Hunter Charged & Tackled by Black Bear

We see close call videos all the time. Often times, the animals back down at the last second because the person being charged does all the right things and stands up to the charging animal, but that gives a very false representation of just how unpredictable wild animals can be.

In this video, Richard Wesley was hunting black bear when he suddenly found himself face-to-face with every hunters worst nightmare.

Here’s the gripping footage from his perspective:

Talk about intense!

In Richard’s own words, here is what he had to say about the bear attack on his YouTube channel:

“I am so happy after this confrontation with a black bear during our spring hunt. No wounds except a bruised elbow and ego where the bear threw me down. Genuinely happy that this was a non fatal or tragic outcome. Proving that the black bear is a wild and unpredictable animal. Again so happy with the outcome.”
