We cull the internet in search of the latest outdoors-related tidbits — YouTube clips, photos, memes, you name it. Stuff you HAVEN’T seen before, hopefully. If it’s amusing, entertaining, educational or astonishing, you’ll find it here. Check back every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and see what’s new.
This is a friendly public service reminder to go ahead and really make sure that animal is well and truly dead before you approach it. Especially if it’s a bear.
Not doing so is inhumane, and, frankly, REALLY dangerous, as the young hunter in this video found out the 
hard way.
Even though the bear was hit three times — AND fell out of a tree — it still had enough fight left in it to claw the hunter up pretty good.
Bears will let out what is known as a death moan right before they die — although even that isn’t a guarantee.
So I guess the message is this: stay frosty out there. Animals are dangerous. One swipe is enough to send you to the ER.

Serves him for not taking the first safe rule: Check yr game at a safe distance, never run-up on it until you do.

I’ve enjoyed buying from your company over the years.

It probably is more difficult telling when a bear is dead than a deer. If the bear does not do the death growl or moan.

That’s why you always wait until the animal has had time to pass!!

First of all: I hope the young’n is O.K. I live in the mountains on the Tennessee-North Carolina border. When bear season is open,as it is now,so-called bear hunters ride all over these hills in their trucks. All they do is talk to each other on their radios. When the dogs strike a trail they drive around like a bunch of maniacs! The major state highway that runs through these hills is a border between bear reserve and legal hunting ground. So-called bear hunters will stand right on the edge of the highway and ambush the bears when they try and cross! Now,I have nothing against bear hunting,but do it right! Hunt the old way. Follow the dogs on foot!

The last bear we shot was surrounded by a 7’ circle pool of blood it bled out very quickly.
