| Bear attacks unlucky hunter in Finnish season opener |
| 2007-08-21 |
| A wounded bear attacked an unlucky hunter in Finland on the first day of the hunting season Monday, but the man survived suffering only a big fright and a few stitches, officials said. Together with two hunting buddies, the man was tracking a brown bear he had just wounded with a bullet in a thick forest in Kiite, in eastern Finland near the Russian border, when the bear released its anger on the shooter. The animal escaped another round of heavy-calibre fire and the jaws of the man's hunting dog before turning on the hunter. The bear bit the man in the arm and clawed his neck, head and back before the two other men succeeded in scaring off the animal and shooting it dead. Yes, folks, it was a bear-knuckle fight to the Finnish. |

| #5 Now see, if PETA had been there, the hunter could have used them for cover, then finished it off while it munching on the wackjobs. Is there laws against using protestors for bear bait? "If you cover yourself in honey, it scares the bears away." |

| #4 If one of them northern Browns laid a paw to him, then yes he's damned lucky to be alive. |

| #3 I wouldn't call this hunter 'unlucky' - sounds pretty lucky to be only lightly wounded (the bear is dead.) |

| #2 I'll bet the farm this guy pooped in his pants somewhere around the second shot. |
