You can fulfill one of the Gold Medal requirements, just activate Dead Eye and shoot six times. The bear will run away, don’t bother to run behind the animal. Return to Hosey and he will give you a book with locations of all Legendary Animals.

Hosey will share the map and he will ask whether you are returning to the camp with him or stay there to track down the monster.
