I' ll let you know as soon as I find out, I can' t imagine the situation hasn' t come up before. It will probably depend on who we talk to, I' ll see if I can get a couple of opinions.

Alrighty then, went down to the local fish and game and told the story to the nice lady, I was hoping to get more than one opinion, but this is what she said...
First fire a warning shot, then, if you still feel threatened, and the bear hasn' t run away, it is ok to shoot it, of course at this time I reminded her I was hunting with bow only, so there wasn' t gonna be a warning shot. Then I asked what to do afterward, she said to leave it there and call the fish and game department immediately and explain the situation. Guess I' ll be carrying a pistol very soon on all my bowhunts.
