Spot & Stalk Black Bear Hunting Strategies
It was the middle of May. My wife, Heather, had done a perfect stalk on an average-sized cinnamon phase bear early in the afternoon. A wonderful trophy in its own right, she was still hoping to fill her second Alberta bear tag on a big old black. With a little luck and some good strategy we hoped to accomplish this all in the same day. In turn, we invested the next several hours scouring the countryside in search of a bigger bruin. Her cinnamon was taken at just 60 yards on a small patch of lush clover, the only one we could locate for several miles in either direction. Read more...

The main reason is you don't want to jump a beded animal that has been hit. Blood dries up and adrenaline takes over and they can get lost in a hurry.
Better to let them lay a little longer then to lose them.
