Some of the outfitters that charge for the second bear do so for the same reason that some deer outfitters charge for a second deer.That reason being to prevent a hunter from shooting a second bear or deer just to fill the second tag.If you are going to pay for the second tag you are more likely to hold out for a trophy animal instead of the next reasonable animal that comes along.As well,some of the outfitters charging for the second bear offer their basic bear hunt for a lower price.Many outfitters charge more up front instead of charging for a second bear.
