That depends if the bow shot itself spooks them or not. If the bear you shoot drops on the spot and is far away enough from the other bears (20m+ I think?) they probably will not spook or run. If you shoot a bear with a bow and it runs away or if you drop a bear while it's standing close to another bear, that will spook all animals in the immediate area and they'll start to run away (I say run, but black and brown bears only run a short distance then start trotting away if they're not shot themselves so follow up shots are possible with firearms).kidrock1211 wrote:If there are let us say 3 bears at your bear feeder and you shoot one with a bow will the other 2 runoff?
If there are 3 bears and you shoot 1, even if it drops on the spot and the others aren't spooked, you still trigger the feeder penalty. The feeder will immediately stop attracting bears at it's maximum power for a short time. So all the other bears nearby that aren't spooked will likely start to slowly wander off anyway.
