Hunter Injured in Washington Bear Attack
So while hunter was after Bear, Bear was doing a little hunting itself

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060423/ap_on_re_us/bear_attack;_ylt=AsUI.hsFsR0zOn_91A61sDGs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--

FORKS, Wash. - A black bear attacked and seriously injured a hunter on a road just outside Olympic National Park late Saturday, authorities said.

A second hunter shot and killed the bear before summoning help, said Larry Evans, a shift supervisor for the Washington State Patrol's office in Bremerton.

The injured hunter, whose name wasn't released, was rushed to Forks Hospital with a compound fracture to the arm, a broken hand and several bite marks, Evans said. The victim lost a significant amount of blood, but was expected to survive, Evans said.

The bear had apparently dragged the man away from the site of the attack before it was shot, Evans said.

Troopers said they receive occasional reports of cougar attacks in the area, but bear attacks are relatively rare.

Forks is a small town near the northwest edge of Olympic National Park, one of Washington state's most popular attractions for hunters, anglers and other nature lovers

Kinda like the joke of the hunter who saw a bear, shot at it...the smoke clears and he feels a tap on his shoulder. There is the bear and the bear explains that he can either choose to be mauled, or drop trou' and do the Brokeback routine.
The hunter chooses the latter.
He returns again to the woods with a bigger rifle, shoots, the smoke clears and he feels the tap on his shoulder. Same bear, same result.
Now multiply abused and embarrased he returns to the woods with the larges RIFLE he can find. Finds the bear, shoots and the smoke clears. Two trees are split by the shockwave. Then he feels the familiar tap on his shoulder and he turns to find the bear. The routine repeats.
The hunter goes to the back streets of the city, finds an arms dealer and gets this huge shoulder fired missile. Goes out into the woods and tracks the bear. He finds the bear sights, squeezes the trigger and half a mountain disappears. He is standing there in victory when he feels a now familiar tap on his shoulder. He turns and finds the bear looking at him.
"Hey Buddy," asks the bear, "I am just guessing, but you aren't doing this for the hunting are you?"
