This isn't like taking the bison hunt away for a year or two. Some people use the term Charismatic Megafauna or Calendar Animal to refer to the "special species". The non-hunting and anti-hunting portion of society puts a higher value on Bears, Wolves and Cougars than they do on Caribou or Moose. BC cancelling the Griz hunt because of people feelings despite biologists findings is a prime (and scary) example of that.
It will be hard to get the hunt back in AB but the populations will continue to increase so who knows.
