Default Bear Attack in Ontario

A 65-year-old Winnipeg man is home recovering after being attacked and nearly killed by a black bear near Sioux Lookout, ON this past weekend.

Gord Shurvell was getting ready to go fishing around 6 a.m. Saturday morning when he made a pit stop to the outhouse.

Just as he was about ready to leave, Shurvell said he came face to face with a black bear.

The 250 pound animal squeezed its way in, grabbed Shervell by the shoulder and dragged him out of the outhouse.

"He comes up and I knew, I knew he meant business then," he said. "Like I've been on the bush a lot and with bears and that (but I) never, never dreamed of this."

Unable to get free, Shervell said the bear then grabbed him by the back of the neck.

Luckily, his friend of 55 years who was in the chalet heard his screams.

The 63-year-old man rushed outside with a gun and shot and killed the bear....
