Here is a fun fact from an Australian. People I meet from USA tell me how reluctant they are to visit Australia, due to the insect and reptile natives we harbour here. I say that I would rather deal with an Eastern Brown snake, or even a funnel web spider, than I would want to deal with ANY type of bear EVER💯
I've always wondered if people from other countries, especially Australia, think it might not be a big deal to come here in certain areas with animals we have compared to thiers. I know that's one of my fears about going to Australia. I want to go one day. But it's nice to see an Aussie say 'no way' to a bear here.
No way! I’d have a heart attack before the sssssss even bit me, I’ll take bears, it’s rare to see them and even more rarely will they attack, I’m in BC Canada.
An analysis of all these Scary Bear Attacks indicates that bear spray is minimally effective and that when the human deploys an effective firearm, the human usually survives the scary bear attack.
I saw a video about the composition of the bullet. Could overrode the caliber. I lnow that if I have to use 500 S&W rounds, I'll die. But a 10mm auto with whatever that metal was, I might have a chance.
re bear spray. I don't know whether it was in this video, or one I watched before this one: a bear was in front of the people's cabin, and this bear did not seem aggressive at the time. anyways, this young girl (20ish) went down the stairs of the cabin and approached the bear with bear spray and gave it two sprays right in the face. it DID NOT (SEEM) TO HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE BEAR WHATSOEVER! I actually felt sorry for the bear, but honestly, it carried on as if nothing had happened. so yeah, pretty scary 🥶 😱 🥶 😱🥶 😱 EDIT: it's NOT legal to carry a gun in Canada unless you have made arrangements with the Police Department telling them what you plan to do. they are so strict here. >: (
Bear spray is a last resort before you start being used for dinner carrying a big caliber weapon and pray that it doesn’t jam because I heard stories of people saying they froze from just the fear of how quickly the bear can run bear spray sometimes works but if it’s territory or cubs or just hunger spray is not working
I think there's probably some bear spray thats much better than other's. Quality matters imho. Under a recent video Addicus mentioned a brand a bear attack victim developed. The reviews and real life stories of using it were impressive. Still, I'm gonna be packing a powerfuI weapon, too. And a sturdy hunting knife as well. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
This channel and videos NEVER dissapoint! I love following along! Thank you so much. The way you narrate these bear attacks so well that i actually can picture the homes etc.. thank you so much!
Here is my take on bear attacks. Officials constantly say bear attacks are uncommon, yet there are enough to keep Atticus busy making videos! Too many attacks for me to hike in brown bear country. Although I have hiked in black bear country. Have made it to age 75 with no scars from bear claws!
Exactly right. I Iove PA's woods and ruraI areas, and have spent my Iife Iiving in bIack bear territory. I've never had a probIem with any and have onIy ever seen 1 up cIose in a tree. The bears around here seem to be more afraid of us and it's rare to see one, unIess you're activeIy seeking to find them. We do have ~20,000 of them in the state. l have a Iot of respect for them and any other animaIs capabIe of seriousIy harming us, that Iive in the woods and am aIways carefuI. 99% of them want nothing to do with us and wiII rareIy bother you unIess they're defending themseIves from a perceived threat or in the rare case of a predatory attack. We aII shouId take our seIf defense seriousIy in every day Iife, and especially in bear country. But I'm a Iot more concerned with human threats than I am of any animaI, and wiII gIadIy take my chances with animaIs over humans anyday. I'm 59 and stiII enjoy being outdoors more than indoors. 😊 I Iove aII the IocaI outdoor critters, feeding the birds, my chipmunk friend who has it's own bowI of food & water, even the toads, frogs and turtles that Iive in the area. My neighbor even puts Ieftovers out for the neighborhood opossum 😂 RuraI Iiving is the best. ❤
The key words of what you had to say about dodging ten or twenty thousand black bears are : "I'll take my chances" !?! Taking their chances is exactly what bear country hikers are doing--it is called GAMBLING WITH ONE'S LIFE, just like Russian Roulette. Go ahead , take your chances if taking chances is what you are into. Just face the fact that you are every bit as CRAZY as any one else who likes/loves/craves taking chances in order to get whatever kind of thrill turns them on.
Small bear, large bear, if a bear has its eyes on you it really doesnt matter. A bear will attack and kill a person. They are very quick and sooo strong. Im so horribly sad for this wife and mommy. 😢 My opinion is, if going into bear populated areas, i sooo believe that bear spray and an automatic rifel are needed. Having these two items could be the difference of living or passing. Id chose to take these two items!
People who live in bear country should put a bunch of small square windows all around their homes that are too small for a bear to fit through. It will still give them plenty of light to enjoy looking outside but would protect them so they are not vulnerable to bears.
Wow, I didn’t think anybody else thought about those things, because I do. I always wonder about people who love lots of windows, though they live where wild animals roam. And I’ve heard of bears breaking down the door. My house would have to be bear, moose and snake proof!!
4 MILES I'm sorry but there's no way they dropped their bags and didn't try to make noise to ward it off sheesh man small bear or not I'm making noise if it's still deciding omg no way I'm leaving my wife for four miles. FOUR MILES
Honestly if we were unarmed and didn't have bear mace, I'd rather my husband run away and live than to die with me. The only thing that could make that situation more painful would be seeing my loved one die when he could have lived.
@@_Shake_i I get where you're coming from too. I'd want to protect my family too but at the same time I'd want them to abandon me in that situation lol
Great cover Addicus of all these attacks thank you for putting these episodes together I pray those who lost their lives RIP and bless their families left to grieve. I heard a few new ones in their as well and totally amazed ! But still the one of your families was totally riveting glad y’all were all ok, God bless you and your family thanks again for your awesome channel take care out there and be bear safe as much as possible anyway …… the last attack with Natalia and Valentino were simply amazing these two lived 😮 and made it out alive I’m so very happy Natalia healed, truly blessed
Im an avid outdoorsman, been hunting & fishing as far back as when I was able to pack my own gear into the regional highland lakes, and shoulder my own 12. g for waterfowl & 308. for the various 4 legged game animals. Ive also been all over Alaska, Sitka, Cordova, Seward, ans yes of course Kodiak Island. Im also a bow hunter, Im good with compounds & even a recurve but my true love is my crossbow. To the Brown Bear we all smell like slow meat period, bear spray is better then nothing but not effective far to often. I dont & wont ever hunt Brown's or any bearfor that matter with sharp sticks (arrows / bolts) and any bow hunter that goes after them with any type of bow & bear spray as protection for close encounters, your a bigger man then me & I applaud you! Never ever ever as in no way under any circumstances ever FOLLOW A WOUNDED BROWN BEAR INTO THE BUSH IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FAMILY AGAIN !!!
