    This was on the local news the other day and is a county away from me. I can't believe these guys were this calm. Watch it until the end, the bear puts on a show.

    The bear would have to like the smell/taste of S**T to get that close to me because my pants would be filled with it....

    My guess Is that they had some fish and this bear was set on getting these fish. Kinda surprising to me that a young boar (male) was this aggressive with these 2 people. I've had many encounters with bear and I've never saw a young bear act like this.

    My thought was that someone has been feeding him and he is used to people. Definitely a young boar.

    My favorite part is the end......

    "This mother****er is actin crazy now."
    "I wonder if he dosn have rabies."
    "That sum ***** had my foot and was trying to drag me away."
    "I wasn gonna let tha mutha****a.....sum ***** had my damn foot."

    I think one of these guys may have been our own Cody Altizer. :D I think he grew up in this county.
