Wasn’t this bear tken with bow and arrow?
My parish priest travels out west every year and he was telling me about when he was visiting a national park, and the ranger asked him if he would come with him because a bear had killed two people.
He went with him and apparently the people were taking photos of the bear and its cub.
The ranger had to go and kill the bear,
He told my priest that the way to take down a brown bear was to shoot and take out its shoulder. The bear will then bleed out.
I will check on the details however. I think you can do a search on largest bear killed and get the photo and article.
