Congress chipping away at our retirement annuity

Steady, ever consider just a bow?

The 'bow' is the only option I have -- and with that the crossbow seems to offer the quickest kill (and the highest safety).

I was thinking that the only way you could be truly fair is to go head to head combat with the bear. But then I thought… the bear’s paws are mighty strong compared to that of a human, so in this instance, the bear is the fittest and the human stands no chance of surviving such a confrontation.
I pondered this some more and it came to mind that humans have a weapon that if used correctly is far superior to that of the bear. That weapon is the human brain. So I figured it would be totally acceptable if the human used his brain to create a weapon. However, the rifle and the crossbow are way too advanced and would not be fair to the bear.
To be perfectly fair, the human weapon would have to be as primitive as the bear’s paws.
I’ve come to the conclusion that in all fairness, you should use a spear that you yourself create from the fat of the land. How about a spear made with either a wooden or stone head? Or a poisoned blowdart. :laugh::laugh:

If you think hunting a bear should be a fair fight, then yes, it's time to check your medication levels.

How about that annuity?
