James Goudie is the Wildlife Manager for Nunatsiavut.

He says a total of 6 polar bears can be taken from Fish Cove Point in Gros Water Bay to Cape Chidley.

Goudie says this includes towns from Rigolet, Postville, Makkovik, and Hopedale, hunters are allowed one bear for each community.

And in Nain two polar bears are allowed to be taken.

He says the bag limit is one polar bear of either sex, except that female bears accompanied by cubs may not be taken.

Nor will the bears be taken in a den and active dens shall not be disturbed in any way, which includes polar bears equipped with radio transmitters or collars.

We'll have more information from Goudie about polar bears on a national scale this week.
