Hero Saves Man During Bear Attack With One Smart Move: WATCH

A Pennsylvania man is a hero after stepping up to save his neighbor during a bear attack.

We see a lot of crazy stuff when it comes to the animal thunderdome and OutKick Outdoors (make sure to have the page bookmarked for the best content on the internet).

Whether it's hunting content or general nature content, the stream of wild content never ends, and that leads us to a truly terrifying situation that unfolded in Pennsylvania.

Man stops bear attack by slinging some lead.

Mike Bramich is a hero after he iced a bear that was attacking his neighbor in Jim Thorpe, PA, according to WNEP. The black bear attacked the man after coming out of the woods near a market.

That's when Bramich pulled out a gun and blasted the thing in order to make sure his neighbor would survive the attack.

"It just up and jumped on him and grabbed him by the arm and wrestling him around here, I had no choice but to kill the bear so that's what I did…I just did what I needed to do, a man's life was at stake. The bear was trying to get to his throat, so I did what I did, I had to do it," Bramich explained.

You can watch some footage of the attack below, and make sure to let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

What's one of the things I say I never do when it comes to nature? What do I never go into nature without? A gun.

Whether it's a rifle or a pistol, you're almost certainly never going to find me out in nature unarmed. This situation right here is a perfect example of why that's my mindset.

You never know what animal a human might come up against. Better to have a gun and not need it than need one and not have it. It might be a curtain call if you find yourself in the latter situation.

Fortunately, Mike Bramich had access to a weapon and used some quick thinking to end the threat the black bear represented to his neighbor. That's the kind of intervention we love to see.
