I cannot believe that the guy just sat here. I would have at least stood up and move so to stand on the ladder part of the stand to give myself a couple of feet between me and the bear, and that probably would have still been within range for the bear to do something to me. WOW
Black Bears are typically as shy as they are curious. Wild or Unknown noises drive most of them away. These guys have either had encounters with bears before or simply have nerves of steel.
"Holy **** he says" I'm pretty sure he was gonna follow that up with "I **** my pants" Where is your Judge loaded up with some .45 LC when you need one? No game warden would ding you for a self defense case on that.
When bear reached and started to climb I'd yell "hey bear! Get outta here!"
If he continued to climb I'd keep yelling until about half way up. Then fire a shot into the ground. If he doesn't stop by then It either wants to eat me or is stupid. So then I shoot bear.
There's only one thing to do in that situation and that is to wrassle! In real life, I'd **** my pants and hope for the best. The guy in the video has to have a huge pair of balls.