Amen, you never, ever track a wounded animaI capabIe of harming you, without giving it time to bed down and perish. That's hunting 101, Scott in the first story is very Iucky to be aIive. You aIso better make certain that anyone you are guiding, knows ethicaI, proper shot placement. That's a must in my book. I aIso grew up in a hunting & fishing famiIy. I wouIdn't trade my upbringing, camping & expIoring which taught me the Iove of the outdoors, for anything. I wiII gIadIy take my chances with animaIs over humans, any day. I Iive in ruraI PA in bIack bear country aII my Iife. Never had a probIem with them, but I'm not foolish, I carry because you never know. But humans worry me more than animaIs. That's why I Iive between smaII towns in God's country. Near the woods, fields, streams & the nearby river. I'd never be truIy happy in any other setting. Happy trails 👍
AMEN to not putting faith in sharp sticks and bear spray !?!!?! Amen to putting even less faith in kick'n and scream'n, fingernail scratch'n and bit'n when dealing with several hundred pounds of blood thirsty 5 inch claws and 3 inch incisors all wrapped up in a bullet deflecting hide that is second to none !!!
I always look forward to your stories, as I am a bear lover..I am also realistic as to a bears nature and to have a lot of respect for not only bears, but all wild animals in general.
Regarding the newly married couple : they naively did what most people do when they decide to go into bear country -- they decided to GAMBLE WITH THEIR VERY LIVES AND THE LIVES OF LOVED ONES by exposing themselves to a powerful predator which USUALLY CAN NOT BE STOPPED WHEN IT DECIDES TO ATTACK. Just because there aren't very many attacks doesn't mean it is safe to walk through bear country with not much of anything with which to protect oneself against such a potent predator. If you were told a forest has a powerfull homicidal maniac that might stumble upon you if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time ; would you figure it is worth taking the risk while having virtually no reasonable means of self protection !?!!!!!??????????????????????!!?? C'mon !!! This is not rocket science !?!
It’s me again, I watched this story once again as it’s so interesting. I recently learned we do have black bears on our property. Decided to make the drive down there, carry my 270 with me. Do some practice shooting. As long as my husband is close by, I’ll feel safe. Hopefully, those critters will keep to themselves. We never leave our trash down there, always bring it home with us. Once again, thank you for sharing this wonderful informative story with us. You’ve certainly taught me how to be bear aware. God bless you, have a blessed day.
I have listened to about 10 brown bear stories and the only people that have guns are hunters and they seem to be the only ones to make it out alive. Do these people think so little of their own lives to not bring a weapon to defend themselves?
Bolt action is too slow. Manual operation always allows for operator caused problems. Same for pump action. Even lever action can be short stroked and slow/stop operation. My favorite pick is the Browning BAR, a sleek slim semi-auto that really softens recoil so followup shots are easier. Put additional lead on target fast and accurate. My other favs would be M1 Garand or one of the .308 Win modern sporting rifles like Ruger SFAR. A detachable mag gives the option for mag size and a fast way to change ammo type if a situation changes.
I believe that it was Isabel’s mothers spirit protecting her. What better guardian angel than your mother that loves you. I’ve always believed that your loved ones that proceed you in death are your angels. When my parents were alive they had my back viciously even when I was in the wrong. I didn’t know how lucky I truly am to have the parents I was blessed with. They had their vices and flaws but I wouldn’t trade them in for nothing
Isabell and her daughter Kia were irresponsible for not having at least bear spray, might not been available for Isabell, but a large caliber pistol. If Canada does not allow guns, than deaths are on them.
It's increasingIy difficult to own firearms in Canada. I beIieve onIy on duty Iaw enforcement can carry handguns and even the process to obtain a rifIe or shotgun isn't easy. If you have any kind of record, forget it. You have to obtain and pay for training, then there's a licensing and permitting process & fees as weII. PIus the cost of the actuaI firearm is much more expensive than here in the states. I aIso beIieve it's unIawfuI to carry in nationaI parks and other areas. I agree 100%, these deaths are totaIIy on the tyrannicaI govt. I personaIIy wouId rather risk a fine than my Iife. We traveI to a neighboring state yearly or every other to see hard rock & metaI shows, and the neighboring state doesn't have reciprocity with ours. Which means I have a carry permit in my state that's recognized & accepted in many others, but not the neighboring state. Idc, my 38 spI goes with me every time, since it's a very dangerous and heIIhoIe city the shows are in. The concert venue itseIf is nice, but the city is insane. 2 summers ago, we were driving to the concert venue around 3-4pm and saw a prostitute servicing a customer in broad daylight. I didn't think I was seeing straight untiI my oIder son's gf said "Did l just see what I think I saw ?" 😳 And l said yes, I saw it too. The guy got out of his car putting his junk back in his pants and she resumed standing at the corner where we were sitting at a redIight. You can imagine how much worse it is at night when Ieaving the area 😂 so yeah, I'm not taking chances.
@@metalmamasue3680 my advise, which actually came from a commentor on the channel, is if you can't carry a gun, in addition to your bear spray, carry some road flares. If it doesn't scare a bear away you can burn the crap out of it, take out it's eyes or shove it down its throat, not going to shake that off. It might stiil kill you, but you will take it out when you go.
I've wondered about using packs of firecrackers or flash-bang grenades or just a plain concussion grenade would work. Roman candles that pop. Self igniting flamethrower. I haven't bought fireworks since I was a kid (55 - 60 yrs ago). The makers were really watering down the fireworks. But recent years there's some really powerful aerial stuff that rattles our windows from a 1/4 mile away.
I will never understand how anyone would jeopardize their life to hike in an area, where they know that there are apex predators ready to make dinner of them. More so, when they hike alone with no protection.
I’m Australian so maybe governments already do what I suggest, but I think that bear spray should be kept for free in boxes at the beginning of trail heads. An honesty system to take the can with you on your hike or run and return it when your done. In Australia the box jellyfish lives in the northern tropical waters and most beaches will have a supply of vinegar in a box at the beach for people to use incase they are stung. Box jelly fish can be lethal and the pain is said to be worse than childbirth. Vinegar helps neutralise the toxins until you can get to a hospital.
Bears are smart. They will try and stock you if they are hunger. I live on large acreage of land surrounded by even larger acres of land. I walked out my front door and rounded a deck I have towards my car. I walked up on the bear unknowingly was about eight feet from it. Screamed and ran back to my home. I waited like an hour watching out of all my large glass French doors from many different parts of the home. Thinking I was safe and ready to make my way to the car again, I made it about six feet from the front door with door unlocked, peak around the corner of the front deck and there it was again waiting for me to see if I would come back out. Ran back to my house locked the door and decided I wasn't going anywhere today. That bear circled my home for at least two hours more before it slipped back into the forest. They are hungry, and you are always food to them. Don't let your Gard down ever, and get away from them before they have time to think.
