The attack happened in Siren, Burnett County, on 6 September, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Owen Beierman, 12, took aim at the bear as it pinned down his dad while they were on a legal hunting trip.
The pair were hunting for black bear near the family's cabin when they spotted the 200lb (91kg) bruin. Owen shot and injured the animal, which ran off into dense forest.
They gave chase, and as they entered a glade the animal charged at Mr Beierman from about 6ft (1.8m) away. He said he fired eight shots at the bruin with his pistol, but missed.
The bear bit him in the abdomen, arm and leg.

A wounded blackie is no joke. It set them up for ambush.

*******
He needs range practice.
Mess with the bull (bear) get the horns (teeth).
A true man in the making there.
12 yr old Owen Beierman has some real nerve!
Dad may feel fortunate to only have been bitten (I stopped before posting, but it’s a valid point).
I’d like to know where the kid’s rifle was.
Doesn’t sound like the father knows how to hunt bear.
And, by the way, clickbait/fake bbc headline (kid missed all 8 shots).
I think Ted Nugent hunts them with a bow (but he is special).

It reads like the DAD missed the 8 shots. And at 6 ft? He shouldn't have.
Then again, I don't know how well I'd do with a bear charging at me.
Yep, he gave that bear a Dicken.
I guess we should all wait for the details from Ammoland.
