Man nearly eaten by polar bear; saves himself with gun [PIC]

WARNING: These pictures are not for the weak-stomached.

A man was camping in the Yukon when a polar bear tore through his tent while he was sleeping, attacked him, tearing off most his scalp, scratching across his back, and biting a large chunk out of his foot.

He managed to get free from the bear and retrieve his firearm, shooting and killing the bear.

Some would say he’s lucky to be alive. Luck didn’t have anything to do with it; he was prepared to protect himself.

      Q: Why do we keep these man eating creatures around?
      A: For the same reason we dont cull ignorant dip{censored} like you. Unfortuntely for the rest of the world, everyone and everything that is born has the right to fight for its life and to live in its natural habitat without getting {censored} about with by people who have no real right to be there (people who then complain about how ferocious these animals are, despite the fact they were born there and had the right to be there and do what the {censored} they like – despite what you seem to think). That includes polar bears, and brainless {censored} such as yourself, unfortunately. I think instead of going to hunt for polar bears, you should go bare fisted, or save yourself the hassle and stay at home and shoot yourself. Have a nice day dip{censored}.

    What does bear steak taste like?

    When you go into bear territory you are taking a risk and are on the menu. The bear did what
    came naturally he was seeking food and this poor guy was easy prey. Imagine the bear thinking how lucking he was finding something just lying out there in the open.
    But most prey don't carry guns! I hope this gentlemans wounds heal along with the mental scares he'll have from the attack.

    What happened to his foot and scalp? Will they heal? more pics!

  • Bubba says:

    Yeah, that foot will heal right up. Give it a few weeks and some rest. He’s probably gonna lose the hair, though. I’m sure he could get a hair piece or something. My uncle Ted has one and it don’t look so bad – he sill get laid with it (or so he says…!).
