Little ray of sunshine

| Does anybody know what the guy was doing? It seems like a chance encounter with the bear. Maybe he should have moved the other way when he originally saw the bear or when it continued to come in his direction, but it is a little hard to get context from a video. I have encountered black bears on several of occasions, and they just kept going and doing whatever bear thing they were doing. I'd say the closest I ever was to one out in the woods was 60 or 75 yards, and it wasn't moving in my direction.
The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. |

The guy didn't try to walk away, got his bow in position to shoot, and draws the bow like he's never done it before.

I clicked on the embedded video and the YouTube description says: quote: I am so happy after this confrontation with a black bear during our spring hunt. No wounds except a bruised elbow and ego where the bear threw me down. Genuinely happy that this was a non fatal or tragic outcome. Proving that the black bear is a wild and unpredictable animal. Again so happy with the outcome.
