One very lucky guy.
"Carbery was pleased to hear this, he can emphatize that the bear was just behaving in a natural and predictable manner.
It wasnt the bears fault at all, he said. It was me dropping my guard and walking out into a situation that was already charged."
This is pretty much why we practically wiped out bears in the first place. So we wouldn't have to be on guard every time we stepped out our front door. So we wouldn't have to be worried about being killed by an animal 40 feet from our front door.
I guess in Canada even park rangers don’t have access to firearms.
They should make a movie out of this — maybe they can get Leonardo DiCaprio to play the lead.
It’s no different in South Side of Chicago and they blame Guns. /s
However, If it worked for keeping the Bears in check perhaps...
“I guess in Canada even park rangers dont have access to firearms.”
He was only 40 ft. from his house, and probably wasn’t thinking he needed a firearm to go into his yard.
Note to self: When living in Grizzly Country and you hear a noise outside, It’s best to look around BEFORE you go out.
He should have been prepared.

When you see a bear cub, best get out of Dodge. This poor man obviously tried.
Glad he’s still alive.
Looking at that picture, are you sure the bear didn’t do something else to him?
Must have been cubs somewhere close.
I vote for James Franco. He did fantastic work in 127 (?) Hours. :)
I bet you’re right though...it could make a good movie.
Quite possibly they were in one of his cherry trees.
“When you see a bear cub”
Freeze, find momma, and back away slowly keeping watch.
I have seen cubs in the woods, never got close enough to meet mom.
Yes, it is why they were almost extinct! Those who got here first had common sense, which seems to be none too common these days.

I’ve heard Grizzly Bears get particularly upset if you approach their young. Black Bears, not so much. Black Bears get upset if they think you’re muscling in on their food. Best to give both a wide berth.
