Let's say your going into a bar with a big bad bully( let,say Mike Tyson for this thread) that is know for attacking people without cause..Would you go into that bar without backup?

These hunters new there were the big bad bears in the area and they chose to go without backup...No ones fault,there choice and I am sure they regret it...

This,it can't happen to me syndrome, kills way to many people anymore..Plan for the worst and go from there...
