Man Beats Bear to Death

jimwestAnyone with an iq score above a god forsaken 70, understands that any mother in their right mind would do whatever it takes to protect their children. Whether it’s from old fashioned abuse, or the pantsless man that stands on the other side of the school ground fence touching him self in a disgusting fashion. In this case the protected were just a couple of bear cubs.However, the mother was a furious black bear.

October 4, 2008 British Columbia native Jim West was out walking his precious little dogs when they led him directly into the path of the beast. This was a moment that would have sent the majority of men home to change their piss soaked manties. However, Jim is on an entirely different level then the majority of men. He didn’t run, or hide. He didn’t make a poor attempt at playing dead. Hell, he didn’t even wait for the bear to attack before unleashing his manliness.

“I turned when I heard a grunt. All I saw was eyes full of hatred … I had no option … So I stuck my foot up and tried to kick her in the face.”

It was a bold decision. One in which he might have been thinking twice about while lying on the ground with the mother hovering above him. The animal was relentless as it continually ravaged and mangled its much smaller opponent in Mr. West.

After withstanding brutal amounts of punishment, the man pulled himself out of the grasps of the beast, and somehow managed to get to his feet. Inches from sure death, he picked up a stick no thicker than his arm and struck the bitch right between the eyes, breaking his branch in two. With the bear stunned, he took the remaining half he had in his hands and continued hammering on the head of the bear. This repeated motion was reminiscent of the way a cave man would have clubbed his…..prey.

Not only did this man bring down an angry mother bear. Severely wounded, he navigated through one kilometer of bush to the nearest lodge. It took 60 stitches just to close the major gashes all over his body. Next time your feeling tough let this be a reminder. Until you can bring down a beast 5 times your size with your bare hands, you will never in your wildest dreams be as manly as Jim West.  Bear Slayer.

    He used a stick, not his bare hands.

    Huuuuuuge difference between a black bear (the bear that attacked him) and a grizzly bear.

    Black bears: about 250-500 lbs, about 6 ft tall.

    Grizzly bears: about 1000 lbs, 8 ft tall.

    Still damn impressive, but I’m tellin ya: if it was a grizzly, all you’d see is this guy’s shoe in grizzly bear poop.

    Thanks Bruno, article has been fixed, there was a bit of mismatched information. Like you said though, either way, the guy has balls of steel.

  • MR MIKE said:

    Mike not bad story. I had a relative who was killed from a black bear . there not as big like a grizzly but if you have a black bear on you, best to fight for all your might chances are, it will try to kill you on the stop.

  • Mike said:

    I’m sorry to hear about your relative, and yes we agree they are beyond dangerous. We apologize if the humorous undertones were a tad much, we just try to add something funny to the situation.

    This guy is lucky! He lays down three times and doesn’t get killed? wow something was protecting him until he got to that stick. Amazing the bear went down with that stick.

    He’s lucky to be alive!

  • Tim said:

    What was protecting him was the pure manliness flowing through his veins. Jim only laid down to give the bear a chance at saving its own life. It refused to heed Jim’s warning and as a result, Jim had to deliver the ass kicking of the century.
