No better story teller than Steve! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us your videos!
Mr Ballen is but this guy is good too
If bear travelled in packs, like wolves, hunters would be fked
Good maybe they would stay out of bear country!
Michael Jordan , Whats the matter pussey? Got no balls? Happy there under mommies bed in your "safe place". No guts to go face the REAL WORLD. Self righteous judgemental ass who thinks the whole world should revolve around your ball less attitude. Get a LIFE & in the meantime, just STFU!!
Deb long , Sure they do. Just in different styles. Some folks hunt in grocery stores where they pay others to do their killing/butchering for them. And the more HONEST hunters do it w weapons. So dont go supporting all the "holier than thou" bunch that condems the honest ones. EVERYONE is a hunter one way or another. Even self righteous vegans. Kirleain photography has proven even plants "scream" when being harvested/eatin. Shows as electrical patterns. Its the smug self righteous folks who try to play they're better. They're just hypocrites who live in na na land of denial. The reality is this. Something has to die so that other things can live. It ALL cycles around in one form or another. Called "The cycle of life" & its what keeps this old world working.
Deb long , Eat them, make trappers hats from their furs & have their skulls mounted over my cabin door to greet visitors. Trick to bear meat is slow cook em w half an onion for a day. Throw out the old water/onion & repeat another day. By day 3 the "gamey" taste is gone. Strip it out, add Barbeque sauce & glaze it into the meat. Food for the Gods. Very similar to pork BBQ. BTW, dipshit started it by condeming hunters. Just another citiot hypocrite.....
@Deb long Hunters are constantly being attacked by tree huggers and liberals so I say he gets to be a little sensitive now and then
Man i love this channel. its like having my Grandad read old Outdoor Life stories to me again like he did when i was a Kid. Thanks man, keep up the good work, this is great!
Not for nothin but man you gotta sue Mr. Clean.....they are using your spitting image as the new Mr. Clean......okay so now for the reason for this post....I have hunted for 45+ years and you are cut from the cloth all great hunters are cut from......every dad in this country and Canada should send their kid to spend a season with you....,would do the world a lot of good.....keep up the great work....,.
If a guy makes a bad shot and wounds a bear it sucks but it happens. But when they run off and don’t listen and then make a bad shot that a whole different level of pissed off
At that point he's on his own he wants to hurt solo he can retrieve it himself
No s*** you wanted to be the big man takes a shot now hero you go find his ass and finish him off. I'll be listening for the scream so let everybody know what happen. So I'm f****** people shouldn't have a gun. How's that saying go you can't fix stupid.
You make the stories come ALIVE,keep'em coming!!
I love all your hunting stories! My husband is an avid hunter, and hearing you talk about your experiences gives me a lot of insight. I especially love the Sasquatch stories because they...pretty much everyone..thinks I’m crazy!? You are a GUIDE and a serious game hunter. Maybe you were meant to be a part of awakening people of their true existence? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to tell your stories... 👍🏼🦶🏾🐻🦌🦈🐏
I love these stories man, you should do hunting story Sunday or just make it a weekly or bi weekly thing, thanks for the awesome stories and helpful tips!
I’m going on my first grizzly hunt this year!
Great Story. Don't go chasing after any injured Bears,especially if it's a Grizzly! Polar Bears and the Kodiacs as well as any other subspecies of Brown Bear are better off left to their own devices.
You are definitely crazy for not carrying a large cal.revolver on you while in bear country,or Cougar country either one. That's your only last hope to never have your own story about being savaged by a bear if things go wrong. I'd much rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it. Some beasts just don't play around with a man.
Lions. Tigers. And Bears. Oh My
Your the best Steve. Fly-fisher woman. Thanks LOVE your videos
I have had repeated dreams of being attacked by Grizzlies. Never been in their habitats but I have seen how huge they can get. I could not imagine what it would be like to be in those jaws.
Love your bear stories, they make me feel like I'm there.
From a physiological standpoint things tend to go in slow motion because your brain ramps up its processing power of visual information, it also shuts down its long-term memory, they suspect because the brain is processing for the information faster that you see time as moving slower, just as a fly because of its tiny brain and the small distances between its senses, its brain processes time significantly slower than we do.
Problem is this heightened state generates Heat and the adrenaline damages organs over time, your brain can't maintain this type of processing power so it only happens temporarily when adrenaline rushes. Hence why almost every individual that goes through an extremely traumatic experience says the same thing, it feels like time slows down, and that's most likely because it did. In the sense that your brain was able to capture more information per second
You are by far the BEST gd story teller I've ever seen!!!
You didn't comment on this issue, but it seems to me that your friend, the guide, should be the taker of that bear trophy, no questions asked. Aside from a verbal lashing, the hunter should not be rewarded for that kill, based on the way that hunt went down. His actions were so reckless it's hard to justify. On top of that, the guide's actions (while being mauled!) are incredible, and he is clearly lucky to still be here. So that's my personal opinion. I know you do not comment much, but if you do, I'd like your thoughts on how it sorted out in that case. And thanks for a wild story!
I love your stories!! Keep them coming!
We live in the hidesert of southern California, with big mountains behind us. When my mother was alive, we had mountain lions, Bob cats and brown bears that wandered through our property. These critters would come into the porch of my mother's trailer. She liked to put out pans of water and dry dog food to feed the hungry critters. I told my mother that someday the critters would eat her!!! Wild critters are wild and need to be respected and they don't want to be tamed!!!
