i am a hunter and one day i got my hunting license so i could hunt by myself, and the second day of hunting by myself i was stalking a deer and had given up and when i turn around there was a bear, and when it saw me move it wasnt happy. this bear is about 3 foot tall and about 7 feet away from me, it is possibly a male bear scavenging for food, but anyway, the bear looked at me and trotted towards me and i could hear a faint growl so i shot it with a .50 caliber muzzle loader rifle so i only have one shot(not 50 bmg) i hit it and it ran ran off some where and i never found it. even considering almost getting mauled by a bear i felt bad and guilty for it not being and instant death with no pain and instead have the bear suffer...........but f**k it kill or be killed
