Accordingly, I decided on a plan| which I considered at the time was a golden mean. We would put the bear 'on the game list, and charge the U.S.! sportsman a license fee to hunt them. Unfortunately, my goo@ friend M Miner either distrusted my good faith | in the matter, or was not fully convincâ€" I ed that the bear had become the threat ' to our hoofed game that my reports to our government had represented as | being. Our views as to a suitable bear season also disagree. As an experiencâ€" | ed hunter, and as a close student of | wild life conditions whose actual years in the haunts of our big game approxiâ€" mate, to say the least, those of Mr' ,Mmex ‘s I once more affirm that our black bear cannot be hunted successâ€" i fully in the autumn months. From April up to midâ€"June is the only period in which they can be hunted successâ€" fully. Other provinces such as British Columbia and New Brunswick have found such spring hunting successful and profitable. It will bring much needed employment to our trappers and guides; it would create revenue for our‘ fish and game department; it would help, in a practical way, to reduce our | bear population. Last year Quebec paxd , over $32,000 in bounties for the slaughâ€" | 7 ter of her surplus ‘bears. Would Mr. Miner in his wellâ€"meant but misplaced zeal have Ontario brought to this? ' Living right amongst these trappers, I was asked to use any influence at my command to bring these facts to the notice of the government. For years, as it is well known, I had preachâ€" ed the gospel that our natural black bears are as valuable a natural resource to us as our moose. I pointed out that the large majority of the U.S. sportsâ€" lmen who passed through my camps preferred a bear to a moose as a trophy. They were prevented from shooting bears, however, as the bear shooting season was over long before the moose season opened. For our residents to continue killing off this int-srestir'g‘l animal and letting it lie to rot, as is a] common practice in the North Land toâ€" day, did not appeal to my business sense, to say nothing of the ethical angle of such a practice. To have our fish and game department pay out thousands of dollars annually for such destruction, as occurred last year in the province of Q@uebec, likewisée did not appeal to me. ‘ timber wolf, appeared upon the scene. This was our fastâ€"increasing black bear, increasing by leaps and bounds since their pelts, owing to the bad market conditions prevailing, are no longer sought by the trapper. In the past three years practically every trapper and fire ranger in the North Land comâ€"â€" ing in from their patrols have had thej same story to tell and the same sugâ€" gestion to make: The bears were beâ€" coming numerous and Gdestructive; the government should place a bounty on them before they got beyond control as the wolves had done. | About four years ago, following the disappearance of our grouse and rabâ€" bits from the North Land, another menace of our hoofed game, a menace more deadly even than the destructive timber wolf, appeared upon the scene. kill our deer. I agree with him in that view. Notwithstanding that more real romance has centred around the norâ€" thern timber wolf than around any other of our wild animals, Mr. Miner has, for several years back, sought to | arouse the Ontario government in a campaign for their extermination. Mr. Miner‘s reason for this is that wolves | Differs from Jack Miner on Bear Hunt The same delicious High Quality Steak you always enjoyed, butâ€" what a difference!
