Ex-Marine Kills Bear With Log
from WSBTV.com

HELEN - An ex-Marine used a whole lot of bravery and a little bit of luck in a harrowing encounter with a black bear.

Norcross resident Christ Everhart took his three boys on their first camping trip to the Chattahoochee National Forest last weekend. There, a 300 pound bear set her sights on their cooler. But when Chris son distracted the wild animal, the bear dropped the cooler and headed for the 6-year-old boy.

He held it right here then he threw it and it went rolling and struck the bear right there, said Jake Everhart.

Eleven-year-old Jake described how his dad kept a 300 pound black bear away from his youngest brother, Logan.

Chris Everhart and his sons were packing up after dinner when they got the unexpected guest.

The bear sunk her teeth into their cooler and was headed to the woods. Then 6-year-old Logan took action.

I got a shovel and I tried to scare it, said Logan.

But Logan was the one who ended up getting scared and getting the bears attention. The bear dropped the cooler and headed towards Logan, growling.

When Logan was being chased by the bear, I threw about five rocks at the bear to keep him away, said Kyle Everhart.

The boys dad, an ex-Marine, knew he had to do something. So he grabbed the closes thing he could find  a log.

(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head and I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear, said Chris.

Chris family will never forget the camping trip. Chris even ended up being cited for not properly storing his food, but thats not what he feels bad about.

I feel bad about killing the bear, said Chris.

Officials from the Department of Natural Resources said there has never been a bear attack in Georgia. But they said there is no way to predict how wild animals will behave. The best advice is to keep food and garbage away from the reach of bears.

Don't go into the woods without LOG."

If he were former Ranger, all he would have needed was his icy glare and the bear would have expired, DRT.

You Marines need to learn to operate firearms.  They are much more convenient. cool

Of course, no ammo cost if you use a log. grin

Chris even ended up being cited for not properly storing his food

So how are you supposed to have a picnic or cook over the campfire if you never get your food out of some armored steel locker ?

And how are you supposed to carry a bear proof container in the little plastic cars that everyone is supposed to be driving these days?

Heck, a bear can rip right into a car or an RV if they have a mind to.

 rolleyes



Anyway, I still want to know what caliber of log?  And was it a "magnum" ?

I thought bear-proof food storage meant suspended several feet in the air.  No?  Wait, they climb, don't they?  So confused.

Well, you don't tie it to the trunk of the tree.  They climb, they can't fly.

Except for the bears with wings.

yeah I too was a bit disturbed by them being cited for "improper food storage"

They were packing up and the food was in the cooler.  Unless we are missing something here and they had
chicken carcasses laying around.
