Bear chases bow hunter up tree, bites his leg :-) (OS animal story for the day?)
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20140905/us--washington-bear_attack-817e215941.html
LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — A bow-hunter was attacked by a bear while looking for deer near the southwest Washington city of Longview.
The 61-year-old Longview man, Jerry Hause, tells The Daily News (http://bit.ly/1oMQysG) he was sitting down to take a rest Monday when the bear came at him at a dead run.
Jerry Hause, 60, shows his bandaged leg after he suffered a bear attack while bow hunting, Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 in Longview, Wash. When Longview resident Jerry Hause headed out for Monday's bow hunting opener, he never imagined he would end up in a fight for his life with a black bear. (AP Photo/The Daily News, Shari Phiel )
Hause says he didn't have time to use his bow so he scrambled up a tree. The bear followed him and bit his left leg. It finally let go when Hause kicked it in the nose with his other foot.
