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. 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.

😅 L O L !! 😂

[@ds37215]

A man can say no and really mean yes, because sometimes they're teases and give mixed signals that confuse bears, or they knowingly overlook good bears and go around bad bears just because they want it and are afraid to admit it. Plus, if he was drunk, sleeping or wearing the wrong outfit, then his no isn't really a no. That's why we should always get the bear's side of the story to confirm a man didn't want it, because the bear could clarify if the man is just setting out to hurt his reputation for sport.

[@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.

​@@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.

The only thing keeping me safe is that I live in Iowa and don't spend much time outside, let alone in the woods. The only real threats around here are coyotes, which I do hear on a regular basis but they seldom are seen in town, well at least not the town I currently live in anyway. And the occasional gray wolf may wander down from Minnesota but they don't stick around, apparently. At least the DNR claims there are no actual breeding packs around here. We do have a LOT of rattlesnakes, but they're easy to avoid. Realistic threat is the brown recluse spider and sometimes a black widow but the black widows don't seem to come after humans since we're too big to eat. Lol

The Bear's video goes like this: No fur, no scales, no fangs, venom or claws, just soft and pink! That was amazing!

Bear spray on a windy day what a great combination.

Why all good Guides pay attention to the direction the wind is blowing. Why you should only hire Experienced guides in Alaska.

He says in the comments that he was also carrying a .44 magnum in a chest rig. Just in case he needed to be a bit more... persuasive.

[@kingdomcitizenship5613]

If he was hungry and decided to rush you, there's nothing you could have done to keep anyone safe

[@CalebJacques]

There's a ton I could do lol. What a silly thing to say

[@bradbradford8576]

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 he was enraged, he might ignore bear spray, but he isn't enraged/protecting a kill/a mother bear with cubs/caught by surprise.

@@CalebJacques You’re being silly naive about this! They’re nothing to play with. You and “your group” might be okay cause you know how to behave, but you are conditioning him to being too close to humans to decide if he wants to attack or back off.

[@patriciaschmitt8254]

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

[@alton31ellis]

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]

@@alton31ellis 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

[@speedfreak8200]

Chill'in

[@PsychologicalApparition]

@@PackerManForLifeThe bear was obviously interested in these folks as he came up right near then sniffed at the air, seeking a cue. Like the OP says: he was assessing the situation.

If any makes contact with the eyes they cannot open their eyes, plain and simple.

[@ForrestMccroy]

This is 100% false

[@Talishar]

@@ForrestMccroy It's not. Several folks have been killed by bears while spraying the bear point blank right in the face. It keeps curious animals honest which is the vast majority of cases. It doesn't do a damn thing against a bear that's desperate to kill you because it hasn't eaten in weeks or extremely aggressive because you got too close to its cubs or startled the hell out of it and its now in fight mode. There have also been studies that some bears can build up a tolerance to it if they've been engaged with it several times. Much like pepper spray with humans. It's really effective when the person isn't committed and it's their first time. There're also some people where it has little effect at all. You see the same with dog spray. It also has a ridiculously short effective range. That means if the spray fails, you're now way too close to a very pissed off animal to engage with a firearm without taking some damage. This guy boasts about his 44mag that he carries not realizing that if the spray fails, he isn't getting that revolver out of its holster without getting mauled in the process. Most bear sprays have an effective range of around 10 ft. A bear can cover that distance in well under a second. That revolver isn't even going to clear leather before the bear gets to him. This is compounded by the fact that most bear sprays are deployed using two hands so it's difficult to have your revolver in one hand and the spray in the other.
