As far as how much meat you should get from a bear, I have no clue since I've never even seen a live bear that wasn't in a zoo. But as for your friend, that's a little odd. Obviously you're not very good friends or he would believe what' you told him. I'm trying to imagine myself in that situation with my friends... They may doubt me if there was reason to doubt, but I don't think they'd ever call me out on the issue, and it definitely wouldn't end our friendship. Good luck with your friend- good ones are hard to come by! And congrats on the bear, no matter how big or little it was.