I mean no disrespect to anyone, I personally wouldn't go into bear country period, with out a proven Bear Spray, and sufficient pistol, rifle, or shot gun. Not just for bears!
On the 1st story, it seems he may have been in a bit of a hurry, thinking about getting done and ready for the next group? Think waiting until the next morning would have been safer? I don't know, but I am glad the hunter survived.
Yes, he most definitely should have waited, tiI the next morning if necessary. You never hurry to track a wounded animaI you're not sure is dead. Ever.
I was just cleaning it for spring a few minutes ago. My head was on a swivel the entire time. Bears don't come through often but they fact that they at any time, always keeps me on my toes.
Here is why I hope to never die in a bear attack., I simply will not go where they are. I understand how wonderful hiking with someone would be., but I don’t think it equates the potential loss.
I just came across your bear attacks video and you brought up a burning question I have - how effective is bear spray? Does it do any good at all - has it ever saved a life? I'm an avid watcher of ALONE, but I don't like their emphasis on dropping people in bear country with no shelter or weapon. It's not amusing to think that they may be placing people in a situation where they could suffer a horrible death. They provide them with bear spray and advice to always say "Hey, bear" if/whenever they encounter one. This doesn't seem sufficient to me. I'd appreciate any link to a source that can answer this about the effectiveness of bear spray (or not). I've heard one is more likely to get it all over one's self.
They say if used properIy it's 90% effective. But in windy conditions, it's Iess effective and you couId end up bIinding yourseIf when you most need to see. Plus many have not carried it in easiIy accessible pIace, some weren't abIe to quickIy defeat the safety caps/features, some attacks happen so quickly, they don't have time to deploy it. So it's definitely a usefuI tooI, but I wouIdn't onIy reIy on that. I'd be packing a firearm, and a sturdy hunting knife as well as bear spray, to give myself the best chances at surviving an attack. I hope that helps. I'm sure there are videos of proper use of bear spray if you search for them.
Everything above I can agree with. Biggest problem is wind as normally you are downwind of wildlife and that's unfortunate if wanting maximum distance.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Down wind !?! Ha! Man, that is a big NO GO ! Vote of non confidence for bear spray !! And what is with automatic rifles ? Are they even legal to use against animals ?
Juan should’ve took his partner to look for the wounded bear. Every hunter and person knows a hurt bear is a dangerous bear. Why didn’t the other guy go with him?
Whatever you do, prepare to do it in a split second. Bear spray? Guns? Sound makers? "Walk softly and carry a big stick." And "Don't chew your cabbage twice."
My german shepherd weighs 85-90 lbs. He was running after me from behind, we were playing, he meant to swipe past me but hit me, I did a complete back flip & landed hard. If an 85 lb dog has that kind of impact I don't want to know what the impact of a 200 lb bear feels like, much less a 650 lb bear.
No I didn’t look at the pics on patreon they were the first thing that came up when I googled “bear winched out of cabin with tow truck” it’s truly massive.
Absolutely he should of had a back up shooter with him to search for the bear. Stronger in numbers! I really dont think that bear spray would have been sufficient enough for this attack.
Pepper spray AKA bear spray effects people differently. It has the desired effect on something like 80-90% of humans. This is just my observation but the more enraged a perp is, the less effect spray has. It seems logical that bears reactions would parallel humans. The videos of bear spray working are calm non-agitated bears. You never see one where spray is stopping an enraged momma bear or just grouchy old bear that's been bullied as he got older, and wants to take out his frustration on weakly human.
The sceneries are beautiful, and so is the nature. In my old age, I’ve come to see that that’s the most beautiful thing on this world’s surface. Nothing else compares.
Thank you for sharing this very informative story. Scared the dickens out of me. My husband is a police officer, taught me how to shoot. I’ll always use him for my back up shooter, he never misses. Your episodes have taught me so much but I have no desire to go bear hunting. My husband and I own 100 acres heavily wooded property along Trout Creek just outside of Kirbyville, Texas. He said (but I know he enjoys teasing me) we have black bears in our property. Ever heard anything about it? Please let me know. I’m so scared, I won’t even go with him to the cabin we have there. Please let me know, and thank you again for your wonderful stories.
I believe bear spray is never enough and having a .44 mag revolver on a chest holster just makes common sense in areas with bears. If laws say no firearms, then stay out of the area. The bear spray game can be played by rangers who have no choice in the matter. Living off grid? get the .44 and get used to the weight. Keep it in good condition.
Sure took a lot of bullets to take this bear down. Juan was impatient and a pretty lousy shot. I don’t think bear spray would’ve helped. I’m glad Scott didn’t die. He was very lucky.
I really learned alot from watching these amazing Bear videos . Especally what not to do around these bears. These Bears are amazing aminals but very dangerous aminals . They deserve out most respect when you in the woods .
Its hard to believe that a country that had so much wild places such as Canada has any laws that ban firearms anywhere. Like the couple that the wife was killed , had her husband been armed they both may have walked out of there. Joe in cabin without firarms is also hard to believe, why anyone would be there with no weapon is beyond me .uf you go into the wood , go armed gi knowing how to use your firearms . You have to know how to use anything you carry.. if your family likes the outdoors when any of them get old enough to have and use a firearm make sure they bring them . But a place that bans firearms is causing people to die .
I would never go into bear country without one of my weapons..the government can go pound sand..I’ll be alive. This man and his wife made the mistake of not taking care of themselves.
Pots and pans? Good lord what goes through the minds of these people? No respect for bears..I guess. More likely is that most people have become so “ civilized” they can’t comprehend true wilderness. I hope he trains and trains and trains with what ever weapon he buys so as not to shoot him self in the foot.🤦♂️ poor dog.
I can't stop watching these, they're awesome! Where can I find your Patrion page? Thanks! Very difficult to bring a firearm from USA into Canada. After watching your videos, not sure I trust hiking or visiting in Canada.
After hearing about their politics, and especially under Trudeau, I have no desire to visit Canada ever again. They've destroyed what once was a wonderful place people loved to visit, I even took a cruise there with my grandmother when I was younger. They only care about appeasing their destructive leftist population, which destroyed an amazing country in just a couple of years...
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 We have such beautiful country here in Canada. Im so grateful to live far enough from where bears reside! Only takes 5 hrs drive to see bears in their natural habitat.😊 i would absolutely recommend both bear spray and a registard licensed high powered pistol or riffel.
Any person entering a territory where bears are is totally insane. If jogging or hiking there is more important than your life then call yourself bear food and get on with it. I feel nothingness for the stupidity of humanity.
