If the player stops for an extended period, or if it heavily snows, the tracks will disappear. The easiest way to track the bear is to follow the bear prints in the snow and the drops of blood. The bear will follow a path and must be shot to force it to continue retreating to the bear den. The bear cannot be killed so it is best to only shoot the bear when it has stopped at the designated locations. The bear will be directly outside the homestead and must be shot with the rifle immediately or else it will attack the player. The Trapper's Homestead will always contain one rifle cleaning kit inside.The player begins with a Hunting Rifle and 10 rounds of ammunition. The Old Bear can be heard outside banging on the door. The challenge begins right where Part One left off, with the player having entered the Trapper's Homestead and armed with the Bearkiller Rifle. The Challenge ends when the player confronts the bear at the den. The bear will stop at numerous locations and wait until the player is close enough to attack, where they must shoot the bear with the rifle so it will continue retreating to its den. During the challenge, the player chases the Old Bear throughout Mystery Lake.

The Hunted, Part One must be completed to unlock this challenge.
