“Bear hunting is not a spur-of-the-moment activity. If you are in the woods and see a bear, and then decide, ‘I am hunting bear,’ you are at a distinct disadvantage. You probably won’t have the proper equipment at hand. It is another matter altogether if a bear suddenly sees you and decides, ‘I am hunting people.’ Bears are born with the proper equipment to hunt you. If the bear initiates the hunt, you cannot then decide, ‘I am hunting bear.’ At that point you are not hunting. You are screwed.”
