Hey at least you took him bear hunting and he does have a story about an encounter with a bear.  Too bad he didn't get him but doesn't sound like the bear is hurt too bad and will be just fine.  SO as an optimist it was a fun hunt.  Better than not seeing a bear at all.  Good for you for taking him hunting!!

It's always a tough deal to lose a wounded animal.  You did your best to recover the bear but it they are not hit with a fatal shot, they could go many miles.  My brother and I searched for an hour before finding it 40 yards from my stand.  That's what thick brush, high ferns and ground cover can do.  Sorry you didn't get it.

Yes, it can be quite exhilarating for sure.  So much so, I hope I don't see another one until next year.