Atticus is second to none in telling these awesome bear stories! But no matter how many scary stories he tells, some people will throw caution to the wind, and for some reason, decide not to take bear spray or protection. I truly want them to survive, but I don’t feel weird or guilty for watching, because these are not ignorant people! ❤😌❤
Bears are unpredictable. Bear spray gives you about 10% chance of stopping a potential bear attack. A magnum pistol in a train shooter hand give you 95 % safety from a bear doing damage to you.😢
Playing dead does not work. Dont ever act submissive to a bear. Any kind of noise, and making yourself bigger and aggressive back can scare a bear off. Packing air horns or anything that makes a loud sound would have been enough to spook the bear. People seem to think that acting like an aggressor will make the bears furious and they will charge towards them. But bears spook easier than you think. But best advice of all, is just dont go hiking in bear country, its not remotely worth the risk.
My 104 dad told me never follow a wounded bear until you have given it time to die and NEVER go alone. ALWAYS HAVE CHEST GUN for backup PISTOL,use BIG powered guns
I saw a Black Bear in Yosemite National Park. It was digging through a trash can. We were in the Winnebago and watched. It grabbed some stuff out of the can, and then just walked away into the trees.
ikr? it's absolute cruelty. I think there's a rule around hunting sows, but I'm not sure. BUT IMAGINE if a hunter killed a mother bear? what would happen to her cubs? they would die by starvation - one of the most horrible ways to die....
We did finish it and it is so quiet within those log walls. My sons are now grown and love to go sleep by themselves in it. Makes me feel good knowing the are comfortable enough in it to do that.
I am so very, very sorry for the man that lost his new wife! Soooo sad. Paul and christine. Im so very sorry 😢 shoulda,,coulda, woulda,. Everyone has such different opinions, but unless your in this situation we dont really dont know. Be kind with our should haves 😢 this young man will forever suffer from ptsd. My heart goes out to him and families 😢😢
People are starving, too. In Kamchatka, I imagine the poverty is high. I think the brown bears attacked the guards bc they were hungry. I don't think they had a chance to cache the bodies.
In the first story…. The hunter became the hunted. Plain and simple. That poor bear was minding its own business, harming no one when Scot shot it, wounding it, causing unnecessary pain and suffering. Not for food, just for a trophy.😢. The poor animal only retaliated and defended itself. Why cause such suffering? So I have no sympathy for Scot, he brought it on himself… it didn’t need to happen and my sympathy is for the bear. Not all bears are good… this one didn’t attack, it didn’t need to die. Hope Scot understands that killing for sport is unacceptable now.
You asked if bear spray would help? One common theme in your stories are empty bear spray cans. I live on the Kenai peninsula in Alaska. I have little faith in bear spray.
Failure to hunt or at least harass bears teaches them the area is theirs alone. Not educating bears to avoid humans is guaranteed to cost someone their life, along with the bear(s). Coyotes have learned to run if they see a human with a rifle or a car that suddenly slows down and that car shot at them last week. (True story) Otherwise if left unmolested coyotes get very bold when they team up. Bigger the yote mob the more brazen they are and more dangerous to every animal including humans. To have a few yotes in the group with some fear of lethal lead is a benefit. No experience with wolves but I'd wager they'd learn fast like yotes.
The bear was hungry, starving probably. Bear spray might have helped if at the ready, but to be honest I really don't know. It's the old saying, Shit Happens.
These stories of people completely unprepared to take care of themselves and their loved ones leave me totally exasperated. The story of Ace just makes me sick. I would have much preferred that his owner pay the ultimate price for his stupidity, not the dog. These Canadians who are deprived the ability to carry firearms should take to carrying Masai spears and other huge fantastical weapons.
32:40 Only a 130 pounds ?? I’ve faced off against wild boars twice that weight in Fl a half dozen times in my life In Florida. You would think you would stand a good chance at fighting a bear that light off . You would think so anyway. But these national parks that don’t allow their guest to care pew pews to protect themselves against bears or even certain people are putting their guests in unreasonable harm for no measurable good I can think of should rethink their policies
Saturday night, a glass of bourbon, Scary Bear Attack marathon. Life is good ❤
I love you. What is your cell#? I am in GA.
Livin The Dream.......Lucky Bass .....
Yep ! I agree !! Let's relax on a Saturday night safely tucked inside rather than BEING OUT THERE risking it all on a can of bear spray !?!

You better not drink too many glass of bourbon and then head out to the forest for a walk .ah ah
That bear would have to kill me first before i would leave my wife alone being attacked bye a 130 lb bear...be damned
That's because you were a real man! Kudos to you
It would have had to kill us both, before i gave up attacking the bear. Coward! Bet he did nothing but run like a little baby

Here is a fun fact from an Australian. People I meet from USA tell me how reluctant they are to visit Australia, due to the insect and reptile natives we harbour here. I say that I would rather deal with an Eastern Brown snake, or even a funnel web spider, than I would want to deal with ANY type of bear EVER💯
I'm an Aussie into nature who has been working in Canada for two months now and I tell them all this haha
I've always wondered if people from other countries, especially Australia, think it might not be a big deal to come here in certain areas with animals we have compared to thiers. I know that's one of my fears about going to Australia. I want to go one day. But it's nice to see an Aussie say 'no way' to a bear here.
No way! I’d have a heart attack before the sssssss even bit me, I’ll take bears, it’s rare to see them and even more rarely will they attack, I’m in BC Canada.
An analysis of all these Scary Bear Attacks indicates that bear spray is minimally effective and that when the human deploys an effective firearm, the human usually survives the scary bear attack.

Bear spray probably would have helped Scott, but a chest mount 10mm would. Always have a high caliber pistol as backup.
I saw a video about the composition of the bullet. Could overrode the caliber. I lnow that if I have to use 500 S&W rounds, I'll die. But a 10mm auto with whatever that metal was, I might have a chance.
re bear spray. I don't know whether it was in this video, or one I watched before this one:
a bear was in front of the people's cabin, and this bear did not seem aggressive at the time. anyways, this young girl (20ish) went down the stairs of the cabin and approached the bear with bear spray and gave it two sprays right in the face. it DID NOT (SEEM) TO HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE BEAR WHATSOEVER! I actually felt sorry for the bear, but honestly, it carried on as if nothing had happened. so yeah, pretty scary 🥶 😱 🥶 😱🥶 😱
EDIT:
it's NOT legal to carry a gun in Canada unless you have made arrangements with the Police Department telling them what you plan to do. they are so strict here.
>: (
Bear spray is a last resort before you start being used for dinner carrying a big caliber weapon and pray that it doesn’t jam because I heard stories of people saying they froze from just the fear of how quickly the bear can run bear spray sometimes works but if it’s territory or cubs or just hunger spray is not working
I think there's probably some bear spray thats much better than other's. Quality matters imho. Under a recent video Addicus mentioned a brand a bear attack victim developed. The reviews and real life stories of using it were impressive. Still, I'm gonna be packing a powerfuI weapon, too. And a sturdy hunting knife as well. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Here is my take on bear attacks. Officials constantly say bear attacks are uncommon, yet there are enough to keep Atticus busy making videos! Too many attacks for me to hike in brown bear country. Although I have hiked in black bear country. Have made it to age 75 with no scars from bear claws!
