Amos isn't a villain...

The only reasons he tried to kill Tod were:

1. The first time he thought Tod was trying to kill his chickens. It'd only be natural that a hunter would kill a fox that supposedly tried to eat his chickens. And after that, he just threatened that he would shoot Tod IF, AND ONLY IF, he invaded his property again, which is reasonable considering the trouble Tod caused.

2. Tod almost got one of his dogs killed, which definitely justifies him wanting revenge for his beloved dog. He invades the reserve to kill Tod only and not any other animal at all.

The fact that after the events with the bear and Tod saving both his and Copper asses made him decide that, even though Tod almost got Chief killed, he had just saved them, so after some convincing from Copper, he thought it was unfair to kill Tod after all that.

He also takes really good care of his dogs and loves them very dearly (and his dogs love him as well), which shows he's just a rather normal guy, albeit a bad tempered hunter.

And again about the people saying the bear is evil. It's not evil, the only things that bear can be accused of are a bad temper and rather disproportional retribution. Also, to make it very easy to understand and also obvious, just watch again the whole sequence with the bear and all of you will realize it NEVER ATTACKS FIRST. Every single time the bear got attacked and simply retaliated.

1. Bear roars at Amos and Copper but DOES NOT ATTACK > Amos shoots at the bear > Bear looked even scared after taking the shot and goes after Amos.

2. Copper gets between the bear and Amos > the bear STOPS ATTACKING to growl at Copper, pretty much as if telling him to get lost so he can finish Amos off > Copper attacks the bear > the bear attacks Copper back.

3. Tod attacks the bear so it won't kill Copper > the bear also looks distressed upon Tod climbing its back, and after attacked, chases after Tod.

By all means, that bear really got the short end of the stick, considering it was just defending its home.
