Default Black Bear vs Guy in a Tree Stand

The guy shooting this video is deer hunting from his tree stand,
when an adult-aged black bear mosey's into the clearing directly below his tree. What the bear does when it looks up the tree and sees the hunter
may surprise you. I personally think its an "oh crap!" moment, but this guy has got to be one cool customer ... either that, or he had a video camera in one hand and a .44 magnum in the other!

The moral of this story must be ... "if confronted by an adult-aged black bear, just be calm and act cool ... then merely ask the bear a question."

Ya got'ta turn your audio up so you can hear this,Ya just won't believe it
unless you hear it for yourself ! ! .

That was too funny, but I would have been a little more vocal! He was halfway up the ladder

OMG! I think I would have shot that bear if it hadn't taken off when it did. I would not wait for it to start mauling me! I am pretty sure that would have been justified. And he had it on camera to back up the story.

The bear was so cute ..
I am glad it neither the bear nor the hunter got hurt.

She obviously thought it was her tree stand. An understandable mistake.

Oh, and Trez? Haven't you seen a bear ride a bicycle?

The hunter was pretty calm, might have been his weapon that gave him the confidence.

I would have helped him dig the hole or skin it out. Opportunity wasted!
