Here is a story of a man who got lucky! Go ahead and mess around. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you!!
Man Armed With Knife Kills Hungry Bear
WILLIAMS LAKE, British Columbia - John Hirsch went toe-to-claw with a black bear - and won.
Hirsch had only a 3 1/2-inch knife blade when he came across the bear in his backyard in Williams Lake, about 190 miles northeast of Vancouver.
"He came out of nowhere," said Hirsch, 61, an avid hunter and outdoorsman.
"I can remember thinking that he's not stopping - he's coming," said Hirsch. "I just didn't feel I had any place to go."
He was attacked Oct. 29 while checking on the 15 turkeys he and his wife, Sharon, raise on their spread.
As the bear began to circle him, Hirsch faced it like a wrestler in a ring.
"It was like a knife fight that you'd see in an old-time Western," he said. The bear swatted out at him, but each time it lunged, he managed to stab it.
"I couldn't tell you if the fight lasted three seconds or three minutes," Hirsch said.
Three stabs to the bear's chest and one to its neck finally did the bruin in.
It stood about 5 foot 7 inches to Hirsch's 5 feet 9 inches and weighed 200 pounds, according to conservation officers who inspected it.
"I can say it sure looked smaller the next morning than it did during the fight," said Hirsch.

A noted bear photographer who argued bears are the equivalent to humans was killed by a bear in his tent along with his companion.
During the ruckus a recorder was tripped. You could hear the girlfriend saying lie still and pretend to be dead. You then hear the crunching sound and screams. He ask his girlfriend to hit the bear.
A plane flew over and saw bodies on the ground. Returned with a Ranger and was attacked by the same bear. The Ranger killed the bear.
While loading the bodies on the plane they were attacked by another bear which the Ranger also killed.
If only the photographer had a gun he would probably be alive today!
