That kick in Mr. Bear’s schnozzola saved retiree Jerry House’s life. That HAS to be one for the books.
Reminds me of a joke I can’t tell here, but the punchline goes - So the bear grabs the hunter’s gun and says to him ‘You don’t come here to hunt, do you.’
Some hunter, eh?
I’d like to hear the bear’s side of the story.
“Hause was out hunting with his 28 year old son.”
Why didn’t they shoot the bear? This kind of stuff makes us look bad on the food chain!
So Mr. HAUSE turns to his son, who is tightening the laces on his Underarmor hunting/hiking/running shoes.
“Son, I don’t think that’s gonna do you much good. That there bear can outrun both of us.”
And Hause Jr. replied, “Pop, I don’t have to outrun him. I just have to outrun you.”
The wildlife sure are getting restless

Bear ping...
Idiot.
Just wait until he admits he tried to pet the animal.
Black Bears are animals that do not understand humans.
Stay away and observe, that is your power.
Guess he couldn’t bear it and embarked up a tree...
Lame joke...

Bears KNOW BETTER than to try that kind of crap in Texas...we fight back.
I was a bear hunter back in the day. I had a bait eaten by a bear one morning, sixty pounds of meat. I had a lasting impression of that. These are not your normal Smokey mountain bears as Disney depictions, they will eat you. Coming down from the mountains in the spring you would think they would all be skinny, far from the truth. Some are still huge and hungry.
Apparently House didn’t have enough time to try drawing a red line.
It’s not a black bear - it’s an african-american bear.
I talked to an old Mainer who used to work in logging. He wasn’t worried about black bears. He grew up picking wild blueberries. “They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Trouble is, you can get really close to one accidentally when you’re picking blueberries. You just have to remain still.”
Sure, no problem 8-)
Surprised that after 65 comments no one mentioned Bear Skat/Bells/Garlic.
Never take a bow to a bearfight. :-)
