Likely a grey area up for interpretation.
You’re not supposed to skin a bear, take the meat and leave the hide there on the ground. But not everybody who kills a bear wants to keep having hides tanned or mounted.
I’m going to use the hide..... but I’m sure someone wouldn’t like it.
And the private land bears shot all over the province have no restrictions so no grey area there.
I’m willing to bet a few hundred bear hides a year are frozen until no longer useable then end up in a landfill.
