If it is hunting season, and someone is in possession of a kill tag, the bear will be assessed. Bores are the main choice. Sows are rarely taken. Never if in attendance of cubs, which can be told even in the absence of the cubs themselves by whether she is being suckled. Usually a sow will only be taken if she is very old or is known to be a problem.
Serious hunters know much about the bear they are hunting.
If a bear is considered viable, the dogs will be leashed back from the tree for their own safety. A hunter will take aim with his weapon of choice, which can include a handgun or bow, and shoot. If all goes well, it will be a clean shot and the bear will drop from the tree. The hunter will make this as clean a kill as possible. No one wants a bear alive and wounded as he comes down.
