I recently read an article about a man(39 years old) and his father(77 years old) who were on a hike when a bear started attacking the younger of the two. The 39 year old first saw the bear coming at them from behind a tree. He tried to shoot the bear, but The bear kept charging.
Tossing around the 39 year old as if he were nothing and hurting the mans arm severely in the process, The man was sure he was about to die. The 77 year old though was not going to stand there and let the bear mangle his son. So as the bear had a hold of his son, he was beating it and swearing at it. The bear did switch its attention to the elderly man but quickly tossed him aside and went back to the 39 year old.
The 39 year old was on the ground waiting for the bear to finish it when his elderly father of 77 years old got up (even while wounded), and charged toward the bear yelling every swear word he knew. As he was charging the man took his walking stick, raised it horizontally and thrusted it down the bears throat.
The article actually didn't detail if this killed the bear or not. But whatever happened to the bear, the two men were able to get away and drive to a hospital.
I have to hand it to this senior. I don't think i would be brave enough to challenge a BEAR, and a Grizzly Bear at that! But one thing is for sure. This is a prime example of "Sticking it to the man".
This is not the actual Bear
