Orr said he continued shouting as he had been doing all the way down the trail, but the sow charged him. He deployed bear spray when the animal was 25 feet away, but he said the bear's momentum carried her through the spray and into him.
Orr said he dropped to the ground and curled into a ball as the bear bit his arms, shoulder and backpack.
"The force of each bite bite was like a sledgehammer with teeth," he wrote in the Facebook post. "She would stop for a few seconds and then bite again. Over and over. After a couple minutes, but what seemed like an eternity, she disappeared."

First, stop smearing yourself with honey and Spam. ..
He’s very fortunate to have survived one bear attack, let alone a second while he was still injured from the first. He’s got to feel lucky to be alive. God has a purpose for him in this life, he needs to find it.
Two?...What did he do? Confront a #BearLivesMatter group?................
Love the old joke about telling the difference between black and grizzly bear scat. The former contains seeds and berries. The latter has that along with bells and whistles, and it smells like pepper spray.
Compare this incident to the guy in Alaska who was carrying a Glock 10mm: one dead bear and part of a toe shot off (self inflicted).
Same mama griz came back for another try to finish him off.
That’s so speciest...because speciest is a word...like microaggression.
They are around up here. Well armed and very aware at all times when outside is the idea.
Very cool. Don’t know if I’d want a scope on it though.
Micro = 1/1000000, so a microaggression is one millionth of an aggression......
My spellchecker doesn’t even recognize “microaggression” as a real word...............
Clearly, this guy invaded the bear’s safe space.
Lol, the red line of manufactured outrage..
That’s because it’s NOT a real word.....Microaggression....MEH!! SNOWFLAKE LANGUAGE!!
August 2009, different story, different outcome. This man, Greg Brush, lives in Alaska and when he walks his dog
he holsters a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan snub nosed .454 Casull.
He heard a twig snap, turned around and saw this 900 pound brown bear charging from 30' away.
“Total luck shot,” he said. “It doesn’t get any closer. He slid by me on his chin when I shot him,” Brush said.
“I was backpedaling as fast as I could. I wasn’t even aiming. I tripped over my own feet as I pulled the trigger.”
