After setting up her tent and campsite she grabs her camera case and notebook and headed into the forest. France came across a female screech owl sitting on its nest and started taking pictures. Since the owl was still she didn’t use the video option on her camera.
She smelled something foul, then heard a low growl. As she slowly turned she saw a small black bear standing behind her just to her right. She couldn’t help wondering where its mama was.
The bear growled harder and she felt herself freeze in place. France was sweating because of the hot day, but started to feel cold. She slowly went to reach for her bear spray in her belt, on her right side.
Suddenly that’s when the bear got hold of her right forearm. She had to reach for the bear spray with her left hand. She turned toward it and sprayed. That only caused the bear to shake its head while biting down harder on her arm. It pulled her so hard she fell on her knees almost facing the bear. France heard a snap and prayed the bear stepped on a branch and that it wasn’t her arm breaking.
She thought she was dead, for sure. The bear was not willing to let go. France didn’t feel any pain, yet. She was just scared; very scared, and started shaking. She kept telling herself not to panic. Once feeling in control she decided to spray the bear again, thinking only to aim directly for its eyes and nose.
The bear finally let go France got up and ran like hell.
