Man Videos Black Bear Climbing Tree Stand He Is Occupying (A Dangerously Close Call)
Funny, Weird, & Educational Pictures or Videos ^ | 11/8/10 | Chuck Wolk

Hosted by imgur.comIn this video, you will see a black bear approaching a tree stand while it's occupied by a human. I was unable to find out if the man in the stand was hunting dear, or bear. Either way the bear decided to see what was up the latter. It's a close call when you consider what a bear can do to a man. It all turns out OK though, because the bear is actually startled when it realizes there's a human at the top of the ladder and decides so it decides to head back down and leave.

I do wonder if the guy in the tree stand had a rifle, just in case the bear decided to join him for lunch.

Looks like a black bear. He was just curious. The guy with the green boots in the tree needs to go get a job.

Well the hunter obviously was not hunting bear. He would have had one.

LOL! I bet the man was getting a bit nervous! Black bears are generally shy and curious all at the same time. I have one around my home here in central Florida and have seen it almost 4 times. It is every bit as big as the one in this video too!

Same reaction as when I used to catch my dog doing something bad.

Yea, it's like, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that this tree was occupied".

If I were the guy, I would be worried that the bear thought I was the lunch basket.

I cant believe the guy said “hey, what are you doing there” and that made the bear leave. One lucky dude.

So the guy freaks out and curls up into a fetal position and starts praying, “Dear Lord! Help me ..Help me Lord ...Make this bear a Christian bear!” All of a sudden he hears silence and as he peers over the edge of the tree stand he can’t believe what he sees. That bear is on its knees and has its paws folded, its head is bowed. Then he hears, coming from the bear, “Bless us Oh Lord and these thy gifts which we are about to receive’.....

"Hey what are you doing there?"

Guy has a brass set on 'em. My answer to anyone asking me the same question in that situation would be, "Releasing my bowels."
