Default Bear Hunts in Canada ... Question?

I have done some research on bear hunts in Canada and have come across something I would like to share with you guys to get your opinion. I have checked with several outfitters and most want to charge you a flat fee for a bear hunt where you are allowed to take one bear. The thing that I find questionable is that then most want to offer you a SECOND bear for a trophy fee of $500.00 or MORE which brings me to my qusetion. The way I understand the purchase of a bear tag is that when the tag is purchased in a "Two" bear zone that the tag bought by the outfitter allows the tag holder to harvest two bears not just one and if that is the case how can the outfitter sell that tag to a hunter as a "One" bear tag and then charge him ANOTHER $500.00 for a second bear? I want to make it clear that not ALL outfitters do it this way some allow you the two bears without a "trophy" fee but MOST of the outfitters I have talked with do want to charge you for that second bear. I know the simple answere is just to find an outfitter who allows you to take the two for one price BUT it seems to me some of the outfitters are trying to double charge you ... have anu of you guys come across this and if so what is your opinion?