Right on!
Do you have a boyfriend?
Exactly right. I Iove PA's woods and ruraI areas, and have spent my Iife Iiving in bIack bear territory. I've never had a probIem with any and have onIy ever seen 1 up cIose in a tree.
The bears around here seem to be more afraid of us and it's rare to see one, unIess you're activeIy seeking to find them. We do have ~20,000 of them in the state.
l have a Iot of respect for them and any other animaIs capabIe of seriousIy harming us, that Iive in the woods and am aIways carefuI.
99% of them want nothing to do with us and wiII rareIy bother you unIess they're defending themseIves from a perceived threat or in the rare case of a predatory attack.
We aII shouId take our seIf defense seriousIy in every day Iife, and especially in bear country.
But I'm a Iot more concerned with human threats than I am of any animaI, and wiII gIadIy take my chances with animaIs over humans anyday.
I'm 59 and stiII enjoy being outdoors more than indoors. 😊 I Iove aII the IocaI outdoor critters, feeding the birds, my chipmunk friend who has it's own bowI of food & water, even the toads, frogs and turtles that Iive in the area.
My neighbor even puts Ieftovers out for the neighborhood opossum 😂
RuraI Iiving is the best. ❤
The key words of what you had to say about dodging ten or twenty thousand black bears are : "I'll take my chances" !?! Taking their chances is exactly what bear country hikers are doing--it is called GAMBLING WITH ONE'S LIFE, just like Russian Roulette. Go ahead , take your chances if taking chances is what you are into. Just face the fact that you are every bit as CRAZY as any one else who likes/loves/craves taking chances in order to get whatever kind of thrill turns them on.
You're more likely to get killed by lightning or a car.
than any bear that wants
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU !
Small bear, large bear, if a bear has its eyes on you it really doesnt matter. A bear will attack and kill a person. They are very quick and sooo strong. Im so horribly sad for this wife and mommy. 😢 My opinion is, if going into bear populated areas, i sooo believe that bear spray and an automatic rifel are needed. Having these two items could be the difference of living or passing. Id chose to take these two items!
you're not allowed the rifle in Canada.
It depends where you are in Canada, I'm not saying you should break the law, but sometimes saving yourself by breaking a law maybe the way to go
These bear stories were great, Atticus. I truly love the way you narrate. ❤️ Thank you! Always look forward to more Scary Bear Attacks stories! 🐻
People who live in bear country should put a bunch of small square windows all around their homes that are too small for a bear to fit through. It will still give them plenty of light to enjoy looking outside but would protect them so they are not vulnerable to bears.
Wow, I didn’t think anybody else thought about those things, because I do. I always wonder about people who love lots of windows, though they live where wild animals roam. And I’ve heard of bears breaking down the door. My house would have to be bear, moose and snake proof!!
@@marjorjorietillman856 Absolutely!! Mine too,! Those bears don't play around!
4 MILES I'm sorry but there's no way they dropped their bags and didn't try to make noise to ward it off sheesh man small bear or not I'm making noise if it's still deciding omg no way I'm leaving my wife for four miles. FOUR MILES
Honestly if we were unarmed and didn't have bear mace, I'd rather my husband run away and live than to die with me. The only thing that could make that situation more painful would be seeing my loved one die when he could have lived.
@@superpikkle3983 I get where you're coming from but that bear was 135 pounds 😞😕
@@_Shake_i I get where you're coming from too. I'd want to protect my family too but at the same time I'd want them to abandon me in that situation lol
@@superpikkle3983 No way if the numbers and we are stronger then don't abandon but if it were a different bear I'd have them leave me
Great cover Addicus of all these attacks thank you for putting these episodes together I pray those who lost their lives RIP and bless their families left to grieve. I heard a few new ones in their as well and totally amazed ! But still the one of your families was totally riveting glad y’all were all ok, God bless you and your family thanks again for your awesome channel take care out there and be bear safe as much as possible anyway …… the last attack with Natalia and Valentino were simply amazing these two lived 😮 and made it out alive I’m so very happy Natalia healed, truly blessed
Im an avid outdoorsman, been hunting & fishing as far back as when I was able to pack my own gear into the regional highland lakes, and shoulder my own 12. g for waterfowl & 308. for the various 4 legged game animals. Ive also been all over Alaska, Sitka, Cordova, Seward, ans yes of course Kodiak Island. Im also a bow hunter, Im good with compounds & even a recurve but my true love is my crossbow. To the Brown Bear we all smell like slow meat period, bear spray is better then nothing but not effective far to often. I dont & wont ever hunt Brown's or any bearfor that matter with sharp sticks (arrows / bolts) and any bow hunter that goes after them with any type of bow & bear spray as protection for close encounters, your a bigger man then me & I applaud you! Never ever ever as in no way under any circumstances ever FOLLOW A WOUNDED BROWN BEAR INTO THE BUSH IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FAMILY AGAIN !!!
Amen, you never, ever track a wounded animaI capabIe of harming you, without giving it time to bed down and perish.
That's hunting 101, Scott in the first story is very Iucky to be aIive.
You aIso better make certain that anyone you are guiding, knows ethicaI, proper shot placement. That's a must in my book.
I aIso grew up in a hunting & fishing famiIy. I wouIdn't trade my upbringing, camping & expIoring which taught me the Iove of the outdoors, for anything.
I wiII gIadIy take my chances with animaIs over humans, any day. I Iive in ruraI PA in bIack bear country aII my Iife. Never had a probIem with them, but I'm not foolish, I carry because you never know. But humans worry me more than animaIs. That's why I Iive between smaII towns in God's country. Near the woods, fields, streams & the nearby river.
I'd never be truIy happy in any other setting.
Happy trails 👍
AMEN to not putting faith in sharp sticks and bear spray !?!!?! Amen to putting even less faith in kick'n and scream'n, fingernail scratch'n and bit'n when dealing with several hundred pounds of blood thirsty 5 inch claws and 3 inch incisors all wrapped up in a bullet deflecting hide that is second to none !!!
I always look forward to your stories, as I am a bear lover..I am also realistic as to a bears nature and to have a lot of respect for not only bears, but all wild animals in general.
Same here, Black brown and grizzlie bears. I want to give them lots of sweets.
