well i know for a fact that i could kill bears with ease, i wasnt on a horse at the time and i was on foot but i got the bear to ran away so i knew he was almost dead, i chased it on food aggroed it again and it literally did openings on me for every color i couldnt defent fast enough and my agil is pretty high. it was very strange, i guess ill have to fight one with a horse and see if he really can do raw hide or not.
** EDIT : He wasnt in rage mode either
*****EDIT2: just faught bear with horse, i killed it quickly with no issues, it didnt do raw hide, but i think the trick here is that you have to kill bear as fast as you can while it builds its IP bc once it has around 10 or 11 IP it just spam attacks you and its decently fast
