Bear Season here looks like May 1 - June 15 and again Aug.15 – Oct.31..
Bait placement
During the spring and fall black bear seasons, bait may not be placed for the purpose of bear hunting:
within 500 metres of a dwelling, unless written permission is obtained from the owner of the dwelling
within 500 metres of a public building
within 30 metres of a right of way for public vehicular traffic or a sign posted/marked recreational trail that is established and maintained by an organization for the general public
the third point is important to us as trail maintainers and users... we do not want to be accidentally shot or have to deal with hungry/wounded/both bears.
