edit: fur bearers may be exempt but I'm not sure if bears qualify and too lazy to look it up.

You don't have to pack the carcass out, did you read the article? Bear are not hunted for their gamey, wormy, awful tasting meat, that is why you can lave the carcass behind.
Again bear hunting is not for the meat, it is for the skin. In fact you HAVE to leave parts behind including the gull bladder. This is not about what Stoner did, as he did exactly what most do who get drawn for Grizzly.
As for wildlife management, I'm sure they have plenty of research to back up their numbers as to how tags are allocated, this is in BC.
In AB tags are just handed out to who has the most money.
In regards to the Suffield elk, I've seen elk right off of Hi Way 1 just east of Redcliff, the middle of the prairie.
