On September 6th, 2024 This 12 Year Old Boy Killed A Bear As It Attacked His Father

[@mello3214]

Amazing this young son could keep his wits about him and protect his father! So proud he did! Thanks Addicus this one was incredible ❤👍

[@metalmamasue3680]

That's one hunt they will never forget. Well done Owen. Helping save your dad.

[@mitchellculberson9336]

This young hunter is a natural American boy.Hunts with his dad & loves the outdoors.My dad & I were like this when I was a boy.Him saving his dad's life was a natural reaction.Don't blame the bear he was just defending himself.

[@repetemyname842]

The state record black bear in WI weighs over 800lbs. Now, I dont know how many 800 pounders are running around out there but I can guarantee you we have all kinds of 5 to 600lb bears. I lived up north for 40 years and have had a few spicy encounters, I do not walk in the woods without being armed as bears are now spread from north to south and from lake to river.

[@T410ce]

Up here in Northern Alberta, Canada we have some nice big Black bears but mostly medium sized blacks. However like you said a really big Black bear can be 6-800 lbs… so it makes me laugh when people say that an average adult black bear is 250 lbs.😂 A one year old juvenile would be closer to 250 lbs; they are heavier than most people realize.

[@KennethRisner-fz9sc]

@@T410ce I read where, and this was just a couple years ago, the PA state record black bear was 879 pounds. Very scary when a black bear can get heavier that an average lower 48 state grizzly. those 250 pounders they refer too are probably the ones passing through here in ohio

As always fantastic job thank you

[@ericyoung1243]

Great story. Thanks so much

[@LuvBorderCollies]

Don't sugar coat stories, just tell them as it was and the aftermath. Every story is different even though some common threads run between many. Every detail of these encounters is valuable to warn people of al the variables so they can broaden their awareness. The point of making them more public is to save lives.

[@NeilMacMillan-fb3hd]

a black bear can be just as deadly as a grizzly bear so they should not be underestimated they are a force to be reckoned with

[@JohnnyDanger36963]

liar,black bears are Fluffy and fun! remember Winnie the POO!

[@NeilMacMillan-fb3hd]

oh really why don`t you try and get close to an adult black bear see much you enjoy it I don`t think so

[@buggernut3643]

This was entirely a defensive attack though. The bear was being hunted down. Can’t blame it.

The Father seems like a very inexperienced hunter

[@quoththeraven7]

if he ran out around after 8 shots he probably had a 1911 and not a Glock. Because if he had a Glock, he wouldn't. have had to pistol with the animal when it was on top of him, He would've had a few more rounds to work with

[@ShiddyFinkelstein]

Bait stations. F that. Wisconsin again. 🙄

[@QueenKayKay47]

8 shots and NONE made contact with the bear? ¿?

[@stephenkruft5966]

What firearms were used?

[@michaellincoln3739]

1st rule: Never bring a dog on a bear hunt. 2nd rule: Never bring a dog on a bear hunt. 3rd rule: If you missed the first 2 rules - give up hunting. Bears can smell dogs for miles.

[@NeilMacMillan-fb3hd]

to the person who made the comment about black bears being cute cuddly why don`t you try and pet and see what happens that would not be very bright

[@wrightchrisj]

???? i wonder if we could get information with Scary Bear Attacks as to the caliber and particular bullet the hunters were using. It would be helpful and add to the understanding of the incident.

[@repetemyname842]

I bet the state DNR website has that data

[@bradbradshaw-i4n]

the real story. they wounded the bear then tracked it. the bear was hurt that they caused.

'bear bait'...lol BIG BAD 'HUNTER'!!! 🤣

[@brendadavis5634]

I don't think it's right to bate anything that's hungry or just trying to survive

[@Rem700R5MN]

I don’t think it’s right for ignorant people to tell others what to do when it doesn’t concern them. And it’s spelled “bait”.

[@elliebradley5192]

Neither do I. Bears should be allowed to live in their own natural habitat without stupid people who think they're tough because they have a gun. What's the point I wonder.

