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.
I appreciate your outlook on this topic but I think the point I was trying to make is that if your hunting fee includes the bear tag then the tag actually belongs to you NOT the outfitter and if it done then why should you have to pay a second fee to the outfitter for the second bear? I understand that some of the outfitters use this to keep some hunters from shooting "smaller" bears BUT I am not sure that it is NOT just a way for them to make more money on a tage that YOU have already paid for. I am not trying to start a stink here ...just asking opinions .....
