This guy gets ready to jump out from his stand to spear a bear. What could go wrong right? Check out this bear spearing fail that could have turned deadly in a heartbeat.
In a video shared on Facebook by Mitchel J Yonkman we can almost hear this guy saying hold my beer while I take care of business.
Not sure if this guy is a pro spear hunter like Youtuber Tim Wells Bow Hunter. By the look of this bear setup, he may have waited a long time for this bear to come along.
When the black bear is in his trap, he jumps down with the elegance of a hippo. He falls down on his behind and luckily the bear takes off out of there.
Maybe the bear hunter would have fared better if he was sober. The black bear may have known this and elected to wait for the hunter to gulp down some beers. See the footage of hold my beer while spear this bear.
That was a really stupid move.
For one, black bears are relatively docile and will run away; also, they’re not that big.
I’d have more respect if it was a brown bear.
Keep your eyes on the bear, your hands upon the spear . . .
If it was a Grizzly this guy would be bear poop.
black bears are the same as brown bears....if that had been a Griz...that idiot would be dead meat.
“black bears are the same as brown bears”
A Kodiak is a brown bear. And those lurkers in and around Valdez were brown too.
Those “docile” animals have killed 9 people in North America in the past 8 years.

Any bear should be treated with respect, they are all capable of killing a full grown man. If you are going to try and kill a bear, kill the bear. This man is lucky to be alive.
All grizzly bears are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzly bears. The bears you are watching on the cams are brown bears. Grizzly bears and brown bears are the same species (Ursus arctos), but grizzly bears are currently considered to be a separate subspecies (U. a. horribilis). Due to a few morphological differences, Kodiak bears are also considered to be a distinct subspecies of brown bear (U. a. middendorfii), but are very similar to Katmai’s brown bears in diet and habits.https://www.nps.gov/katm/learn/photosmultimedia/brown-bear-frequently-asked-questions.htm
Even though grizzlies are considered to be a subspecies of brown bear, the difference between a grizzly bear and a brown bear is fairly arbitrary. In North America, brown bears are generally considered to be those of the species that have access to coastal food resources like salmon. Grizzly bears live further inland and typically do not have access to marine-derived food resources.
Besides habitat and diet, there are physical and (arguably) temperamental differences between brown and grizzly bears. Large male brown bears in Katmai can routinely weigh over 1000 pounds (454 kg) in the fall. In contrast, grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park weigh far less on average. There have been no documented cases of grizzly bears weighing over 900 pounds (408 kg) in Yellowstone. Additionally, grizzly bears seem to react to humans at greater distances than brown bears.
