Thanks Art, you are right, it is the unwritten law of hunters to kill a bear that you have wounded so that it won't injure someone else. With bears, you usually weight for a bit before going after them hoping that the initial wound caused enough bleeding to either kill the bear or weaken him enough to diminish the danger. That's a pretty common technique even deer hunting. Not sure what all of the details are, but simply a tragic event as you said pretty much outside of the intents of the Federal regulation changes to the ESA.
