Guy had a surprise encounter that could have ended up much worse. One swat from a juvenile bear in a wilderness area near here could have cost him his life. He was lucky to have survived.

I have seen quite a few black bears over the years, mostly while out walking my dogs. Been within about 40 feet a few times. So far, they have all done their best to vacate the scene as quickly as possible.
