Moment hunter is attacked by a black bear caught on camera
This hunter is very lucky he survived a bear attack with only minor injuries.
There's no doubt that this hunter is very lucky to be alive.
Richard Wesley was bow hunting near Fire River, Ontario when he spotted a large black bear roaming in the distance. The bear seemed to be unfazed by the hunter, until the hunter tried to scare it off.

Suddenly the bear started charging towards the man and within seconds the bear lunged at him, pinning him to the ground. Wesley punched the bear in the face as his camera fell to the ground. A few seconds later the hunter picked the camera up, visibly shaken by the attack.
"I should have shot a long time ago," Wesley says into the camera just seconds after the attack. Luckily Wesley only suffered a bruised elbow.
He is one lucky man!
