Huge Grizzly Bear Gets A Warning ⚠️

[@CalebJacques]

I am armed with a 44Magnum. I am an experienced Bear Safari Guide and if you guide long enough, you run into bears like this one which approached us. The best thing you can do is stand your ground, have your bearspray ready, and make yourself big and loud when necessary. In over a decade working around THESE bears, on THIS river, I have never needed to deploy my firearm. ADVENTURE RESPONSIBLY ⚠️

[@patriciasawyer24]

Bear spray would pass them off😂

[@CalebJacques]

@patriciasawyer24 bear spray is a highly effective deterrent. Check out what the park service says about bear spray. I personally have used bear spray a number of times on problem bears with a great success rate. Brown bears come around the lodge, and when they do, sometimes you have to forcefully get them to leave. You have to understand your weapon for it to be effective. Most people greatly over estimate the distance bear spray is effective. It's about 10 feet. Outside that beat spray has no PRACTICAL effect.

He’s old. Can’t tell how old but old and he looks a bit thin, not sure what kind of eating season he’s had but a hungry bear is a ready to roll bear. I was injured in a bear encounter in Alaska 25 years ago. I was NOT attacked but I still spent two weeks in the hospital. To this day I see grizzly bears and feel my heart rate go up. They’re just so big in real life! I was camping, I exited the tent and my situational awareness was not peak, I had a major lapse in judgment and walked through a bear path without realizing I’d crossed between a mother and cubs. I was not a threat, it was midsummer so they were well fed, and I did the only thing I knew to do: Go fetal, cover my neck and head. She ran towards me and I dropped. No point in running, climbing or swimming, they have us beat. She wasn’t feeling terribly aggressive toward me, she was curious though. She used her paw to push me, to check me out…I can still smell her fur and hot breath. She was snuffling around me checking me out and sort of batting me around to see what I was made of. It felt like hours but was probably more like 30-45 seconds. I had lacerations all along my midsection and thighs, I also had a broken clavicle, punctured lung, and ruptured disc. She didn’t want to hurt me, but they’re just that strong. I couldn’t even yell, the wind was knocked out of me and I couldn’t breathe. I had a major infection from her paw flora that’s why the hospital stay was so long. Respect bears, they’re awesomely powerful.

[@NeverjudgeabookBecute]

I read a comment on another video the other day. The man in that comment said the brown bear that attacks and mauls you , that bear you will not see until it’s on you. It will most likely be in a thick brushy area and when you hear the first branch break behind or beside you , you have 1 to 2 seconds before the bear basically runs over you and the impact will be hard, then it will turn around and attack with claws and teeth. He claim 95 percent of encounters in the more open places when they act aggressive, it’s because they want you to leave, the threat display is to avoid having to fight with you. They don’t normally announce their attack, it will be an ambush type of attack. He claimed to live in an area where there was a grizzle for every square mile. As I read his words they seemed to make perfect sense. They said particularly many bears get sprayed making them gain a strong dislike for people walking around in their territory when there wasn’t really cause to deploy that spray. Something to consider I think.

I've been a rather shy person my entire life who didn't put bullies in their place until one day I couldn't take it anymore from this man at work and I stood my ground with him and told him to never talk to me nor come near me, and I said standing tall, I was fierce, he knew I meant it, and he froze, I saw tears well up in his eyes, and he walked away and never bothered me again. Stand your ground is an important skill that I learned rather late in life, but at least learned it.

If he's hungry, he would be more cautious about his approach, unless he's killed and eaten people before. He would circle them and test their defenses before committing to an attack.

If that bear decided to charge, it would get you by the time you could pull the trigger.

[@noahj.1232]

It’s not in a charging posture, it’s not behaving aggressively, it’s not trying to stalk them, bear spray is effective at around that range, and bears are extremely unlikely to attack large groups. I believe the stat is that nobody in a group of four or more has ever been killed by a wild bear in the wilderness. Even though this looks dangerous, it was a very safe encounter

omfg i get so many thousands of comments from people saying this stuff lol. Treadwell was an idiot who thought bears were his friends, and he died because he didn't have a gun on him.

[@fifiladu2659]

We absolutely agree on Timothy Treadwell, lol. I get the gun readiness; 6 of my kids are military members and another one one is a police officer. But a grizzly’s movements that close are still unpredictable, and they can be pretty darn quick as well. Lots of people think they have a situation under control until they don’t. I’m not underestimating your attack prowess. I’m just not underestimating the grizzly’s either.

[@CalebJacques]

Yeah after a while of being around them you learn what they are like and they are really pretty predictable. A lot more so than say a traffic stop. Cops are in way more danger on a daily basis than I ever was around these bears. That said I've had bluff charges and such and it's nerve wracking at times especially if you got 20 bears within a 100 yards of you. Staying on your toes and treating them like wild animals is vital to staying alive out there. Stay safe. Best wishes for you and your children.

[@williamlangeii4012]

​@@CalebJacquesOr bc he fu%ked around with bears instead of just letting them live. You go into their home territory and they maul one of your customers or you and then the park service tracks him down and kills him bc you're an idiot. If you need to bring a gun where you're going that's a red flag that you shouldn't go there. I'm a legal gun owner and I have it to protect my family incase someone breaks into my house. However, if I took a gun and broke into someone else's house with a gun on me I'd go to jail bc I'm wrong. Just like this. Stay away from the bear and you both get to live.

[@patriciaschmitt8254]

His ears were forward and in a relaxed position. He was troting not charging.

[@MountainStreamLives]

Charging is more of a defensive behavior. This one stopped chasing the salmon, looked at the people, began scent profiling the wind coming from them and then made a precarious small step toward them to center his body to them so that he could chase if we wanted to. The read was correct by the guide and the verbal command was obviously a useful cue to stop the curious probing this bear was beginning to display.

[@PackerManForLife]

@@MountainStreamLives while, yes, the guide was correct in being defensive, this bear 100% had no interest in anything to do with the people. You see the red salmon in the water mid video. The bear sees them too and follows them as the salmon went downstream. However, the people are too close for the bears desire. When the bear follows the salmon but gets too close to the people , it stops. The bear was guaging whether to follow the salmon while being uncomfortably close to people, or to ditch the salmon while prioritizing it's own comfort & safety. There was definitely no aggressive intent by the bear
