I don't see why not but license fees, tag, firearms papers, etc are not included in the price.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Is this the first year back to Spring bear hunting in Ontario??

I can't remember when it was closed!?

 

[toxic111]

This would be the first year it reopened since they closed it in 1999....

 

[BRICKBURN]

That should make for some interesting hunting.

Bellero, shoot me a PM with the details, I live outside Ottawa, so the resident thing works for me ... I am in Ft Benning, Georgia this week, but will run this one by the finance minister when I get back

no non residents can hunt bear in Ontario in this first test spring hunt since the closure, only a handful of areas open, and I repeat NO NON RESIDENTS

Just hope they open more areas for bear hunting, where my property is we shot a couple of bears last year within a day of arriving. Be good to clean out some of them moose/deer eating machines

 

[bellero]

Sold. Thanks adgunner.

 

[dobber]

lets hope the hunt continues, and only grows the way it was before the hunt ban, lets see how much money and effort goes into this lawsuit where the antis are trying to stop it before it happens

Dobber, I have been following this in great detail, amazes me how a group can sue the government and put a stop to things, before the lawsuit is even heard. Currently the MNR states when i call them " go ahead and buy your license, and if the bear hunt does not proceed you can always go in the fall." Seems to me you should hear the court case before stopping the hunt. I think i will file a lawsuit against paying taxes and based on the logic above we shouldn't have to pay any taxes until they hear the lawsuit in court, right?

 

[dobber]

please don't use logic and government together, they just don't go together, oil and water has a better chance of blending

They cancelled the hunt due to the pressure from the antis, now its finally sort of coming back, except where there are higher populations of bears are and could stop due to the antis
I always suggested capturing the problem bears and shipping them to southern Ontario where the antis have the strong hold, see what happens when their cockadoodle or labradoodle gets eaten

When the next attack happens, property damage occurs that person or family need to take the government to court for failing to keep their community safe from threat, and likely an argument could be made that due to the governments actions, they in fact increased the chance of threat by stopping the spring bear hunt
The outfitters have to put in a civil lawsuit if it is stopped, they have put money out, for baits, new barrels, stands, fuel, well those areas that aren't still covered in snow

The MNR needs a revamp

 

[adgunner]

The court challenge was heard yesterday and the antis lost this fight and the hunt will proceed. Chalk one up for common sense ... it isn't often "common sense" wins one anymore.
