"Ooh, we know this one in great detail. Lewis and Clark kept detailed records of their experiences with bears including information provided to them by Native Americans about bears.
Basically they would hunt bear in two ways either they would use a large party of 8-10 men and try to attack where they could retreat to trees. Grizzlies don't climb trees so they could fire arrows at the bear while in the relative safety of the tree.
The other method was on the plains using horses they would circle around the bear shooting him with arrows until the bear died.
Lots of great stories about bear in the journals. Try a search for "bear" and you'll find plenty of information."
