So I ask you to prove that bears kill for fun... and you cite one instance of a bear who attacked once, with no supporting evidence to show that the bear had attacked in the past or had attacked unprovoked... and when I call you on it, you tell me I'm dense and huff off. Right.

Seriously though, you guys are fun! Enjoy sitting in a cozy circle nodding your heads at one another and agreeing. Kumbayah. Sorry I have an alternate viewpoint that I have supported...

Hiking the AT doesn't make you more knowledgeable about anything other than hiking your own hike on the AT, and it certainly doesn't make you more knowledgeable than anyone about grizzlies, since there are no grizzlies on the AT. If boosting that post count makes you happier about yourself, though, keep on keepin' on.
