This is a disaster that just gives more ammunition to the anti hunters out there.
I'm not going to judge "long range" hunting, but if you are going to take a long shot, in heavy wind, with a target that does not give you a good clean shot (or the best chance at a clean shot) for Pete's sake WAIT for a more ethical shot.
I know some will say "$#!t happens" but in many cases, including this one, it all started with a bad decision in taking a questionable shot. Poor bear did not deserve that.
And it just got worse and worse after that - at some point there was no other outcome, other than the disaster that ensued.
Such a shame.
