Don't Poke the Bear

This isn't about picking on the boss or someone you know. But literally don't go out and poke a wild bear. In a video shared on Facebook by The Hunting News, here's another guy that just wants to be friends with a wild bear. Yep, a wild bear. Gee I wonder whats going to happen.

A word to the wise don't go looking for trouble. Doesn't matter if you've seen this bear a million times when you were out on your nature walk. Bears are wild. Give them plenty of room and never corner one for fun, especially a bear. This isn't Shakespeare "to poke or not to poke". See the bear poking here.

Apply the same rule to Area 51. Area 51 is a legal military reservation and it is allowed to use lethal force to protect it’s real estate and people on site. Not a game!

What an idiot.

Wild Animals are not pets.
Bears are not friendly.
1+1=2 no matter how much you want it to be something else.

Timothy Treadwell and girlfriend Amie, big bear enthusiasts, killed by bears in 2003.
And they were experts.

It’s OK, the stove isn’t hot.

Wen my bear knocks on my window, I can throw rocks? Or do I run to my safe room?

[IgnaciKat]

I love it!

I was enjoying my first sip of coffee when I saw this.

Can we open a ticket window to let animal lovers pet the bear?

[NFHale]

Surprised he was able to get that close...

[IronJack]

Just ask Timothy Treadwell. Or, as he’s now known, “Lunch.”

[ManHunter]

“Aw, ain’t he cut.... Oh &^%$!”

[real saxophonist]

What an idiot.

Yes, 'w1n1' is an idiot.

[Who is John Galt?]

And they were experts.

There's room there for another word or two, such as "allegedly", "reportedly", "reputedly", or "self-described"...

Yea, but, must not speak ill of the dead and all that.

I was thinking of:
"Don't try this at home, we're what you call "experts"."

Another attempt by the OP and American Shooting Urinal to take credit for someone else’s work. i.e., Click-Bait.

If you don’t want to give ASJ credit they don’t deserve, here’s the link they’re hosting:

Just follow it instead to get to the source of the story they’re hijacking and avoid their half-baked attempt at journalism.

BTW, I wonder how many people they have running the W1N1 account for them to keep them topped-up on undeserved attention.

I fall in that "expert" category from time to time myself...

Horrible...
