A man has been rescued after spending a week fighting off a grizzly bear in the Alaskan wilderness. With injuries to his leg and torso, and running on a mixture of adrenaline, sleep deprivation and just two remaining rounds of ammunition for his pistol, he was finally spotted by a Coast Guard pilot, Lieutenant Commander Jared Carbajal.
While flying between the Alaskan cities of Kotzebue and Nome, a Coast Guard helicopter crew spotted an SOS sign on top of a shack. Circling back over the remote mining camp, they found a man waving his hands in the air.

Jessee said that after firing a shot at the bear with his pistol, he escaped to his cabin. He told the newspaper that the bear attacked the cabin walls, windows and doors. "There was no doubt about it: The bear was trying to get into my cabin," Jessee said. "I don't know why it was so aggressive. Maybe it had cubs nearby."

Sometimes, you get the bear...
Sometimes, the bear gets you...

Anyone that goes into a heavily grizzly populated region thinking they'll be safe probably deserves to get eaten by a bear.

Still, I'm glad the doofus was finally rescued.

The moral of the story is...don't mess with grizzlies.

Kill the bear

Kill the bear

Why?


He was just being a bear and doing what bears do. The guy shot at him. If he had shot at me, I would be after him every night until I got him too.

I'm on team people.

I'm on team people.

Then stay out of the bear's turf.

I think that if I am going out into the Alaskan wilderness then I am taking more than a pistol and a few rounds. What's up with that?

Kill the bear

The guy was in the bear's home......the wilderness is where bears live.

If the bear broke into the guy's house and attacked
him, he'd be within his rights to shoot it.

I read another article where this guy admitted that he shouldn't have gone up there alone. He usually goes up with other people.

I wonder whether this bear is now wounded and if it's a mama bear with young, whether she may end up dying, leaving orphaned cubs.
