The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters are advocating the restoration of a spring bear hunt to target boar (male) bears. This is in response to several attacks on humans. Boar bears become more predatory as they get older and agressive to humans, sows and her cubs. Trapping and relocating bears usually results in bears returning.
The hunt generates about $40 million in revenue for rural communities through licences and outfitting.
