Man Saves Son, Fights Off Bear With Stick

Grande Cache, Alberta - -(AmmoLand.com)- A 77-year-old man from Grande Cache, Alberta saved his son from a protective mother bear attack by beating the animal off with a walking stick.

Tom Wanyandie and his son James were taking a hike through the woods last Saturday looking for moose antlers to form into pieces of art when they encountered the bear and her cub. The bear lunged at James, and with no time to react, Tom attacked back.

“I was thinking about God and that he would protect us,” Tom said to Canada’s National Post. “With God in my head, I took that walking stick and beat the bear, then I shoved it down his throat.”

Tom suffered from a broken arm and several cuts and bruises, but his son is alive, thanks to his heroic efforts.

“He was a brave man. Not many people could fend off a bear like that,” James said. “We’ll probably go back into the woods together when we heal.”
