Ex-Marine kills bear with log, gets ticket
Associated Press
Published on: 06/21/07 Helen, Ga., — A camping trip to Low Gap Creek Campground turned into a harrowing experience for Chris Everhart and his three sons when they tangled with a 300-pound black bear.
But the encounter last weekend proved fatal for the bear.
The bear had taken the Everharts' cooler and was heading back to the woods when 6-year-old Logan hurled a shovel at it.
Fearing what might happen next, the Norcross father and ex-Marine grabbed the closest thing he could find — a log.
"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Chris Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."
Everhart was given a ticket for failing to secure his camp site.
