The bruiser began biting at Warnock’s legs, shredding his jeans at the knees, then latching onto his right knee. “I thought, ‘fight back, fight back.’ “I just had to bluff him back and say, ‘No, I’m going to put up a fight.’”That’s when Warnock decided to punch the bear in the nose. Warnock received 30 stitches, some on his ring finger and his left knee, but most of them were around his right knee. He said there may be some minor nerve damage to his right leg but he feels lucky that the bear was not fully grown. “They’re pretty formidable, grizzly bears,” Warnock said of the animals he’d seen a couple of times from a distance while hunting deer.
