That was a trip down memory lane.

I think that by the time a stand up comedian reached that level of elaboration his audience would be staring at him open mouthed ... shortly before booing him off stage.

Even though Mark Twain said something like "the pun is the lowest form of humor," I tend to think puns come in various degrees. I like your sense of humor, TallyMan

Yes, for the joke to work he would need to go due south, then east then north and be back where he started. Or South, then west then north.
Doh yes......
There are reasons I get lost

No. The wording is only slightly off. The deduction is correct - that the bear is white. The elaboration, that the hunter was AT the north pole, is inaccurate. It should say that he was NEAR the north pole.
In fact, he was at any distance of the form A/2+B/((2n+1)π) from the pole, where A is the distance he travelled in a straight line after setting off due north, B is the distance he travelled always due eastwards and n is the number of times he passed his cabin before stopping.
You can also throw in a few circumnavigations of the globe, through both poles... but that would be rather unlikely.
This is true too. He's in the area
Still, I liked this riddle
