Smacking a Black Bear

Occurred on May 17, 2025 / Schefferville, Quebec, Canada

Info from Licensor: "I was riding back from the mines in a truck I borrowed, and a Mama Bear came out of the bushes in front of the truck. So I stopped. Two juvenile bears climbed into the back of the truck and began eating garbage I didn't know was in there. One of them wouldn't get out. I even slapped it trying to get it out! Because people are feeding them, they're getting less and less afraid of people. I finally got it to move by threatening it with a pickaxe."
