This bear seemed to have found the ideal place to spend the winter: a crawl space under a house in California. However, he didn’t expect to be chased away with paintball guns.
South Lake Tahoe native Toogee Sielsch is a nature enthusiast and has shared several videos and photos of animals he has encountered on his adventures. The most recent dates from December 26.
On the video, we then see the man armed with a paintball gun crawling to get under the house. After Toogee Sielsch fires a few shots, the bear quickly comes out of its hiding place.
Finally, we see the man come out, mentioning how big the animal was, at least 500 lbs.
“I found “a bear” that I hadn’t seen since the beginning of November […] Then I had to kick him out from under an occupied house he had broken into […] I promise you that he is doing very well and that he will surely find another safer place to spend the winter,” the Californian wrote in the description of the video.
The latter also clarified that this experiment should not be attempted at home.
“Don’t even THINK about doing what I did there unless you have YEARS of training and experience!” he added.