Regarding the newly married couple : they naively did what most people do when they decide to go into bear country -- they decided to GAMBLE WITH THEIR VERY LIVES AND THE LIVES OF LOVED ONES by exposing themselves to a powerful predator which USUALLY CAN NOT BE STOPPED WHEN IT DECIDES TO ATTACK. Just because there aren't very many attacks doesn't mean it is safe to walk through bear country with not much of anything with which to protect oneself against such a potent predator. If you were told a forest has a powerfull homicidal maniac that might stumble upon you if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time ; would you figure it is worth taking the risk while having virtually no reasonable means of self protection !?!!!!!??????????????????????!!?? C'mon !!! This is not rocket science !?!
Natures way of ridding the earth of stupid people.
Great analogy
Great story’s they are so good I watch them over and over. Thanks again
Continue to do your great shows 🙏🐻🐻
Thank you! Will do!
It’s me again, I watched this story once again as it’s so interesting.
I recently learned we do have black bears on our property. Decided to make the drive down there, carry my 270 with me. Do some practice shooting. As long as my husband is close by, I’ll feel safe. Hopefully, those critters will keep to themselves. We never leave our trash down there, always bring it home with us. Once again, thank you for sharing this wonderful informative story with us. You’ve certainly taught me how to be bear aware. God bless you, have a blessed day.
Your an excellent narrator, and tell great stories, if I was ever attacked, I probably die of a heart attack before he ever reached me
I have listened to about 10 brown bear stories and the only people that have guns are hunters and they seem to be the only ones to make it out alive. Do these people think so little of their own lives to not bring a weapon to defend themselves?
Another great narrative of this bear attack. Thank you for your hard work. Hope all is safe
Cool Atticus!
Great episode. Thank you
Telling people to play dead should make them partly liable shouldn't it?
Difficult to believe an experienced guid does not have at least a 500 sw pistol. I will never use a bolt action rifle. They jam too much
Bolt action is too slow. Manual operation always allows for operator caused problems. Same for pump action. Even lever action can be short stroked and slow/stop operation. My favorite pick is the Browning BAR, a sleek slim semi-auto that really softens recoil so followup shots are easier. Put additional lead on target fast and accurate. My other favs would be M1 Garand or one of the .308 Win modern sporting rifles like Ruger SFAR. A detachable mag gives the option for mag size and a fast way to change ammo type if a situation changes.
Another Scary Bear episode. Love them all and always learn something.
Same! Cold fall day, lightning a fire in the fireplace and listening to Scary Bear Attacks❤
I believe that it was Isabel’s mothers spirit protecting her. What better guardian angel than your mother that loves you. I’ve always believed that your loved ones that proceed you in death are your angels. When my parents were alive they had my back viciously even when I was in the wrong. I didn’t know how lucky I truly am to have the parents I was blessed with. They had their vices and flaws but I wouldn’t trade them in for nothing
That is interesting and the spiritual side of my would like to agree. It is interesting that she has half of her mothers DNA so it is possible.
Isabell and her daughter Kia were irresponsible for not having at least bear spray, might not been available for Isabell, but a large caliber pistol. If Canada does not allow guns, than deaths are on them.
It's increasingIy difficult to own firearms in Canada. I beIieve onIy on duty Iaw enforcement can carry handguns and even the process to obtain a rifIe or shotgun isn't easy. If you have any kind of record, forget it.
You have to obtain and pay for training, then there's a licensing and permitting process & fees as weII. PIus the cost of the actuaI firearm is much more expensive than here in the states.
I aIso beIieve it's unIawfuI to carry in nationaI parks and other areas.
I agree 100%, these deaths are totaIIy on the tyrannicaI govt. I personaIIy wouId rather risk a fine than my Iife.
We traveI to a neighboring state yearly or every other to see hard rock & metaI shows, and the neighboring state doesn't have reciprocity with ours. Which means I have a carry permit in my state that's recognized & accepted in many others, but not the neighboring state.
Idc, my 38 spI goes with me every time, since it's a very dangerous and heIIhoIe city the shows are in. The concert venue itseIf is nice, but the city is insane.
2 summers ago, we were driving to the concert venue around 3-4pm and saw a prostitute servicing a customer in broad daylight. I didn't think I was seeing straight untiI my oIder son's gf said "Did l just see what I think I saw ?" 😳 And l said yes, I saw it too. The guy got out of his car putting his junk back in his pants and she resumed standing at the corner where we were sitting at a redIight.
You can imagine how much worse it is at night when Ieaving the area 😂 so yeah, I'm not taking chances.
@@metalmamasue3680 my advise, which actually came from a commentor on the channel, is if you can't carry a gun, in addition to your bear spray, carry some road flares. If it doesn't scare a bear away you can burn the crap out of it, take out it's eyes or shove it down its throat, not going to shake that off. It might stiil kill you, but you will take it out when you go.
I've wondered about using packs of firecrackers or flash-bang grenades or just a plain concussion grenade would work. Roman candles that pop. Self igniting flamethrower. I haven't bought fireworks since I was a kid (55 - 60 yrs ago). The makers were really watering down the fireworks. But recent years there's some really powerful aerial stuff that rattles our windows from a 1/4 mile away.
I think the guys should have waited the next day to go back to tracking the bear.
Awesome thanks, your own story was just amazing. Family is the only way ✌️
I will never understand how anyone would jeopardize their life to hike in an area, where they know that there are apex predators ready to make dinner of them. More so, when they hike alone with no protection.
I've already heard this story on another site but it's still a good story
I’m Australian so maybe governments already do what I suggest, but I think that bear spray should be kept for free in boxes at the beginning of trail heads. An honesty system to take the can with you on your hike or run and return it when your done.
In Australia the box jellyfish lives in the northern tropical waters and most beaches will have a supply of vinegar in a box at the beach for people to use incase they are stung.
Box jelly fish can be lethal and the pain is said to be worse than childbirth. Vinegar helps neutralise the toxins until you can get to a hospital.
Wow..just wow. That was an excellent video. I’m always amazed at the detailed content of each encounter. Great work!
Bears are smart. They will try and stock you if they are hunger. I live on large acreage of land surrounded by even larger acres of land. I walked out my front door and rounded a deck I have towards my car. I walked up on the bear unknowingly was about eight feet from it. Screamed and ran back to my home. I waited like an hour watching out of all my large glass French doors from many different parts of the home. Thinking I was safe and ready to make my way to the car again, I made it about six feet from the front door with door unlocked, peak around the corner of the front deck and there it was again waiting for me to see if I would come back out. Ran back to my house locked the door and decided I wasn't going anywhere today. That bear circled my home for at least two hours more before it slipped back into the forest. They are hungry, and you are always food to them. Don't let your Gard down ever, and get away from them before they have time to think.
I mean no disrespect to anyone, I personally wouldn't go into bear country period, with out a proven Bear Spray, and sufficient pistol, rifle, or shot gun. Not just for bears!
