Abstract
We provide recommendations to the Ontario government in response to their proposal to implement a regular spring black bear hunt, which comes only three years after the initiation of a five-year pilot project to assess black bear harvest sustainability. We recommend that the implementation of a regular hunt be postponed at least until the pilot project ends in 2021, and the data and results of the project can finish being collected and analyzed.
