Ha Ha Clinton-Dix crossed paths with 2 bears & lived to tell the tale

Former Chicago Bears safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix might’ve left Chicago for the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, but surely there’s no hard feelings.

Unless you count two random bears (as in actual bears) that might’ve had a bone to pick with him.

Clinton-Dix posted a video to Instagram of his close encounter with a mama bear and her cub while he was riding his scooter. And it was certainly a close call.

Fled from those bears it was a RB carrying the ball!

I'm a bit disappointed they don't seem to say where this happened, Haha Twitter says Orlando Florida, so maybe it happened there?

If thinking, I probably would have froze and tried not to move and slowly back away, all while keeping the scooter as a potential if needed weapon to swing.

At least that's what I've been taught to do, when going into known bear areas, as if you just run, they might chase. Being caught off by seeing Bears in the city like that, who knows lol.

Also I always found those scooter hard to ride since being taller, but maybe that's just me.

And some people say he doesn't have any speed.

But I also know my first instinct is to freeze; not to run. And while this instinct might be absolutely horrible against a large predator, due to my size not many people or animals have decided to mess with me (except things with wings, as they just don't give a F***), I hate wasps and geese lol. #GeeseGetOFFtheSidewalkImWalkingHere lol

The only reason running is wrong is that it can set off a predator to chase and attack. And the biggest danger Dix was up against was that it was a mother with a cub. If she thought her cub was in danger, she would have attacked.
I actually had a VERY close encounter with a huge black bear. I was bow hunting for deer in northern Wisconsin. I was sitting on the ground, when I heard something in the brush coming towards me. I thought it was a deer, so I got on my knees and readied my bow.....out of the brush comes this bear, running straight at me! I knew my bow would do no good, so I dropped it and pulled out my Buck knife. I figured if it was gonna kill me, I’d at least get in a few blows.
I stood up, waved my arms and yelled “HEY! Get outta here!” It stopped, “woofed!” At me. I yelled at it again “GET OUTTA HERE!!!”
It woofed again, turned and ran. After it disappeared into the woods I started shaking uncontrollably!
I walked off the distance it was at when it stopped, and it was about 25 yards. Sounds like a lot, but it could have covered that distance in a couple seconds. Quite a adrenaline rush!

I have always felt mine would be to freeze too but that i the funny thing about instinct, you just don't know what you are going to do until after it is all over and you think, "What the %^$* just happened?"
Haha may well freeze 50 times out of 100. Run 20 times out of 100. Wet himself 30 times. Soil himself 15 times. Yeah it more than 100. Who says you can't do more than one thing at a time? 😆

Cool story Cheesey.

Thanks WPR!
I was hunting with a friend of mine. We had split up and agreed to meet back at the car at noon. We got back to the car at the same time. I still had on my camo face mask, and he asked me if I had seen anything. I said “no deer, but I shouted down a bear”....he said “yeah! Sure you did!” I took off my face mask and said “does it look like I’m joking?” ( it had just happened a couple minutes earlier)
His eyes got WIDE! He knew I wasn’t kidding!😂

Zero2Cool (3h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (4h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (4h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (4h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
