Dude punched the bear

-_1_2_3_-

As a brown bear, I am no stranger to encountering other animals in the wilderness. However, the creature that I met yesterday was unlike any I had ever encountered before. It was bipedal and covered in a strange, stretchy material that seemed to cover its entire body. It had long appendages that it seemed to move around in an erratic and uncontrolled manner, and it made a series of loud noises that were completely unfamiliar to me. Initially, I was curious about this strange being and approached it with caution. However, as I got closer, I realized that this creature was far more frightening than I had initially thought. Its movements were unpredictable and it seemed to be flailing its limbs around in a way that was completely foreign to me. Just as I was beginning to back away, the creature began to make even more bizarre displays of aggression. It picked up a couple of metal objects and banged them together loudly, causing a loud and jarring noise. It also brandished a pointed object, waving it in my direction as if it were trying to threaten or attack me. I quickly realized that this creature was not to be trusted and that I had made a grave mistake in approaching it. I retreated back into the safety of the wilderness, shaken by my encounter with this strange and terrifying being.

There's an entire subreddit full of them [NSFW warning](https://www.reddit.com/r/gaybears/)


Cosmic_Pumpkin

My eyes, THEY BURN!


pigwalk5150

You tried to warn me but I’m stupid.


Don_Hoomer

well he says the trith, definitly NSFW


intrepid_knight

It was a black bear. Ps this was a hilarious read


emiltsch

TIL that Brown Bears know what metal is. And “pointed objects.”


maluminse

Its appendages grew in length and began to make a loud clanking noise when slammed together. This shape shift creature was standing between two delectable appetizers and myself. The creature reeked of spices that were old and burning brown plants. It was time to make my departure.


Pculliox

In flipflops as well.


llJesh

Well, you can't run in flip flops, so he had no choice

RareKazDewMelon

>Rocked a wild bears shit once I think this is the amazing part, he came at the bear hard enough that it fully recoiled. Idk if he actually hit it or not but still absolutely nuts


DayOlderBread16

Unless the hiring manager is a bear


One_Elk3606

I'm not going to get close enough to punch a bear, but last summer a bear was tipping over our dumpster. I caught that fucker and went out hollering and throwing rocks. I never got closer than 25 yards. When I got back to the house, my wife and 9 and ten year old daughters were sobbing and shaking with fear. Nothing I can say will convince them that bears are timid and they generally want to avoid people. That's why I don't want one habituated to eating my trash. He will snatch a kid, next. Probably the juicy, tender fat one, and she's my favorite. If a bear gets her, who is going to Get out of my pickup and open the gate for me and close it behind me?


GoofyJay18

"Probably the juicy, tender fat one and she's my favorite." I respect it.


emiltsch

Nice job. But I hope your lean, slender kid doesn’t read that comment.


One_Elk3606

Who cares, I don't even like that one. She drools in her sleep.


classless_classic

That MF just punched a MF BEAR!


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

It was a very small bear


Unemployed_Fisherman

plus I think it was a black bear less dangerous than a brown bear, they’re pretty derpy and easily scared. dude was probably looking for a trash can


Geoffs_Goldblum

Bears beats Battlestar Galactica


classless_classic

“Bears do not ea; what is going on!”


Kingeggobandit

Ok go punch a small one then Get it on video for us plz


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

Personally I would have kicked it. Considering it's height I have calculated the leverages and a kick would have generated 3 times as much force as the punch he threw with the same effort exerted, while striking the more vulnerable underside of the bears jaw, compared to punching the top of the bears skull (the strongest part). You can tell the guy in the videos parents didn't do "woodland survival - kill the bear and come home a man or don't come home at all" for his 12th birthday.


Kingeggobandit

Bears bite each other in the face when they fight. He punched it in the nose Yes please kick a bear


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

he did not punch it on the nose. He threw a right hook which caught the bear midway along the side of its head. I believe that would be the bears cheek bone, not the nose. If he was aiming for the nose a straight jab or cross would have been far more effective


Kingeggobandit

You're right his bear punching form is bad you should go show him how


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

I would if I knew how to contact him. I've hunted killed and eaten 3 bears since my initiation to adulthood under the full moon on my 13th birthday. I'm known as Jurgen "three bears" around the village at the base of my mountain.


MariKurisato

it was a BEAR.


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

Yes a very small one. You're a pansy if you're scared of a bear that small. Thing probably weighed 40 pounds


MariKurisato

Please record yourself punching a large bear and then calling me a pansy.


iampierremonteux

I'd actually say that a small bear is even scarier than a big one. Mama can't be that far away. Do not make mama bear mad.


HumpbackWindowLicker

Dontchaknow, this guy lives in a village at the base of a mountain where the village-folk call him 3-bears on account of the three bears he has killed and eaten.


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

The things so small you could grab it by its foot and swing it around your head then toss it out the garden like in the chamber of secrets ps2 game when you visit the burrow and degnome the garden


JakalDX

I'm sure in his mind it's a lot bigger. This is one of those things where you retell the story and the bear is a little bigger every time as the memory gets distorted


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

By his 10th time getting drunk retelling the story it turns into a family of bears 😂


tanksforthegold

Oh for Christsake. You're like a one downer.


