A Massachusetts police department has issued an extremely specific request to residents: Please don't get drunk and chase bears through the woods with a hatchet.
"If you see a bear, LEAVE IT ALONE and call us," a post on the department's Facebook page read. "We certainly don't need anyone going all Davy Crockett chasing it through the woods drunk with a dull hatchet. It is just a bad idea and not going to end well."
According to the post, a man was taken into protective custody after committing such an act.
"We are still trying to figure out what his end game was," the post continued. "Any thoughts on what he was going to do if he did locate it? We would certainly like to hear because we have no idea."
