Don't Poke the Bear

Occurred on March 26, 2021 / Clemenceau, Saskatchewan, Canada

Info from Licensor: "My father and I were falling trees for our sawmill when we noticed a fallen tree with quite a large hole under the roots. We had been standing right beside the tree discussing our plan for the day when we got thinking that it could be a bear den. With my phone and small pocket knife, I decided to check it out. Once I got up to the opening and leaned in with my phone a black bear's big paw swiped towards me. I stopped videoing and backed up from the hole. In a split second the bear burst out of the hole. In my attempt to get away I found myself in the dirt with the bear standing over me. My father was yelling and running towards me and the bear retreated back into its den. Upon further inspection of my video we realized there were at least two other bears in the den as well."
