Doubling the hunting season for bears will only serve to further ecological damage, weaken biodiversity, and irreparably damage the local wildlife population. Bears serve an irreplaceable role in the environment and contribute to maintaining healthy prey populations. With the inherent decline in bear populations found with increased hunting prey populations will increase to nuisance levels. This will likely lead to more interactions with humans, and with larger prey animals like deer cause more auto accidents and more fatalities. The minimal revenue gain from additional hunting licenses will not offset the loss of life from overpopulation of prey animals and the environmental damage caused by the decline of an apes predator. This policies should not be enacted, and predator hunting should be extremely limited if not entirely eliminated.
