I was reading a thread asking “what’s the largest animal you think you could take?” Then, I thought to myself “have I ever fought an animal?” Excluding my fellow man, or hunting for sport, I’ve never actually fought an animal. I read stories about, wild dogs, bear attacks, mountain lion encounters, and a crazy goose here and there but the vast majority of us have never actually fought an animal, (being bitten by a hamster doesn’t count) so, for the ones who have, what’s your story?

I was camping with a group when I was young. The kid next to me sleeping outside under the stars had gum. A bear came up in the night and when I sat up he hit me in the chest. Still the hardest hit I ever took in my life. When other people woke up and the bear ran off, it was a cub maybe 50-60 lbs. Bears are incredibly strong. I had a dinner plate sized black bruise on my chest for over a month.
