I agree with both, but I do see how it could happen. I know a biologist that works around bears all the time. He was hunting for hogs, had a .22 and got on a group of hogs. He was on the ground in tall palmettos. He shot a black pig and piglet, the others ran off. He sat and a couple minutes later the palmettos were moving and all he could see was black hair above the palmettos moving and black hair in between the palmettos, safety is off ready to go, adrenaline pumping, etc. Turned out to be a bear, and was very close to being a shot bear. That is a bit of a rare occurence but they happen.
This is another reason we have a little more strict pig regulations is because of bears.
