A Madison man had a close encounter with a bear in his backyard Tuesday.

Richard Nace stuck his head out the window of his home on County Road to try and shoo the bear away, when the animal charged at him. He caught the whole encounter on video and posted the video on YouTube.

"It was amazing how fast it moved," Nace said.

He slammed the window on the bear's face and stayed inside. Nace called wildlife officials who planned to come out to the location at some point to try and deal with the bear.

The same animal has done damage in the same Madison neighborhood recently, according to Nace.
