Bears don’t need provocation. They’re freaking bears.
Exactly, they are wild.
I was thinking the same. It’s a wild animal.
All the men killing all the mother bears with their cubs every year is enough provocation for me. If I was a bear, I would be pissed
@@parrotsandmore7446 if you were a bear? Lol
@@parrotsandmore7446 you are dumb Right?
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.
You should learn to control your dog or shoot it.
Where in TN? I'm in Chattanooga and people have seen them not a mile from my house near an exit off 75
@@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.
Funny how they use the word "unprovoked" as if this was an altercation between two people.
It’s ridiculous. It’s a damn bear.
@JohnnytNatural it is appriopriate to say. Bears dont typically attack people
@@billythekidder7182 What does that mean? It has a temperament. Goof
@@jmfia2391 it means that you’re an idiot. It’s pretty self explanatory.
I absolutely agree, because nobody ever asks the bear for his side of things, probably a political argument. Everyone else here is just wrong, living close to the woods is enough provocation, we are supposed to be the smart ones after all and the woods are his house.
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.
Great comment. Thanks
Grizzlies and black bears are the same bear, learn before speaking.😊
@@yourallsinners1 Wrong. You're probably thinking grizzlies and brown bears dumb dumb.
@@yourallsinners1 wrong, grizzlies and kodiak are a species of brown bear not black
True. And grizzlies may stop or may decide to eat a person while they're still alive.
Mental advice. If a bear is going to attack, better be armed
I can't imagine what this man went through before he died 😢
I can, it was extremely painful and terrifying
Justice 😊
@@yourallsinners1 you meant to call yourself "we" are all sinners didn't you? After all, the faithful believe we have dominion over animals, so a person of faith wouldn't call it justice for an animal to kill a human.
I feel sorry for the bear
enraged mauling and ripping to shreds with razor sharp massive claws and fangs a bear has unbelievable strength
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.
You're correct a bear killed a 61 y.o.lady in Pinetop Az who was out walking her dog
might be telling that we need to keep their numbers in check if people are seeing a black bear on a Florida beach
Yes.Of course.
Wonder why people don't quit moving into their territory??
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
Me too! I live in bear country (Montana) and it’s on my mind a lot. I sometimes get panic attacks about it
@@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 ...
You’ve got ENOUGH to worry about living in CHICAGO! I think you can forget about Bears 😂😂
@@lindahoffman2692 🤣🤣🤣🤣 exactly!
"It was daylight." These bears should know the rules.
I wish he had his gun poor man r.i.p
This was extremely rare having black bear attacks in Arizona
I think sometimes people forget bears are predators. I wont want to live nowhere near bears at all
Awful. 💔 My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace. 🕊💫
or in this case...pieces If you are in bear territory, and are not prepared to defend yourself in the event of an encounter, well...good luck.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Except Bears.... Bears will kill you.
Woooow 💀why would you joke about that
Funny joke except someone lost their life in a very gruesome way.
@@GreatwhiteShark88 I am willing to bet that neither the guy drinking coffee or the bear are reading these threads, so I think we are going to be ok here.
@@IDontBuyIt50 you maybe right😂
@@IDontBuyIt50 what about the guy’s family/friends?
I don't understand the final laughing in the studio actually
correction. this was the first KNOWN fatal black bear encounter in Arizona since the 1980's
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.
Preferably a rifle.
That’s silly, black bears live near populated areas through the country and almost never attack humans. This is a an extremely rare occurrence
@@coltonfagundes5755 That doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
Extremely rare.. literally been happening since the beginning of humanity....
There was a dude down south in Alabama Georgia drunk hunting hogs when some pigs goared him to death but they just called it a hunting accident
Yes but the rate of it happening is still rare. There probably hasn't even been 1000 bear attacks unprovoked
Not his property. Man chose to build on bear territory. Animals never act out of the blue. They don’t have that mental capacity.
No different then White men Build on Native Indian territory flight back end up DEAD
Smh
The bears territory is most western states, BC, and Alaska.
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.
@@adecarlo29411 agree! We choose to live here, we should be aware of the risks.
May have been Cocaine Bear... but the guy built a house in Bear territory...
You buy a power ball ticket with almost no chance to win so always carry bear spray with almost no chance of a attack, Same logic.
He owned it but the bear doesn't read or have boundaries.
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 ]
His property was on bear country
The bear was hungry
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!
Yeah I can’t believe it, we knew the guy but we heard he was working on his house when he was pulled down from a latter
Some woman in another video is claiming he kicked the bear and provoked it into attacking.
@@tractorfeed7602 I doubt it, one of the nicest guys I knew, he was coaching soccer with my father in Tucson for years
@@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
🐻 Sadly, the bear didn't know it was on the man's property.
Nice round of chuckles after someone got mauled to death.
A wild animal attack isn't as shocking as those news readers' laughing at it.
There is a reason we did not see them 20 years ago. So blame those that want them in residential areas.
