With a bow and arrow in hand, this guy encountered a black bear on a trail. The wild animal charged him and tackled him to the ground before he could run awa...
I was looking for black bear videos after @Darthsenio_Mall's recent post and found this lol.
That's how the monster in the book The Relic is finally brought down and I think the protagonist even mentions killing a bear.
It's a really good book and so is the sequel if you like sci-fi murder misteries with horror elements.
