    Good lord. If I ever go bear hunting I will be packing in something other than just sharp broadheads and knives. Nope Nope and Nope on getting mauled. Scary stuff.

    What they didn't say in the article, these guys were all members in the "Don't poke the bear" club...

    As it turns out, they've all decided poke the bear from now on.

    yeah i saw that the other day. One more reason I am not sure I would want to go bear hunting with a bow. Something about shooting an animal from close range that wants to kill me doesn't sound like much fun.

    Bear hunting has got to be a rush.
    Trying to kill something that can climb up a tree faster than you can fall out of one.

    Big wounded boar hogs can give you a few stitches as well if there not dead by the time you reach them.

    There have only been a dozen bear attacks in Minnesota since the 80's no big deal

    Wouldn't the fact that there's been so few of them actually make it a big deal? It's not every day a guys mauled by a 500 lb black bear and kills the thing with a knife.

    True, wonder what kind of knife? I imagine getting the blade open with a bear chewing on you has to be a challange
