The armor now resides at a museum called the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. The museum consists of collected artifacts and the private art of the Menil family.

Interesting read on the history of the suit. The actual purpose is not bear hunting, and is unknown.

I guess if bears had horror movies we would be the monsters.

I guess the technique was to just run up and Hug the bear to death. Probably where the phrase "bear hug" came from ๐Ÿ˜‚
