A New York Boy Scout troop had a close encounter with a bear in the middle of the night.
Diana Nicols/ FacebookThe 12-year-old New York Boy Scout went on a camping trip with his local troop recently and woke up to find his leg in the mouth of a black bear,It all happened when he visited Harriman State Park with Troop 1254 from Cooperstown in early May.
Ayers said he was sleeping outside with his fellow scouts when he awoke to see a bear, who had apparently been looking for food around their campsite. “It moved my friend John, and then it moved me — but instead of grabbing my sleeping bag it grabbed my leg and it bit me,” Ayers told“It was absolutely crazy,” he added. “I mainly sat up and I screamed. There was a giant bear leaning right over me. I screamed and I kicked at it and it wandered back a little.”
The campers ended up moving to a different location. The bear returned to their campsite at least one more time looking for food., the scoutmaster, Diana Nicols, said that she was prepared to use bear spray if the animal got too close to the campers when it returned. But it kept its distance.Ayers wasn't seriously injured. He was"lightly bitten" and suffered some scratches and bruises on his leg, Nicols said on Facebook.
