We do have a fall bear hunt, and I believe that there are something like 8000 tags issued. These tags also start how many adult males, females and cubs can be killed at the time.

Not enough tags are issued. When the spring bear hunt was originally canceled the government increased the fall bear hunt tags issued by HALF of what they cancelled and so far have been unwilling to increase that amount. The animal rights activist groups (Mostly located in the south where there are NO bears because of human encroachment and hunting them out of their range a long time ago)are lobbying to cancel the Fall bear hunt as well. They don't understand the complete issue at hand or they dont seem to care, I personally can't figure out which one it is.

There are even programs in the area I grew up in, run by the Ministry of Natural Resources (government body again) to attempt to relocate some of these bears that hunt within city limits 1000's KM away, but these animals naturally wander far and wide in search of food. Most have been tracked returning to urban areas because they have learned that food is easier to obtain there.
