I'm in East TN and had an encounterwith a black bear with two cubs in my backyard a couple nights ago. I almost walked right up on them in a dimly lit area in a tree without knowing until I heard the mother make that gutteral warning which scared the crappola out of me. I was probably about 20 feet away from it and backed off but couldn't leave because they were within 15 feet of my dog lot and I was afraid the mother would attack my dog (the one in my avatar) that was barking. I ended up firing off a 9mm round in it's direction and the sound apparently caused it to drop out of the tree and move away, calling it's cubs to also descend to the ground and follow it out of my yard. One of the scariest experiences of my life.
@@rtc2112 I'm near Johnson city but there have been sightings all over this area. Someone had mentioned there's an issue with berries/food sources not being as readily available as most years which is driving the bears towards more populated areas looking for food.
The other reason you fight a black bear and play dead with a grizzly is because black bears are not normally aggressive so if you get attacked by one it probably intends to kill and eat you. A grizzly on the other hand is more aggressive and may just attack you because it feels threatened but is not intending to eat you. If a grizzly thinks it's killed you or messed you up enough he may stop attacking and leave.
I believe the last fatal attack in Az was in 2011, not in the 1980s. Also, while rare, as they are usually timid, predatory black bear attacks are well documented. Few if any were because the bear was sick or old, etc. It is usually young males that are either habituated or unfamiliar with people (as in Alaska). A truly terrifying fate.
Sounds realistic. The narrative on TV is geared more or less to suburbanites who want to believe it won't happen to them. Here in Fairfax county northern Virginia, a stone's throw from the capitol, there were several black bear sightings in broad daylight (4 pm) following a trail that runs from the Shenandoah mountains to DC under some high power lines. The bear(s) did not seem the least bit concerned by humans. I do wish they would eat some of the too numerous deer.
This is one of my biggest fears dying from bear any kind would terrify me coming by one glad we don't have em here in Chicago but even just seeing one would give me a heart attack
@@BrillGirl82 Carry a cell phone. No need to panic. You are more likely to be harmed by a redneck in your neck of the woods than a bear. That said, bears will literally eat you alive.
Me too. Not likely to happen at all where I live, actually pretty much impossible, but it's one of my worst fears. So, of course, I had to watch this, ahem ...
Horrible...my condolences to this man's family! I feel so bad that a fellow human being was killed by that vicious, ferocious bear! And he obviously did not provoke the animal as it came into his property. SAD and I will pray for his family that they come to feeling better in time!
@@tyroberts2077 I doubt it too. I asked her the same thing about that woman who was mauled by a bear while she was talking on the phone, that girl who was sleeping in a hammock, and the toddler pulled out of her stroller. She said the bears were all reacting in self defense
Another reason encounters are on the rise is because idiots on social media have popularized FEEDING THEM! Bears are APEX PREDATORS… not cute little puppies! Feeding a bear or any wildlife animal is a death sentence for the animal and the human it may encounter smh! My condolences go out to this man’s family and friends! This was Such a horrible tragedy. 🥺
If youre building house ON bears backyard ALWAYS carry GUN -ALWAYS .. and bear spray and [ fireworks and lighter ready to ignite if bear at far distance ]
Actually they don't have the mental capacity to plan an attack in advance. They often act out of the blue" because they respond to situations and opportunities.
The bear was a healthy male, weighed about 350 or better, I think, with a good layer of fat. They’re opportunistic feeders. A 66 year old human male probably weighs 180. The bear assessed the odds and liked them. They’re smart. Really smart.
Whose property? Maybe the bear considered it his property. More and more people are building cabins and homes in areas that are in wildlife areas. It's tragic this happened because the bear will probably lose his/her life as well. We need to give more respect to wildlife and back off the development of wildlife areas.
I can tell you it's a wild animal and the only thing predictable about a bear is it unpredictable . I live in bear country they are not to be trusted. Isn't a disney movie out there. To bad about the guy.
Mauled by a Bear, or Eaten by a Shark, both are horrific ways to go. Either way you are going to be eaten by an animal or fish while you are still alive. Gives some people the heebee geebees.
So…”brown bear” means grizzly bear. Some black bears are brown in color. Just clarifying, because recognizing which are which and responding appropriately saves lives.
You say unprovoked attack as if there was a possibility the bear and the man were arguing like people . What provoked the bear was hunger and people living in its habitat and people being food . People need to start taking their surroundings more seriously
Why the hell was a man, ANYWHERE NEAR A BEAR??? They are NOT PETS. And, i might remind you, they think you are living on THEIR LANDS. AND they DON'T HAVE LAWYERS.
People just gotta remember that you're in their yard. They said it was an unprovoked attack, but how do we know that? The bear can't speak. We don't know what the man might have done or not done. It could be that the bear was just tired of seeing the man encroaching upon his land, constantly taking more and more of HIS land. Hmmmmm...... man has a steady history of doing that.
@Boxing Sense Maybe so, but out of all of the animals, man (with the exception being the Native American) is the only animal that doesn't know how to share and takes, and takes, and takes without giving back.
No it wasn’t there was a guy that died in 2011 from a bear attack get your facts straight. If you’re gonna report the news, make sure you get your facts straight stop doing this.
It's sad. But I don't blame the bear it might of been starving or might of been sick, or like they said predatory which is very rare. Again sad this happend. Rip to both
Was none of those. Fat, not sick, around 8-10 yrs old. Terrible this happened. Bear did it. For you city folk, it is wise to carry a weapon (not a small 9mm) for the rare occurrence(s) of when a bear or mountain lion decides it's not your day today. Of course as they say, you really need a firearm in the remote woods for the two-leggers and not the wildlife.
Hi Michael...:-) The reason there are more bear attacks, is because the bond between bears and mankind has been broken. This occurred several years ago, when trump passed a law in Alaska, allowing hunters to kill female bears with their cubs inside their dens. The only advice I can give, is carry bear spray at all times and know how to use it! Bears are moving all around because they feel their not safe in their dens anymore...:-( Hey Michael, I told you long ago, in College Park Maryland, Dunk in Donuts, you would be great as a TV personality...;-) I'm never wrong...;-) I remembered when you showed your small Bible on the air...:-) Also, if a male bear charges, stand your ground, don't yell, don't show your teeth and don't look a bear in the eye-they are signs to a bear that you are aggressive. Bears eat before daybreak and at sunset, usually. This attack, anything could have happened. If someone hurts a bear, even a little, that bear will kill the person.
Obviously AZ isn't going to have lots of bear attacks since its dry desert as well. Part of the reason a guy like this got killed is because when it happens people always say 'OHHH ITS SOOOOOO RARE' its not rare - if you are cooking and in their habitat - they are coming and you need to be ready to defend your life.
@@deer105 its 85% desert so people in AZ don't encroach on bear territory therefore bear attacks are lower because people are not near bears, not because of bear behavior. I guess that's hard to understand. The point being if you go to them its not a rare phenomena to encounter them and all bear encounters are potentially dangerous or fatal.

Best thing you can do is carry a f*cking gun when in an area that bears live. That death could have been avoided with a pistol.