[@WilliamTuckwell-r8b]

@@elliebradley5192 the bear permits are given out to hunters because their population is deemed large enough to require a reduction in their numbers. Unless you’ve hunted it’s difficult for you to understand the passion involved. Humans ARE hunters and the drive still runs deep. The fur and meat would typically be put to good use also. Just because you don’t understand it you should also not condemn it.

[@elliebradley5192]

@WilliamTuckwell-r8b I'm English and we don't carry guns here but it seems weird that bear numbers need to be depleted when they're in their own natural environment and not generally bothering anyone. I'm not condemning you but I love animals and it's sad to see them injured and shot.

[@WilliamTuckwell-r8b]

@@elliebradley5192 I watch a couple of UK hunting shows. The spiritual home of the fox hunt and the Glorious 12th ( grouse season) have their beginnings in the UK. Firearm ownership is more difficult where you are but hunting and shooting are still very popular pastimes in the British isles.

[@tomr1991]

This just isn't hunting. It's trapping. They aren't the same. You didn't kill a bear technology did. And you were so bad at it that you damn near died and endangered your son. Congrats on the kill big man.

[@judyferguson3185]

My thoughts exactly 😡😡😡

[@Support_Ad_Blocker]

Agreed. Just another beta hunter trying to convince himself of his “manhood.”

[@AndrewSchwankl]

I thought there was excessive dwelling on wound description. 😢

[@LuvBorderCollies]

?? They're sharing the story of what happened, what went wrong and what went right. And the consequences which was being killed and de-gutted by a bear for lunch. IF you don't tell or better yet, show people what deadly wounds a large animal can inflict in split seconds, then why even bother with any details from the encounter. Maybe I can go into detail of the fatal wounds a pack of coyotes inflicted on one of my favorite Border Collie pups. Or do you prefer to live in Fantasy Land?? I thought not enough detail was given. 23 stitches on one laceration is one thing, but spreading those 23 around your face looks a LOT worse. People will NEVER respect just how sharp those claws are unless they see real results. It certainly can happen and you don't even need to be hunting or hiking. People are oblivious to the horrific damage to the human body from a vehicle or m/c crash. Even a walk in a salvage yard looking at wrecks, many with blood in them, that gets their attention, it worked for me even while I had a learners permit.

[@eagleeye604]

he enjoys describing the wounds in great detail

[@kimbelsimpson7535]

When it comes to hunters tracking bears I take no sides because the bear is fighting for it's life and whatever happens, happens.

[@ArcangelGamingEntertainment]

I love these videos - but duude I reckon you could invest in better maps :D

[@rickhatesmisleadia7101]

rooaaarrrr!

[@Yosetime]

Can it really be called hunting if you set up a trap literally in your yard and sit inside your own house waiting for the bear to walk into your sights? That's not real hunting. More like ambushing in the laziest possible way. I have other words to describe a father who would take a child so young into dense bush chasing after an injured bear. And that same father couldn't hit said bear even once from only a few feet away with a fully loaded pistol. This whole thing makes me feel like the two of them think they're playing a video game. Makes me wonder if that child had ever been in the forest doing actual hunting before or if he just 'thought' he was a good hunter because he could shoot from inside the house? That's probably the most dangerous thing to teach your kid. Not hiding safely inside your house to 'practice hunting' might have prevented Ryan from getting himself into such a situation and forcing his child to save his life. The poor kid will probably have nightmares for a very long time about missing the shot again. What a huge responsibility to put your ill-prepared kid into. Father of the year! What if that bear had jumped onto his kid? Wow. Neither one of them had any right to be hunting, or pretending to hunt, anything.

Must be a card carry member of the Communist Party. Trying to tell another person how and what to do. This does not affect you in anyway. You were not harmed. Yet you have so deep emotional or mental need to inject an opinion about another's basic freedom's, parenting, and abilities to exercise their rights as they see fit. You need to be locked away and re-educated on American Values, American Law, American Ethics and morals. You are 100% Super Karen to the extreme. It's none of your God Damn Business and although you are free to speak your vile communist filth, you need to learn to speak when it's appropriate.
