After they interviewed the guy I kind of wish the bear had eaten him.

Some bears do come out of hibernation this time of year if they get hungry but that level of aggressiveness was totally out of character for a black bear. Tests confirmed that the bear had rabies.

He came very close to blaming it on climate change. Rabies or not, perhaps the bear knew something we don't.

It appears that this was a case of role reversal, the bear was trying to cull out the inferior genetics of humans in it's hunting area for a possible trophy down the road laugh

If one of my daughters ever date someone like that, I'm just going to get stuff out of the way from the very start and there's a good chance he'll hate me. Which I am OK with.

Do you have a link for that? Rabies in bears is exceedingly rare with no cases reported in over 20 years. Agree though bears will pop out once in a while from there dens on warm days mid winter - they typically though are very lethargic and not a threat.

As for the wing ding in the video - citiot. Hunted bears all my life and have seen hundreds in the wild and killed 40 or 50. Had some up close and personal encounters over the years and been bluff charged dozens of times. Only once did i have to pull the trigger on a bear that would not back down.

Yeah, that’s true. Those that don’t , typically get eaten. I guess that’s why we’re discussing this. Why did this [censored] get spared? Are the bears getting weaker?

I wonder if he is getting his shots. Or did it break any skin to transmit the rabies? scratch
