Bear disarms Cordova hunter but shows mercy

Link: Cordova Times "An ordinary five-minute skiff ride from Cordova to Mud Bay on a deer hunting trip was how a weekend adventure started out for Cordovan Dan Burch," The Times writes. "Once he landed at Mud Bay, however, things went from ordinary to scary in a big, furry hurry." A brown bear rose out of the brush, took Burch's rifle in its mouth and tossed it aside. Burch assumed the fetal position and got batted a few times before the bear left him alone. "I still have the shakes, and it feels like I will never get that huge mouth and those teeth out of my mind," Burch said.
