Ex-Marine Kills Bear With Log
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.[...]
“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.
That's not only hardcore, that's beastly. He killed the bear not by beating it with a log, but throwing it.
Awesome.
