This bear hunting incident is a reminder: this is serious business.
This bear hunting video will hopefully teach you to always approach an animal slowly after you attempt to harvest it, especially a black bear. Even though these folks were hunting with hounds, the dogs weren't enough to initially fend off this angry black bear.
The bear ended up latching on to the lower torso of the hunter who approached it, leaving some fierce marks that will surely scar.
Even though this black bear was shot three times and fell nearly 30 feet, it still didn't die. Unfortunately, this hunter did not know that it was still alive.
When hunting black bears, always make sure the bear gives off the death moan, as I've heard it called, when it takes its last breath before you approach. Read the rest of the bear attack story here.
Bump
He’s not dead, Jim.
That goes for any large game. A supposedly-dead deer or elk can deliver a hellacious kick to an unwary hunter.
And you thought that møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti.
"Oh well...I figure with bears, then...it's me or them..."
They could have hit him with a 12KV transformer and not killed him:

There was a landowner in Jacksonville, FL years ago who was gored by a buck. Lacerated is liver. The only way he could get him off was to slit the buck’s throat with a pocket knife.
I had an acquaintance years ago rope a deer in his barn. He said as soon as that loop went on, he knew he made a mistake.
One of my uncles got kicked in the leg by an elk, broke it in two places and tore his knee up.
Even if I shoot a squirrel, I make sure he’s dead before I pick him up. They’ll bite the hell out of you.
Classic joke —
Two guys are out in the woods hunting bear. One guy slips and shoots his friend. He quickly calls 911.
“911. What is your emergency?”
“I shot my friend! I think he’s dead!”
“Are you sure?”
“Wait a minute ...”
There is a small pause, then a very loud BANG!
“Okay, I’m back. Yeah, he’s definitely dead. What should I do now?”
I have been in on a lot of bear kills.
With new hunters one needs to make sure they don’t run up to them to fast.
I seen more then one supposedly dead bear after falling from the tree come Alive.
We alwAys have an experience back up shooter to take care of such problems
Two more in the head makes sure its dead.
Another classic..
Two buddies were out hunting. One of the guys takes a leak. Just as he is finishing, a rattle snake jumps up and bites him on his privates.
His friend frantically calls 911. The dispatcher tells the guy he is going to need to cut a small X on the bite and suck out the poison. The guy responds: “Uh huh.” and hangs up.
The guy with the bite is saying in a pleading voice: “What did they say! “What did they say!”
His friend say: “They said you were going to die.”
Save
Good point. You need those fingers for the saxophone.
I wonder, was it this bear?
They will bite the hell out of you even if you are close. I learned to keep my distance from the little buggers until I was sure they were dead. I’ve had them come down the tree and jump on me.
