I guess if bears had horror movies we would be the monsters.
Exactly my thought. We are the monsters.
Interesting read on the history of the suit. The actual purpose is not bear hunting, and is unknown.

Did it work?
Obviously not, everyone who wore it is dead now
The bears from then too though.
I think it's a stalemate.
It's all fun and games until the bear pulls off a boot.
Parry this you fucking casual.

I guess the technique was to just run up and Hug the bear to death. Probably where the phrase "bear hug" came from 😂
Armourer: "What kind of plate do you have in mind?"
"Do you know morning stars?"
"Say no more, fam."
Hey it's Pinhead from Slipknot!
Is that like Pinhead from Hellraiser?
Is there anything you couldn't hunt with that?
