True story..
"ROBBINSDALE, Minn. — A Minnesota hunter is recovering after a black bear attack in Pine County over the weekend.
Family members tell WDIO-TV hunter Brandon Johnson of North Branch has had surgery to repair two broken arms and a dislocated wrist. He also had bites and lacerations. Johnson tells authorities he was tracking the wounded bear early Saturday when it knocked him down and clawed and bit him.
Johnson was taken to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale
Johnson's friend and hunting partner Craig Lindstrom tells KSTP-TV another hunter had hit the 520-pound bear with an arrow. He says Johnson repeatedly stabbed the bear with a knife until it left him alone.

sounds like a moron to me.

No, what it tells you are bears can kill your ass and you better have your shit together at all times. The guy that got attacked did a great job defending himself, This mistake I see was tracking it at night.....
Maravia 14x24, Why is he a moron, maybe my name screwball is part of it. Actually it's a baseball reference also. Kick him in the nuts??? I have been hunting and tracking bears for 40 years. Never carried a gun. Never will. For me it is part of the rush. I track for many people every year. Have had some close calls. Bears are very dangerous, At any time whether wounded or not, in a tree or on the ground an animal is just that. I refuse to allow my grandchildren around any dog in a house with people around to unpredictable. Why do you find it necessary to call him names and put him down. You don't know him or were you there. Actually if I were to tell you my dream way to leave this earth and my funeral you would say I'm nuts (others have) and you have no right to sit in judgment.
Lucky to be able to tell his story, bears are nothing to fool with I have tracked a lot of them not his fault he got chewed up. Hope he heals up good.
maravia, I can't see calling the guy a moron, but then...never mind...
I read in one of the articles on this incident that the "Sheriff's office is still investigating the case". Umm, ok? Are they planning on charging the bear posthumously with assault? Was this a drug deal gone bad? Come on man. Hopefully the hunter makes a full recovery and doesn't face charges! Ha!
The Sheriff is considering charging the hunter with a "Hate Crime" the bear was black and the hunter was white.
After all these years of humans playing dead during bear attacks, the phakers have caught on. Look hunters I'm dead.... NOT!!!
Good one Billincamo. I heard Sharpton and Jackson are headed to Minnesota to get this sorted out. Eric holder will be there after the race baiters publicize it.
"Grizzly" Al Sharpton and Jesse "Bruin" Jackson are on the way. Th bear was sho over bait, who knew it was race bait!
"This bear could have been one of my kids."
Years ago I was heading out at 3 am to go steelhead fishing. The road I was on at that time has zero traffic and no civilization. I came upon a nice bear that had been hit by a vehicle and was dead.? There was no moon and pitch black in the mountains. For a moment I thought I would like to skin him out. All I could think about was a Far Side joke. I just knew there was another bear behind a tree saying " Don't move he's getting out of his car".
A guy i work with just moved here from Minnesota and was talking about his buddy killing a bear with his knife after getting attacked. I told him i had read about it on bowsite. Small world as im in Lakewood, CO. The story is pretty intense.
