When Bears Attack
Imagine, if you will, that you're a dad on a camping trip with your three sons. A 300-pound black bear wanders into your campsite, looking for a snack. After trying to abscond with your cooler (and having your six-year-old throw a shovel at it), the bear turns and contemplates munching on said six-year-old. What do you do?
If you're Chris Everhart, you throw a log at it... and kill it.
Hooah. That's all there is to say. He killed a bear with a log. Dang. Just dang.

The bear then dropped the cooler and started coming at the boy, said his father. Fearing what might happen next, Everhart, an ex-Marine, grabbed the closest thing he could find — a log from their stash of firewood.But, of course, in the world of "no good deed goes unpunished," he was given a ticket for "failing to secure the campsite."
"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."
Hooah. That's all there is to say. He killed a bear with a log. Dang. Just dang.
