That was a really stupid move.
For one, black bears are relatively docile and will run away; also, they’re not that big.
I’d have more respect if it was a brown bear.
Keep your eyes on the bear, your hands upon the spear . . .
If it was a Grizzly this guy would be bear poop.
black bears are the same as brown bears....if that had been a Griz...that idiot would be dead meat.
Those “docile” animals have killed 9 people in North America in the past 8 years.

Any bear should be treated with respect, they are all capable of killing a full grown man. If you are going to try and kill a bear, kill the bear. This man is lucky to be alive.
