Bear unhappy about being shot in the backside took revenge by destroying hunter's car

A Russian hunter who shot and wounded a bear in the backside returned to his car hours later after failing to find the injured beast to discover it had been completely wrecked by the wounded animal. The hunter and two friends had been in a forest in central Russia's Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug region when he got the bear in his sights and fired a single shot.



But the bullet only wounded the bear after hitting it in the rear, and it quickly ran off before the hunter could kill it with a second shot. Because the animal was wounded the men spent several hours trying to find it to finish it off. They gave up after deciding that it could not have been too badly wounded as it had managed to quickly exit the scene, and there was not even a trail of blood to follow.



But they were able to pick up the trail again when they returned to the man's car, to find that the vehicle had been completely trashed by the angry bear. It had not only dented and scratched the bodywork but had broken lights, smashed the windscreen, torn out the interior and ripped off the rear bumper.

Interestingly two other cars belonging to the man's friends that were parked next to it were left untouched. The fact that the bear had carried out the revenge attack was clear from the paw prints in the mud, sparking speculation among the three that the bear realised the car owner was the one that shot him. The Russian Interior Ministry for KhMAO confirmed the attack and a police report was filed.