On the 1st story, it seems he may have been in a bit of a hurry, thinking about getting done and ready for the next group? Think waiting until the next morning would have been safer? I don't know, but I am glad the hunter survived.
Yes, he most definitely should have waited, tiI the next morning if necessary. You never hurry to track a wounded animaI you're not sure is dead. Ever.
Atticus....thank you for telling us your own personal experience with a bear while building your cabin. It was a great story, I enjoyed it.
I was just cleaning it for spring a few minutes ago. My head was on a swivel the entire time. Bears don't come through often but they fact that they at any time, always keeps me on my toes.
Here is why I hope to never die in a bear attack., I simply will not go where they are. I understand how wonderful hiking with someone would be., but I don’t think it equates the potential loss.
Have you ever covered the bear human interaction of Darcy Staver or Wes Perkins?
I just came across your bear attacks video and you brought up a burning question I have - how effective is bear spray? Does it do any good at all - has it ever saved a life? I'm an avid watcher of ALONE, but I don't like their emphasis on dropping people in bear country with no shelter or weapon. It's not amusing to think that they may be placing people in a situation where they could suffer a horrible death. They provide them with bear spray and advice to always say "Hey, bear" if/whenever they encounter one. This doesn't seem sufficient to me. I'd appreciate any link to a source that can answer this about the effectiveness of bear spray (or not). I've heard one is more likely to get it all over one's self.
They say if used properIy it's 90% effective. But in windy conditions, it's Iess effective and you couId end up bIinding yourseIf when you most need to see.
Plus many have not carried it in easiIy accessible pIace, some weren't abIe to quickIy defeat the safety caps/features, some attacks happen so quickly, they don't have time to deploy it.
So it's definitely a usefuI tooI, but I wouIdn't onIy reIy on that. I'd be packing a firearm, and a sturdy hunting knife as well as bear spray, to give myself the best chances at surviving an attack.
I hope that helps.
I'm sure there are videos of proper use of bear spray if you search for them.
Everything above I can agree with. Biggest problem is wind as normally you are downwind of wildlife and that's unfortunate if wanting maximum distance.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Down wind !?! Ha! Man, that is a big NO GO ! Vote of non confidence for bear spray !! And what is with automatic rifles ? Are they even legal to use against animals ?
Juan should’ve took his partner to look for the wounded bear. Every hunter and person knows a hurt bear is a dangerous bear. Why didn’t the other guy go with him?
Maybe he had more sense 🤔….?
@@ursulasoames8602 Bahaha 🤣
Whatever you do, prepare to do it in a split second. Bear spray? Guns? Sound makers? "Walk softly and carry a big stick." And "Don't chew your cabbage twice."
My german shepherd weighs 85-90 lbs. He was running after me from behind, we were playing, he meant to swipe past me but hit me, I did a complete back flip & landed hard. If an 85 lb dog has that kind of impact I don't want to know what the impact of a 200 lb bear feels like, much less a 650 lb bear.
Sir !! You’d make a 4 - way intersection interesting.!! I’m a new subscriber as well. 60 year old Joey in Pennsylvania. Thanks a ton
These videos have taught me that bears don't feel pain.
I don't think most angry animals feel pain or let it bother them if they do feel it.
No I didn’t look at the pics on patreon they were the first thing that came up when I googled “bear winched out of cabin with tow truck” it’s truly massive.
He should have had his friend as backup this may never have happened to him if he had somebody behind him shooting
Absolutely he should of had a back up shooter with him to search for the bear. Stronger in numbers! I really dont think that bear spray would have been sufficient enough for this attack.
Pepper spray AKA bear spray effects people differently. It has the desired effect on something like 80-90% of humans. This is just my observation but the more enraged a perp is, the less effect spray has. It seems logical that bears reactions would parallel humans. The videos of bear spray working are calm non-agitated bears. You never see one where spray is stopping an enraged momma bear or just grouchy old bear that's been bullied as he got older, and wants to take out his frustration on weakly human.
The sceneries are beautiful, and so is the nature. In my old age, I’ve come to see that that’s the most beautiful thing on this world’s surface. Nothing else compares.
Thank you for sharing this very informative story. Scared the dickens out of me. My husband is a police officer, taught me how to shoot. I’ll always use him for my back up shooter, he never misses. Your episodes have taught me so much but I have no desire to go bear hunting. My husband and I own 100 acres heavily wooded property along Trout Creek just outside of Kirbyville, Texas. He said (but I know he enjoys teasing me) we have black bears in our property. Ever heard anything about it? Please let me know. I’m so scared, I won’t even go with him to the cabin we have there. Please let me know, and thank you again for your wonderful stories.
Bears are pretty rare in Texas, so the chances that there are any on your property are pretty remote.
@@paulinegallagher7821 Thank you so much, that gives me some relief
I believe bear spray is never enough and having a .44 mag revolver on a chest holster just makes common sense in areas with bears. If laws say no firearms, then stay out of the area. The bear spray game can be played by rangers who have no choice in the matter. Living off grid? get the .44 and get used to the weight. Keep it in good condition.
Sure took a lot of bullets to take this bear down. Juan was impatient and a pretty lousy shot. I don’t think bear spray would’ve helped. I’m glad Scott didn’t die. He was very lucky.
I would never enter any park that bears are residing without FULL legal protection.
I really learned alot from watching these amazing Bear videos . Especally what not to do around these bears. These Bears are amazing aminals but very dangerous aminals . They deserve out most respect when you in the woods .
Its hard to believe that a country that had so much wild places such as Canada has any laws that ban firearms anywhere. Like the couple that the wife was killed , had her husband been armed they both may have walked out of there. Joe in cabin without firarms is also hard to believe, why anyone would be there with no weapon is beyond me .uf you go into the wood , go armed gi knowing how to use your firearms . You have to know how to use anything you carry.. if your family likes the outdoors when any of them get old enough to have and use a firearm make sure they bring them . But a place that bans firearms is causing people to die .
Not true you can carry firearms for hunting in canada
I would never go into bear country without one of my weapons..the government can go pound sand..I’ll be alive. This man and his wife made the mistake of not taking care of themselves.
Pots and pans? Good lord what goes through the minds of these people? No respect for bears..I guess. More likely is that most people have become so “ civilized” they can’t comprehend true wilderness. I hope he trains and trains and trains with what ever weapon he buys so as not to shoot him self in the foot.🤦♂️ poor dog.
Why do we enjoy listening to these❤
I can't stop watching these, they're awesome! Where can I find your Patrion page? Thanks!
Very difficult to bring a firearm from USA into Canada. After watching your videos, not sure I trust hiking or visiting in Canada.
After hearing about their politics, and especially under Trudeau, I have no desire to visit Canada ever again. They've destroyed what once was a wonderful place people loved to visit, I even took a cruise there with my grandmother when I was younger. They only care about appeasing their destructive leftist population, which destroyed an amazing country in just a couple of years...
