He tried to counter current wisdom (as per folks like Herrero) by living in close contact with the grizzlies. His long periods among them certainly suggested that the grizzlies could coexist with humans to a greater extent than some thought, but he, like a certain tiger handler (Horn), relied a lot on continuous observation and experience. And like the tiger handler, he ultimately realized that he is dealing with a wild animal that hunts and kills by instinct. IOW, his luck ran out, as Nick says.
