That bear was toast anyway. He likely would have had a worse death of starvation. The guys a hero.

"Just because one sees does not mean they comprehend."
Agreed.
"I read the book and saw the doc. In no way did he treat bears like dogs. Had he, he would not have been able to live among them in close proximity for so many years. The fact that he died seems to have been due to carelessness on his part. A race car driver who drives for years may in a moment of lost concentration die in a crash. But do we mock him? "
Well, I should have said he treated them like >1 ton dogs without any manners. He reminded me a lot of the dog whisperer, just because of how he used body language to assert himself among the bears. Sorry if the reference there was too obscure. I wouldn't mock the dude, he didn't do anything I wouldn't have if I were in his position.
"I'd like to see you do anything with your life on a level to compare. "
Woah there are levels on how well we live? What level can I be on if I don't do anything that involves immediate danger? If I go fight bears until I die, what level will I be? 10? 12?

You are a one on a scale of one to ten. 
Many cameramen who film and take pics of Grizzly Bears have to know proper behavior to be around these bears. In a close encounter body language can save your life.

I missed Icey when he was gone, and know I am not so sure as I didn't realize the content of this forum could decline any further.
