UPDATE: The hunter who was attacked went back to kill the bear.

It's not editorializing to say Richard Wesley is lucky to be alive and unharmed after being attacked by a black bear while hunting in northern Ontario, Canada.

The man was hunting near Fire River, Ontario recently, and Wesley recorded video during his Spring hunt of a confrontation with a black bear. The bear comes into the picture about 25 seconds into the video as the man raises his wooden bow.

Wesley is working to get a shot -- admittedly for a little too long -- as the bear reacts, sprints towards him and lunges.

The video of a bear attacking a man below contains swearing:

"I am so happy after this confrontation with a black bear during our spring hunt. No wounds except a bruised elbow and ego where the bear threw me down," Wesley wrote on YouTube. "Genuinely happy that this was a non fatal or tragic outcome.

"Proving that the black bear is a wild and unpredictable animal. Again so happy with the outcome."
