...many have followed Bear's example and reverted to the bow and arrow. By necessity, they have also returned to nature. "The bow hunter is accurate at only 30 yards or less," explains Bear. "Getting that close to a wild animal is like trying to sneak into Fort Knox. And that's the fun of it. It's not the kill; that's always anticlimactic.

He finally settled in Los Angeles, producing recordings rather than performing on them. He did right well, too. During six years as a producer for the Reprise label, he supervised albums that sold 10 million copies and singles that sold 12 million, boosting his income to $500,000 a year. Today, his own six-month-old Amos Productions Inc. is one of the largest independent record-production companies...
