What would Chuck Norris have done?

[VPR-KLR]

A bowhunter in Idaho who had shot an elk the night before and was tracking it by a trail of blood found his quarry - and a grizzly bear that was claiming the dead animal.

The unidentified man was bitten on the shoulder by the ferocious bear near Sheridan Creek, west of Shotgun, in Clark County, according to an Idaho Department of Fish and Game report. He and his hunting partner, who were not carrying guns or bear repellant, were following the elk’s blood trail when they saw the grizzly bear's tracks. They came face-to-face with the bear when they found the carcass of the bull elk, according to the Island Park News.

The bear charged them, according to the report, biting one hunter on the shoulder before running back to guard the carcass. The hunters fled, hiking four miles out of the wilderness before driving to the Ashton Medical Clinic, where the hunter was treated for minor injuries and released.

The victim is from Michigan and was described as an experienced bowhunter, according to the report. The state agency and the United States Forest Service are investigating the encounter.

Idaho officials said that because the bear appeared to only defend its food and did not act more aggressively, they will not send agents to investigate the scene until the bear has had a chance to consume the carcass, said Gregg Losinski, IDFG Regional Conservation Educator.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure Mr. Norris would have employed the roundhouse kick to the head. I, on the other hand, would have slowly backed away before breaking out into an all-out sprint.

If the bear recognized Chuck, he would have run away... Nobody messes with Chuck's kill.

I don't see anything that surprises me or that needs to be investigated by the authorities. Looks like normal behavior to me.

Why would Chuck Norris need a bow to kill an elk? It looks like he could just have spit on it.

WWCND? He'd slap the dog leash back on his Grizzly and scold him for running off with their dinner!

Maybe they're going to investigate the hunters to make sure they weren't fabbing up some story about why he got bitten?
