A Great Anti-Hunting Ad

This is funny now that we know the guy is okay:

Lackey was bow hunting for black bears alone in one of his favorite drainages east of the reservoir, a place where he knew there were bears. Walking up a noisy creek surrounded by thick brush, he stopped for a break.

"I decided to stop on the side of the creek and take a leak," he said. "I was buttoning my pants up and I heard to my right, two huge crunches, two huge brush crashes. I looked to my right and the bear was already at full charge about 10 yards away. As I looked up at her, I saw two cubs running away in the opposite direction."

Lackey said he reached for his .44 magnum pistol, but his gun belt was still unbuckled and when he pulled at the pistol, the holster and belt "all came loose" with it."

In the half second that took, it wouldn't have done me a bit of good," he said. "She had the draw on me. I got caught with my pants down, literally."

Lackey said the bear hit him "like a ton of bricks," crushing into his right side as he raised his arm in defense.

It's probably a good thing this guy gave up bear hunting.