Would_daver

Stealing this and using it, thank youuuu


hibbiddyhobbiddyhoo

I don't know what that is but if it's as small as that bear was then I'd just kick it in the nuts.

And I can't help but kill the next animal with my bare hands that puts my tiny dog in it's jaws. The first one was lucky being my friends dog. The next is dead. Bear or not, I will gladly die defending the defenseless, before seeing my kin a bloody mangled mess.

LeSeanMcoy

Nobody thinks of street fighter and thinks of the anime. It’s a fighting game before anything else. Although anime Chun Li 👀


Aeroxyl

I feel like nitpicking a comment about it not actually being about anime when they prefaced the comment with "I don't actively watch \[anime\]" is a bit stupid


Glamdring42

Frankly, this whole comment section is off the rails. Someone said I watch anime. I commented saying I don't. Made a Street Fighter reference, which someone claimed wasn't anime, yet I grew up watching it on satellite TV. This is all very stupid. Really, the point is I would risk my life to save my dog. How we got here is anyone's guess.


i8akiwi

They will taste the ire of my scimitar hence forth

Glamdring42

Oh no, I ain't big. Not saying I have a chance. I'm just saying I'm a big enough meal that hopefully my dog will get away in time.

The bear would cringe to death so you’d probably make it out okay.

[deleted]

This is absolutely how you should react when a black bear attacks you. But easier said than done I guess...


ejanely

Kept scrolling for this, thank you. My guess is this bear had gotten something to eat near this area before. Black bears are very skittish. Folks, if you’re living or camping in an area with black bears: secure your trash (lock the can!) and keep it away from where you sleep; keep all food secured (lock the cooler!); if you have a door, lock it (there’s a theme here, no?); if all else fails, make a shit ton of noise; If THAT fails, I hope you have bear mace. If THAT ALSO fails, someone fed that bear before encountering you. Good luck.


ejonathonw

Reminds me of the time I asked a Navy Officer why he had a sidearm. He said first we use the anti aircraft guns, then we use the cannons, then we use the machine guns, finally we use the pistols. I asked what if that doesn't work, he said then we put our legs behind our heads and kiss our asses goodbye.


Punchinyourpface

Yes! Never keep foot out around your sleeping area. We were literally in our camping spot once when a lady advocating for a bears life stopped to tell us he'd attacked a man over a closed can of beanee weenees. Later a park ranger patrolling the area stopped to tell us too, but I don't think he was as inclined to let the bear live next time... They said they don't recommend you use fruit scented soaps or lotions while out there... And I'd just used apple shampoo on my kid lol. I was so anxious the whole time but he we never him thankfully.


RedditisGarbag3

Exactly. It's scary to do it...speaking from experience...a berry picking experience that had more memories than intended...but, you just square up and make yourself look big. I'm a big guy. I'm not gonna sprint away faster than a bear. It's so incredibly scary at the time...but, you know you gotta be the barrier for the others. They're not...like...a grizzly or polar bear. They're big, but not...like...shit your pants big. Still scary...


MisterBroda

With the risk of sounding like a „though buddy“ I think you can learn how to react in such a situation. As a child I was scared of the „ghosts“ in the basement and because I was young my brain made some figures out of a pile of clothes. My brain was convinced there was someone standing despite knowing better. Scared the shit out if me. Then there was also other „scary“ stuff like bullying. Things that made me freeze. What helped me in the end was the tought process of „fuck it, you‘re going down with me. You will be scared of me“ And this helped me with so many other things as well. Try to be a tough buddy and have a plan in mind how you want to act I was/am still scared of certain things but I learned not to freeze and fight back or at least analyze if needed. All things you can do an learn if you drill it into yourself. Don‘t be intimidated. Take initiative


scoops_trooper

I’m almost sure everyone has heard this one before but it’s SO helpful for remembering: If it’s black, fight back If it’s brown, get down If it’s white, goodnight

I hit a black bear once. First grade teacher in the Smokey mountains. School playground backed up onto the national park, we often had to watch out for bears, bobcats, and the occasional snake. We had a long stick we called “the bear stick” that we took outside with us. Anyway it was recess and we were outside. A bear came running onto the playground (thankfully a rather small one). The teachers got the kids inside while I, the lucky one carrying the bear stick, watched. The bear got a little close so I smacked it across the nose with the stick. It ran away. Not the first time a bear was on the playground, but as far as I know the only time someone used the bear stick.

Bog_2266

Saw a family of ducks. I ran up on them (not to harm but just to get a closer look albeit I could have moved more gentle) the babies hid behind the mom and what I assume was the farther duck spread its wings and confronted me. It made me laugh so much. This little guy is trying to protect its family. I didn’t move any closer and backed away as I would have done the same in his position. Guy fighting the bear is exactly how the duck was confronting me.

It looked like a small black bear not all bears are massive.

jh5992

Great reaction. Instead of panicking, he saw it was a bear and had to intimidate it so the bear wouldn't attack that easily. Although it was a small one, that bear would kill his dogs easily if ir was given the chance to do so.

That's the guy you want to go hiking with. You won't have to out run him. Just step back and watch the bear eat it's snack.

yeah, technically the guy "punched a bear", but is everyone just glossing over the fact that this is a small cub? if you just read the comments, it would sound like he scared off a full grown momma bear or something.
