He describes the harrowing attack and what he felt 😲

Jeremy Evans, an experienced hunter from Alberta, Canada, ventured into the woods on August 24, 2017, hoping to spot a Bighorn ram. Instead, he came face to face with a far more dangerous creature — a massive grizzly bear.

Hidden among the trees, Evans had just spotted a ram through his binoculars when he noticed something large and brown charging toward him. “I knew exactly what it was,” he told Noiser. “I knew I was in trouble.” Moments later, the mother bear appeared less than ten feet away.

Before Evans could grab his bear spray, the grizzly lunged. “Her claws were out, her mouth open — she was on a full charge,” he recalled. He threw his bike at her to buy time and climbed a tree, but she caught his leg and dragged him down.

The attack was brutal. “My left eye was hanging out of the socket,” Evans told the Daily Mail. “My jaw was hanging, and my teeth were exposed.” Severely wounded, he realized how close he was to death.

After the bear left, Evans found pieces of his own scalp on the ground. Believing he wouldn’t survive, he tried to end his life — but his gun jammed. “That scared me a little,” he said. “So I decided I was going to try to make it out.”

Bleeding heavily, he texted farewell messages to his wife: “Whoever finds this, please let my wife know I tried to make it.” Another message read, “I am very tired. If I pass out, I won’t wake up.”

Miraculously, Evans managed to drive 22 kilometers to safety before collapsing.

He spent five weeks in the hospital, enduring multiple surgeries. Though still recovering, his survival remains one of the most remarkable grizzly attack stories ever told.
