Man comes out swinging against bear (NF)

[ScarSnake]

A sow attacked a man in BC, dude fights back with a stick, and somehow wins. Reminds me of the thread a few years ago about the guy who took on a bear with a knife and won.

Lucky is right...Adrenalin must have been a factor in perfecting his swing I'd say!

And that my son, is how legends are made.

I am glad the guy is ok. Sixty stitches to the head. Ouch.

 

I thought you needed a 300 magnum for bear. I guess a knife or a stick is enough.

The trick is to make yourself look big & don't yell at the bear.

I guess it is natural to fight back with everything you've got.

I wouldn't want to do it, but to save my life, I sure would!

The dude is lucky..

I'm gonna go practice puttin' an armbar on my cat..lol.

Unbelievable -- another reason to carry a beefy walking stick in bear country....I think Louisville makes a good one....

I had a cousin (way back in the 1920's) who killed a bear by ramming his pocket knife into the bruiser's ear. The blade broke off.
