A deer hunter in a tree shot a black bear that began climbing up the tree toward him after it got within a few feet of him, an officer in America said.

The man went out hunt for a deer on Saturday morning when he made noise that drew the young male bear's attention. The bear, is about 85 to 100 pounds, then began climbing up one of the tree after the man, which was 10 to 12 feet high.

The hunter shouted at the bear several times, hoping to make it away , but the bear kept climbing. The hunter shot the bear when it was about 3 feet away because he was worried his safety. The man had to fire at the bear. The bear fell out of the tree and landed on the ground. The hunter left the tree and soon found a fisherman nearby, and they called the police.

It's unclear if the bear was trying to attack the hunter or if it smelled something on him, such as the food from him.

The hunter had first noticed the bear walking in the area about an hour before the shooting happened. Wildlife officials say the hunter wasn’t against the American laws which protect the dangerous animals in the wild world.