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
We have such beautiful country here in Canada. Im so grateful to live far enough from where bears reside! Only takes 5 hrs drive to see bears in their natural habitat.😊 i would absolutely recommend both bear spray and a registard licensed high powered pistol or riffel.
Love ur narration vibe and style
I don't understand why people want a bear skin rug. To me, it is morbid to use a dead animals hide as a badge of honor.
Any person entering a territory where bears are is totally insane. If jogging or hiking there is more important than your life then call yourself bear food and get on with it. I feel nothingness for the stupidity of humanity.
Atticus is second to none in telling these awesome bear stories! But no matter how many scary stories he tells, some people will throw caution to the wind, and for some reason, decide not to take bear spray or protection. I truly want them to survive, but I don’t feel weird or guilty for watching, because these are not ignorant people! ❤😌❤
No amount of bear spray could help the hunters.
Juan had a bear hunt that he'll never forget.
What I think is you can drastically reduce bear encounters .... If you stay the f#@k away from them
Can't even imagine how anyone survives this, ever...
It's Tragic that Such 'ARROGANCE' usually Concludes in ways as 'These'👀🤔😖😑
can't find PATREON ON HERE??
I will check it out. it should be at the top of the video article.
That's literally the entire reason I came to the comments and can't find it either...😫
Don't these people ever prepare? Bear spray, GUN, something!!! And I don't think I'd be worrying about going to confession at this time....no way....
Really sad seeing the slaughter of these bears just roaming in their own terrain. Following blood track is so disgusting.
You’re an amazing narrator.
The narration of this is computer generated FYI
Bears are unpredictable. Bear spray gives you about 10% chance of stopping a potential bear attack. A magnum pistol in a train shooter hand give you 95 % safety from a bear doing damage to you.😢
Playing dead does not work. Dont ever act submissive to a bear. Any kind of noise, and making yourself bigger and aggressive back can scare a bear off. Packing air horns or anything that makes a loud sound would have been enough to spook the bear. People seem to think that acting like an aggressor will make the bears furious and they will charge towards them. But bears spook easier than you think. But best advice of all, is just dont go hiking in bear country, its not remotely worth the risk.
My 104 dad told me never follow a wounded bear until you have given it time to die and NEVER go alone. ALWAYS HAVE CHEST GUN for backup PISTOL,use BIG powered guns
Your ballsy! I wouldn’t have been able to go to sleep with that bear lingering! Scary!
I saw a Black Bear in Yosemite National Park.
It was digging through a trash can. We were in the Winnebago and watched.
It grabbed some stuff out of the can, and then just walked away into the trees.
I HATE HUNTING. THAT POOR BEAR DID NOT NEED TO SUFFER 😢😢
ikr? it's absolute cruelty. I think there's a rule around hunting sows, but I'm not sure. BUT IMAGINE if a hunter killed a mother bear? what would happen to her cubs? they would die by starvation - one of the most horrible ways to die....
What a way to wake up in the morning a wild bear on your property might make me as white as a sheet(Terrified )and take away my 9 lives🤔.
I hate peoples who hunt for sport. It is so cruel and unnecessary. Get another hobby
When are the stupid going to stop going where they are NOT equipped to do so safely. The bears should never be blamed for stupid humans.
Wow Addicus, did you finish the cabin? I think that black bear was staking out your young children. So happy you are all ok !
We did finish it and it is so quiet within those log walls. My sons are now grown and love to go sleep by themselves in it. Makes me feel good knowing the are comfortable enough in it to do that.
Meant bear spray would NOT have helped.
I am so very, very sorry for the man that lost his new wife! Soooo sad. Paul and christine. Im so very sorry 😢 shoulda,,coulda, woulda,. Everyone has such different opinions, but unless your in this situation we dont really dont know. Be kind with our should haves 😢 this young man will forever suffer from ptsd. My heart goes out to him and families 😢😢
I think they are incredibly silly to jog in areas that are known bear habitat and have documented attacks already.
noise. make a BUNCH of noise.
Che paura
People are starving, too. In Kamchatka, I imagine the poverty is high. I think the brown bears attacked the guards bc they were hungry. I don't think they had a chance to cache the bodies.
In the first story…. The hunter became the hunted. Plain and simple. That poor bear was minding its own business, harming no one when Scot shot it, wounding it, causing unnecessary pain and suffering. Not for food, just for a trophy.😢. The poor animal only retaliated and defended itself. Why cause such suffering? So I have no sympathy for Scot, he brought it on himself… it didn’t need to happen and my sympathy is for the bear. Not all bears are good… this one didn’t attack, it didn’t need to die. Hope Scot understands that killing for sport is unacceptable now.
You asked if bear spray would help? One common theme in your stories are empty bear spray cans. I live on the Kenai peninsula in Alaska. I have little faith in bear spray.
Isabel, like wth , they watched him come back.
some people just ask for trouble why would anyone go jogging in bear territory it would be like going swimming in shark infested waters.
Failure to hunt or at least harass bears teaches them the area is theirs alone. Not educating bears to avoid humans is guaranteed to cost someone their life, along with the bear(s).
Coyotes have learned to run if they see a human with a rifle or a car that suddenly slows down and that car shot at them last week. (True story) Otherwise if left unmolested coyotes get very bold when they team up. Bigger the yote mob the more brazen they are and more dangerous to every animal including humans. To have a few yotes in the group with some fear of lethal lead is a benefit.
No experience with wolves but I'd wager they'd learn fast like yotes.
Scott’s a plonker got what he went looking for when he deliberately set out to torment the poor bear…
The bear was hungry, starving probably. Bear spray might have helped if at the ready, but to be honest I really don't know. It's the old saying, Shit Happens.
Not Carrying 10 mm SemiAuto and Target Practiced Quick Draw, is Extreme Ignorance in Bear Country, Thankyou, 20 years from Alaska,
The bear was defending itself .
Pretty stupid to track a seriously wounded bear into heavy brush
These stories of people completely unprepared to take care of themselves and their loved ones leave me totally exasperated. The story of Ace just makes me sick. I would have much preferred that his owner pay the ultimate price for his stupidity, not the dog. These Canadians who are deprived the ability to carry firearms should take to carrying Masai spears and other huge fantastical weapons.
32:40 Only a 130 pounds ?? I’ve faced off against wild boars twice that weight in Fl a half dozen times in my life In Florida. You would think you would stand a good chance at fighting a bear that light off . You would think so anyway. But these national parks that don’t allow their guest to care pew pews to protect themselves against bears or even certain people are putting their guests in unreasonable harm for no measurable good I can think of should rethink their policies
Takes Juan to know Juan.
He's not like all the otters.
