He wasn't my "buddy." Like I said, just a guy I ran into in the Capitol Forest, last year when I was hunting bears with the special permit I drew. I wasn't very happy to see hound hunters up there chasing the same bears I was hunting. But that's what he told me, that they kill the bear and have to leave it, not sure why he would lie. It seemed odd to me at the time that the law required them to leave the bear in the woods. BTW, the only reason they were up in Capitol Forest is they (supposedly) had started chasing the bear on private land, where the landowner had a serious problem with tree damage.
