HELEN, Ga. - A former Marine killed a bear with a single blow Ã¢â‚¬â€ by tossing a log at its head.

The bear had snatched the family's cooler from their campsite in a national forest in northern Georgia. The 300-pound black bear was taking its loot back into the woods when Chris Everhart's 6-year-old son threw a shovel at it.

Everhart says the bear started charging, so he grabbed the first thing he could find, which happened to be a log from the family's firewood.

Everhart lobbed the chunk of wood, hitting the bear in the head and killing it.

"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."

The close call earned Everhart bragging rights Ã¢â‚¬â€ and a ticket. Park authorities say he didn't properly secure his campsite.

How the hell do you kill a bear by throwing a !@#$% log at it? What is he, Fist of the North Star?

I heard Marines were tough, but this !@#$% is just bananas.

Well he's a !@#$%ing idiot for camping with his son near bears in the first place! Actually he's really an idiot for not keeping his campsite in such an order that bears wouldn't raid it in the first place, which is exactly why he got the ticket. So, everything works out in the end. Logged

My dad and I go camping in North GA each year, and while we make sure we don't leave trash lying around the site and put all food in airtight containers, we don't really expect to see any bears during our trips. Guess we should be a bit more careful. Logged
