Best Bear Deterrent: Crazy Way to Protect Yourself from a Bear

is that rake loaded with bullets :)

Beautiful to see the bears. I’m interested to know, if the bears are being feed daily like this, wouldn’t they become dependent upon the food and be less likely to learn natural survival practices like fishing etc. also would the bears get tamed in a way where they will not be bothered by humans which could cause them to get closer to human habitation which could lead to bears attacking?

[@joemarsh7505]

A fed bear is a dead bear. This guy might be confident around them but if somebody who doesn't know what they're doing shows up in this zone they could get into some trouble. Not really the sort of thing you want to show as a cool thing on TV.

You don't need to outrun a bear, you just need to outrun your slowest friend

Well don't try me I have no friends and I run and hike often. You're screwed if around me bud. 😅

Isn't feeding the bears habituating them to people?

[@Fishncanada]

They disposed of the food on an island miles away from where any people would be. The only time those bears see people is when the staff drops off the food. The staff quickly leaves after that.

Bears are smart, they know who that food comes from.@@Fishncanada

I'm 10,000 miles off. In a totally different climate with vastly different animals and hugely appreciate this tuition. Thank you! To control dominant animals from consuming all feed. Especially in harder times. Same with all animals. Feed in multiple locations. A few metres apart.

That's really interesting. Does that rake work on grizzlies? 😝

[@Fishncanada]

Ha... let us know because we aint' trying it!

Nice info friend

[@snugbug5067]

I"m curious about the method u use to haze or condition the bears to stay away. They are so intelligent that eventually they would learn the rakes are harmless. unlike the rubber non lethal rounds which at least cause them pain. maybe..for many the experience is scary enough to work all the time but u might find an individual bear who wont back down ! Knock on wood it wont happen.

Thank you、Thank you 😂😂🥰🥰

Ones the bear gets used to your bluffing tool they will see as a honey ham in their face

[@mrlafayette1964]

And if the bear charges you why you just give it a good raking lol.

357 is decent too. I also call them black bear composters.

[@philbertbrainstain]

It all seems quite altruistic and humane and sunshine and rainbows and lollipops and unicorns until the banquet comes to an unfortunate end and the bears stage a coup and make a banquet out of your sorry asses🐻
