just make sure your bear is dead before you go lookin for him. don't make the same mistake a guy near me did a few years ago and walk into a thicket and get attacked by a wounded 500lb plus bear. he shot it in the neck and followed ,he wasn't dead and it took 3 more muzzleloader shots to kill it after it tore him to pieces. i think he went thru 14 operations after that attack.
he doesn't hunt bear much these days.
