Step 3:
With almost no walking involved, guide puts tender footed city slicker on big scary bear.

Step 4:
City slicker shoots big scary bear (clean kill is optional)

Step 5
Guide mops up mess keeps mouth shut, many thousand of dollars involved.

Step 6
Take picture so that it makes big scary bear look even more bigger and scary.

Step 7
City slicker goes home, tells war story about big scary bear, if gun writer: writes three dozen worthless articles about how amazing all his gear is.

Step 8
Repeat.
