Ray, I'm sure that every animal and every situation is different but - if you can imagine a wounded, angry, vindictive animal nearly the size and tenacity of a buffalo, almost as quick as a cat, hiding in brush as dense as anything found along the Zambezi - then you'll have a good idea of what following a wounded bear is like.
It's not pretty and it's not fun and is why when a hunter tells me not to shoot their animal I tell them I have no intention of shooting their animal but if they do it poorly then it becomes my problem and I will shoot if I deem it necessary.
