Allen Minish was alone and surveying land for a real estate agent in a wooded, remote part of Alaska, putting some numbers into his GPS unit when he looked up and saw a large brown bear walking about 30 feet (9 meters) away.
“I saw him and he saw me at the same time, and it’s scary,” Minish said by phone Wednesday from his hospital bed in Anchorage, a day after being mauled by the bear in a chance encounter.
Poor dude was disturbed after coming home to find some white dude plowing the field on his squaw to give her what she has never had, natives to this land ain’t the brightest ya know.
I try to let bears know I'm around, but a bend in the trail, a crest of a hill, crossing a ravine, etc., can create situations where as this fellow recounts, they saw each other at the same time.
300lbs of Sparta at 40mph closed the distance instantly on him 30ft.
If he was in the brush in bear country unarmed, he deserved that & more. Dumb fucker ought to be dead, and good riddance. I hope he hasn't reproduced, and that he won't. Don't tell me about "not allowed", either. My company says we aren't allowed to carry in our company trucks. Almost everybody does, & everybody else knows it & approves. --Tennessee Budd
No bear spray equals idiot and he probably lives there.

DeleteHad to be a youngster. The Brown Bear is the Grizzly's larger cousin.
