon and they may have been looking for some unattended sun screen. I whistled and yelled and all they did was look up and carry on, on their merry way.

If you ask the ministry,,, there's no bear problem though.
It keeps a great deal of conservation officers employed setting live traps and re locating them though.

Maybe we should try baiting with some 25 block cream in the fall.
