If you remain calm and act like you belong there, they will just walk away... well, that's what I've heard from people who have been in that situation.

Who knew the proper way to survive a bear attack was to say "what are you doing there?"

Mr. Cool indeed. However, I do think he was probably equipped with the tools to deter the bear in the more traditional way of the hunter if required...

Balls of steel, anyone?

Lol I love that startled embarassed look the bear gives before making its way down. Like it just got caught w/ its paw in the cookie jar.

What, so you people shoot them??

It's a Black Bear. Traditionally, they are not as aggressive and don't want anything to do with humans. They are, however, very curious. "The bear climbed over the mountain, to see what he could see." Generally, if you make yourself known to them, they will react just like that. A grizzly, on the other hand, would be like "OH BOY! TOY FOOD!"

I was keeping my eyes on the clock to decide at which point the hiker probably would be peeing his pants, or worse (I figured 2:05), and then... "Heeeye, what are you doing there?", in that sweet accent (Canadian?)... Omg! BEEEST!!!

Maybe the bear just wanted the hunter's delicious pic-a-nic basket.

"Hey, whatta ya doin' der? "Whatta ya doin' der?!"

That's just Minnesota-talk. Being a Minnesotan myself, allow me to translate for you:

"HOLY FU@KIN $HIT!! A BEAR!! GET THE FU@K OUT OF HERE BEAR!! GOO AWAAAYY!! (OH GOD, I THINK I JUST $HIT MY PANTS.)"

Why ''allegedly''? Looks pretty un-fake to me...

I think the "allegedly" was as to when it was taken.

It's just a black bear. Poor bear looked sad when he realized he should get down.
