Got this in an email from my buddy Gary, a former co-worker. Amazing story. A little on the terrifying side! I actually met up with Gary yesterday and it's even more dramatic when being spoken.
I'm sure you remember Brent from work: avid hunter and fisherman.
At some point in the future, I'm sure that the amazing cell-cam footage he recorded last weekend will be made public, after he has had a chance to sell it. And it's worth money, too!
He and three other guys were hunting up north of you. They got lucky, and bagged a beautiful 8-pointer, about 150 pounds or so. They began taking turns, two with guns, and two dragging the deer down the path to the truck.
Suddenly, a black bear -- I would say about 400 pounds, from what I saw on the 2 minute video -- came charging out of the woods, bit the deer by it's throat, and hurled it about 30 feet back into the brush. The bear stood it's ground, making a couple of short rushes before claiming the deer and dragging it away. Brent and the others followed, shouting and shooting in the air. The bear dropped the deer and charged again, and Brent recorded a jumble of images as he scrambled away. (Bear Witch Project ???)
The clip ends with final footage (from a distance...lol) of the bear dragging the deer out of sight.
They went back the next day, and recovered the undamaged head and enough neck-cape to make a good wall-trophy. The bear was not seen, but the head was surrounded by piles of fresh dung, so Brent and friends made a quick exit.
Awesome story, and great footage. I'll get details of where to find the published story and see the video.
Hope you guys have fun hunting, but remember: you're not always at the top of the food-chain.
