Newser) – A hunter in British Columbia was being attacked by a grizzly bear when his hunting partner came to his rescue—only to accidentally shoot him. Despite the really bad day, it seems his injuries aren't life-threatening, the National Post reports. The 56-year-old, whose name is given as Wilf Lloyd by CTV, was hunting Sunday morning when the bear attacked, prompting his hunting partner to shoot; the partner did eventually kill the animal, though not without hitting Lloyd first.

Shoot amongst us! Somebody’s got to have some relief! (hat tip to Jerry Clower)
I read something once about bearing arms.
“Stop helping me!”
... or was it arm bears?
If you are mauled by a bear, you might as well be shot by your friend.
Hold my bear while I shoot this beer"
You know you’re having a bad day when....
The only thing worse is being mauled by your friend and shot by a bear.
Dick Cheney to the rescue...
Shoot we much.
You know the old joke about the two guys out camping are surprised by a bear one morning. The first guy pulls a .22 short out of his backpack, and the other says, “You can’t kill a bear with that!” The first one says, “I don’t have to,” and kneecaps the other guy.
My initial thought was that something along these lines happened...and I’m glad that the shooter was merely incompetent and not evil.
I love armchair shooting critics. You've got a bear attacking your friend, likely shaking him around like a rag doll, and you have a few seconds to kill the bear before he kills your friend. You do so, accidentally hitting your friend in the process, and some guy on an internet forum calls you "incompetent".
OK, maybe I was a bit harsh. But incompetent beats the Hell out of evil.
I’m really just glad that the double victim is OK. Definitely qualifies as “hard to kill.”
Well said H.
I remember an old Peter Hathaway Capstick article about a lion tearing into a safari camp one night. He was dragging off the son, I think, and the dad shot the lion in the head with a 243. Trouble was, the son had his arm down the lion’s neck and the bullet took it off.
“Shoot we much.”
I don’t care who ya are, that right there’s Funny.
