The "Healing Bear Bug" may have returned...

[Thrasador]

Hello,

As I am relatively new, I did not know that at some point in the past there was a time where if you shot a bear and went indoors the bear would never bleed out and die.

I have seen some evidence to indicate this bug may have returned.

I was watching a video on the Mutha (blanking)RickShow where he shot a bear....there was blood...but he never got the kill in his log after sleeping and the bear didn't die...

He calls them "iron bears."

I am pretty sure if you shoot a bear and the shot hits, the bear is supposed to bleed to death and die. He was using a rifle.

So if this was a bug in the past....the same bug may have returned and should be investigated....

It hasn't so much 'returned' as 'never left'.

There are (fortunately) rare circumstances that can result in animals (not just bears) not dying if you enter a building after shooting them. I've had it happen with a deer and a wolf.

Swellzies....

And not so rare last time I checked.  All it takes is spending more than one real-world minute in the other location before returning.  Fully repeatable...

Wow...really?

Have people reported it?

How long has it been going on then?
