Bear mauls elderly man on tractor in this state's 1st bear attack in 25 years (Arkansas)

[Paystar]

A faster tractor? Some of these bears can move pretty fast.

Yep, no compact tractor going to outrun a bear. One time I went out in my yard to sneak up closer to a black bear to get some pics and some leaves crunched under my foot. That thing took off running and went straight up a maple tree so fast it was at that moment I realized I'm never doing that again because no way you'd ever get away from it.

Now I just have a wolf that actually headbutts my truck.
