>>I'm more of the judge Roy Bean mentality when it comes to fighting. If the other side wants a "fair" fight, they should go somewhere else. We are way ahead, because we sit atop the food chain. Don't forget, we are the only animal that blushes, or needs to....

Sure, but that's just self-defense. Stalking the bear with the intention of killing it from a distance so it doesn't have a fighting chance is a different thing altogether.
