:thumbup: The bear had snatched the family's cooler from their campsite in a national forest in northern Georgia. The 300-pound black bear was taking its loot back into the woods when Chris Everhart's 6-year-old son threw a shovel at it.
Everhart said the bear started charging, so he grabbed the first thing he could find, which happened to be a log from the family's firewood.
Everhart lobbed the chunk of wood, hitting the bear in the head and killing it.
The close call earned Everhart bragging rights -- and a ticket. Park authorities said he didn't properly secure his campsite.
