I think it is just called a bear. Kind of like how a female dog is
called a bitch, but a male is just called a dog. We have cow tags,
bull tags, buck tags, doe tags, but only bear tags. The bag limit is
described as one bear excluding cubs and sows with cubs. Interesting.
So what's a male squid called?  Just kidding...
