Howdy,

Writing a short story about something unrelated to hunting, but in the story I want to discuss the dilemma of taking down a bear which the hunters did not know had cubs with her.

Is this far fetched? Does it happen? If it happens that a hunter bags a bear with cubs, what does the hunter do in reality? Do you put the cubs down?

As honest and detailed of an answer would be helpful for my short.

Thanks so much,
-J
