Perhaps tours can be arranged, instead of 1 hunter they could take small groups, 10@$3000 each is the same as 1 @$30,000. Video is almost as good as a rug. Bears that die naturally could be sold for the hide although that could easily be abused.
You would think that the US would now have to get on the bandwagon of reducing the gases that are considered as part of the Global warming problem. (even though there is some dispute, if they 'officially' accept emissions as part of the problem they should take immediate steps to 'do their part'. I wouldn't hold my breath that it goes anything beyond a ban on extracting oil and gas products)
