And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Yup. Bears die just like everything else. Its not what your using its a lot more about putting your bullet where it counts. Before hunting wild hogs, everyone talked how hard to kill and how dangerous and aggressive they can be. Sure they are that and hardy critters, but I think a lot of these tales of danger has much more to do with poor shot placement than all else. And I say that from a life of first hand experience. All critters die easily if you shoot them right, common sense hunting.

A good reminder that fundamentally, humans are apex predators only when we go in packs.
