I agree wholeheartedly. From the reading I've done on the "historical grizzly" he was a much more aggressive beast before the invention of the breech-load rifle. I feel certain the same holds true for lions and tigers. 

You'll be surprised to acknowledge that it is actually the opposite for polar bears. Before, when prey was much more readily available, males didn't have to fight so often for control of food supply as now. These days, I (and Polar Bear International) are both getting descriptive reports of male polar bear actually killing each other within minutes due to a depleted prey supply. I suppose polar bears actually got more aggressive in modern times, according to this. Reply
