Minnesota hunter armed with knife kills 525-pound black bear during attack

A Minnesota man managed to kill a 525-pound black bear with a knife after the injured bear attacked a group of hunters early Saturday morning.
KARE11.com reported that the group, which hunts every weekend from September to December, hit the bear with a bow and arrow earlier in the evening. But the bear was not fatally wounded. The hunters, considering the ethics and the meat, decided to track the bear, using its trail of blood as a guide.
They found the bear on the ground and assumed it was dead. But the bear, still bleeding from its wound, managed to charge at one of the hunters and mauled him.
"All of a sudden I heard him screaming," Craig Lindstrom, one of the hunters, told the news station. "Literally screaming, screaming and you knew he was being mauled."
The attacked hunter, who was not identified in the report, had a knife and was faced with few options. He began to plunge the knife into the bear about "20 times," Lindstrom told the station. The bear continued to maul the hunter's arm.
The bear died about 50 yards from where it was stabbed and it took 10 men hours to drag it back to camp, the report said. The hunter suffered two broken arms and various other wounds. He will undergo more surgery, the report said.
"We are going to mount that thing," Lindstrom told the station. "So this will be another story. It just happens to be the biggest one."

good thing tsa did not take his knife.
but but.... I use to see in the movies . the settlers and woodsmen /mountain men always killed grizzlies with just a bowie knife and most of the time they never even got a claw mark in return even Tarzan could kill a Lion with his knife
I can't imagine what it would be like with one twice that size and only a knife.
In that situation, adrenaline is your friend!
A neighbor of ours when I was a kid use to go up to Wisconsin every year bow hunting. He came back with monster bucks. One year he never returned on time. I mowed his yard. He was gone for weeks and weeks. Finally came back. He opened up his shirt where a big buck got up after being shot and gored him. It took its front paws and raked him also. He never got to bring that deer back but made it to the hospital just in time before bleeding to death. He killed it with his knife after approaching it when he thought it was dead.
To be fair, the guy started it.
The wounded bear did what a wounded bear does.
exactly,,
....will the bear be,O.K.??
I'm sure the taxidermist can sew up all the stab holes! [:D]