Well if u have bears around you should be armed anyway
bears are predators.
bears get hungry...
Why did the bear attack the man?
Because it's a bear.
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. 🥺
That’s WILD
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.
The reporter forgot to mention the race of the bear
..and blame Trump for the beat's attack.
Can you imagine being mauled to death by a bear holy moly
No, I don't want that in my imagination. There are plenty of scary bear stories to watch on UA-cam. Stay Safe in Bear Country AND outside period. .
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.
A dog is the best selfdefense....
Pretty sure Joe Rogan will talk more about this
The poor guy couldn’t even finish his Coffee ☕️
Do not take up for the BEAR!! SMDH
Lol they are surprised about predatory behaviour from a predator…
nice job reporting the location… just somewhere in arizona
UN-provoked? They're ALL unprovoked.
condolences to Mr. Jacksons loved ones and family members, so very scary.
Bears dont need provocation 🙄
Yes, black bears do. This is extremely rare behavior and new emerging behavior
I don’t go to the wilderness without my 💥💥💥💥🤷♂️ and if I live there it’s always on me!
Bear took your middle tooth
That bear must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed
Joking when a family is mourning u Crazy
@@LB-lx8iq would you say it woke up on the wrong side of the den?
Nah he woke up hungry as hell😂
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.
Little joke at the end there really lightened it up. Mans dead, but hey, a little humour in the studio
Do some pushups. I fought a bear before..I still wear his fur in the winter.....
There are no bears on my property but how can I go to the forest after what happened
Stop building and taking away the land.
So sad for this man. Glad ppl tried to help.
Best advice....have an AR style Assault Rifle with you at all times. If they approach you....Fire like Hell!!
One of the worst ways to go. Eaten alive. Ugh.
Unprovoked.......remember it's a bear doing bear stuff
The ladies pseudo joke at the end was a little wierd for the context
That darn bear knew what he was doing! Stop playing! Poor Man, RIP!😮
"let me explain how rare this is"
Translation: don't worry folks, keep going out and consuming
ie - please don't hate on bears and go on a rampage. And don't be bearist, you haters ! human supremist !
Arm yourself
Unprovoked bear attack. As opposed a provoked bear attack. Hey bear, you have a problem?? You looking at be mama bear...
He thought it was HIS property
Where was the bear spray
Killer whales and Bears rising up.
Ban assault bears.
Come on man look where you live I’ll be strapped up
We have raised generations of garbage bears in my neighborhood. They aren't scared of people.
Stranger things are on the way for the inhabitants of an empire in decay.
Condolences to his loved ones.
I can't tell if you are referring to the decay of america and americans, or the decay of nature and wildlife. Its all accurate.
But none of the neighbours had the balls to charge the bear bunch of wussies
That man should’ve showed The bear the deed to the property. That He owned the property not the bear
बहुत ही दुखद समाचार है
What's wrong with these people, it's a wild bear it has a mind of its own..
You don’t actually have to say “hey bear!” As they don’t know what you’re saying lol Just be loud and appear big and mean.
I will guarantee someone has been feeding him
You move into a wooded area and you’re provoking the animals that live there! So are you saying the black bear is a murderer and planned this out 🤦♂️
Black Bear 🐻 disputed that it was his property. - It's mine & I'm reclaiming it.
If it’s brown, lie down. If it’s black, fight back.
If it’s white, say good night
@@unknownuser6757 Right! I forgot that part.
@@brocknspectre1221 Ah
That black bear probably killed him for the same reason people kill them. 🤦🏿♂️
" Bear kills trespasser" There I fixed the headline for you.
Young male Black bear kills man
I need to make sure my guns are more easily accessable to me. You never know when you might need them.
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.
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.
Unprovoked attack? The bear was probably provoked by a human invading the bear's homeland....
The cocaine bear has risen again

Well, I WAS about to drive up to Flag for a nice little hike today but now I’m thinking I might just go to the gym instead and deal with the cougars.
It was Smokey the Bear....
Also might not be a bad idea to always look in the trees because you never know who might be watching you! Lions & Tigers and BEARS oh my!!!!
That is the bears property dummies!!
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
What the hell are bears, and mountain lions doing in the mountains? Or sharks in the ocean? Something has to be done!!! “Sarcasm “
Cocaine Bear? Fentanyl Bear?
Black Bears Matter
Meth bear 😂
Sounds to me like the animals are loosing their areas in life to live, many fires have taken over the home of wildlife!
Very scary topic. The injection of humor by the anchor about running backwards and laughing is inappropriate as a poor man was mauled to death.
Ummm..maybe it was hungry? I mean when youre hungry you eat things....
Unprovoked, but his property is way outside of city limits.. this is bear country not human country.. quit moving into their territory..
It was daylight the man says. Like that matters?
Had to laugh the way he said that.
Horrifying, prayers for the victim, and family.
Prayer: Saying that you’re going to do something, without actually doing anything.
