[QUOTE="yukonjack, post: 1681486, member: 2939"] [I][/I][B] "All of a sudden the bear was right there. But it wasn't going for me – it was going for the other guy," said Arnatsiaq. Arnatsiaq jumped in between the two and [COLOR="#B22222"]shoved a hammer in the bear's mouth[/COLOR]. “What I did was poke the bear with the hammer and put the hammer in its mouth and pull to make him angry so it will go after me instead of going after that guy.[COLOR="#B22222"] Because I knew that guy had bullets in his pocket and that his rifle was not loaded,” said Arnatsiaq.[/COLOR]Arnatsiaq said the bear kept going for his friend and swatted Arnatsiaq away. Arnatsiaq grabbed the bear's fur and kept swinging the hammer. "And then we were fighting for a few minutes and then I missed my footing and almost fell. That's when the bear was going for my shoulder," he said. The bear bit into his hand which was covering his shoulder. At that point, the other hunters were finally able to shoot the bear and the cubs, which had joined in the fight. "It could have been worse, I'm fine, I'm ok," he said.[/B] [url]http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/story/2011/12/22/north-polar-bear-attack-igloolik.html?cmp=rss[/url] [/QUOTE]
