Will do.
Prayers and best wishes to your friend.
Do you know if he was carrying a sidearm?
Prayers sent. Sorry your friend had to learn such a lesson the hard way.
A wounded bear at night presents a real quandary. The law won’t allow a bow hunter to be armed in most places so maybe the best thing to do is contact the game warden and let him make the call. I tracked a wounded bear at night one time, but we were all armed to the teeth with 12 gauges full of slugs and enough spotlights to light it up like daylight. We kept together in a bunch watching each others backs. Luckily all we found was a dead bear.
