Shot a treed bear?
I’m no hunter so I’m speaking from a position of ignorance but is that an acceptable way to harvest a bear?
At the very least it sure doesn’t sound very sporting

One of the hunters shot the bear, and it struck Harvey as it fell.

It is common practice where hounds are allowed to pursue bears.

I always heard that when shooting bears out of trees you should get out of the way.

Got it thanks......just doesn’t sound like the animal has much of a chance to me

Shooting a treed bear is not sporting. Standing under a treed bear while your hunting party shoots at it is worthy of a Darwin Award.

I hunt venison and pork. 0 desire to hunt bear. I shoot from trees, not up into them...
Seems archaic.

Besides bruised up meat is not harvestable.

The Darwin Award will not be considered if the candidate has already shared his DNA. The son and daughter disqualifies him.

“I shoot from trees”
Which as I understand it comes with it’s own set of unique hazzards.
I worked around a guy in the early 2000s that hunted from a tree stand.
Dude fell on two separate occasions, 2nd time fractured his pelvis, couldn’t walk and laid out in the woods two days.
One of his hunting buddies told me he told him he should give up hunting and take up knitting. 😁