I’ve been waiting for this story!
Wonderful . U are a great storyteller.could listen to you for hours
"Nothing displays, or can display true rage like the North American Grizzly Bear" #truth
Hmmm, nothing? I would expect more than a few African guides who hunt lion to disagree, as well as a few individuals who have had the misfortune to be on the receiving end of a tiger attack. I'd be willing to bet that even Steve, if hard pressed, would include the really big cats in the "most terrifying during an all out charge" category, even though he has never experienced one first hand. Love your stuff Steve, best channel out there.
@Redwoodrebelgirl I got that. Trust me. Using ACTUAL experiences with enraged wildlife leads me to put big cats at the top of the " most terrifying when enraged" list. Not that a sow protecting Cubs can't be terrifying, of course they can, but the cats add incredible athleticism beyond the capabilities of any bear. Siberian tigers prey on brown bears.......
@Redwoodrebelgirl nope, it's all good. No worries.
Hey Steve. Your so descriptive in your stories man. I love the stories brother. totally awesome
I went with a friend to Yellow Stone National Park and leaving because of no dogs allowed in the hiking trails, I saw a bull seven by seven on a steep slope with two smaller satellite bulls over a big boulder about two stories high over looking the road. I only got three mountain lion stories and one jackarundy story. But yours are hum dingers.
It's like climbing Mt Everest with a guide. You are still responsible for yourself. You shouldnt expect the guide to carry/haul you up and down the mountain
Just last year in New Hampshire I was at Attitash Mountain. I was walking out to my car because we were still at the ranch. Me being stupid I was not being aware of my surroundings. While I was walking to my car I literally felt the ground shake in front of me. Keep in mind it is pitch dark out at the moment. So I looked in front of me after I stopped and there was literally a massive blackbear 3 feet in front of me. I’m not even joking when I say 3 feet. It was the biggest blackbear I have ever seen. It’s snarled at me and I was never more scared in my life because I didn’t have a weapon on me or anything. For some reason God or whatever was watching over me that day and I believe it was God because that thing snarled at me three times and then walked away. I couldn’t believe it. I put an extra five minutes into my prayer that night
Just was not your time to go.
God indeed was watching
over you.
My sister in law lives in N. H.
She loves the outdoors.
To say it’s strange to NOT have a guide HAVE A FIREARM is an understatement to say the least. I’m not too proud or bashful to say it. I’ve ALWAYS understood AND READ stories from WAAAAAY back about ‘Guides HAVING guns’. I’ll admit, I’ve also NEVER paid a guide to do anything FOR ME personally; I’ve done all my hunting in Texas and Montana (12 years) on my own. But what do I know...
My dad talked about inexperienced hunters thinking they were stalking grizzly bears when in fact the bear was stalking them. This was in the 1920s in Idaho.
This guy somehow makes me laugh harder than any comedian ever has.
Great grizzly story Steve love the story's you have. Your the man living the life man I envy you and the life you have. Got to be so great . Always dreamed to go on a guided hunt in BC my dream unfortunately I'll never see this to come true. But what can you do but dream and listen to the man who's living the life . Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your channel and sharing your STORYS with me. Plz accept me on your fb page it's been pending awhile now and can't wait to look and watch all that's on there. Stay safe and God bless you and yours buddy
Bears are the utmost animal here in the North woods to be respected.
Great story teller, man. Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't know about these things, if it weren't for you. Please be careful out there, really enjoyed the story. All the way from Texas.
Hi Steve ty for sharing these great stories about the grizzly bears stay safe out there
I love your stories man, thanks! I think if I was going to hunt for a grizzly bear I would choose you.
Man, hell of a story scary shit! Grizzly bears ain't no joke.
I did some guiding in North-Central B.C. A friend gave me some great advice. When things get fast and close, the thing to do is turn scoped rifle sideways and site down barrel. This technique must be practiced. It works. It saved my beans. A hunter wounded a griz. I did the merciful. You are right. My shit got shaky. The growling was as if a furious demon, and the sound was tough to pinpoint in the dense brush. Last second, full attack from under some deadfall. I had a mauser 1935 7x57 and 140 gr sierra bt. handloads. The bear was10 feet in front of me, when I fired. The bear skidded UPHILL to my feet, stone dead. The bullet entered the skull via the right side of the left eye. I had to recover awhile, as I had an instant migraine headache from the stress of it. The bear's left femur had been smashed by the hunter's bullet. Very likely would have bled out overnight, but who knows? those are tough creatures. Full charge with its leg flopping behind, did not slow it at all. despite incredible blood loss. In hind sight, 7x57 did NOT feel like enough gun at the time. a heavier projectile may have been preferable. That experience caused me to re-evaluate my zeal for hunting grizzly. The cleaned skull later showed complete fracture. The bullet was recovered from inside the brain cavity. I still have it. I consider myself lucky. P.S. Carry sidearm is not an option In Canada. Liberals. You know.
One of the best bear stories ever!!!
When people ask about Grizzly Attacks I always tell them that if you see recent signs of a grizzly bear don’t camp there it is not worth finding out.
Climbing up a tree for safety and I say no you climb a tree so you only have one direction of Attack. I tell them about a video that I saw on UA-cam of a black bear who wondered into Grizzly Territory and when the Grizzly came to discuss the situation the Black bear climbed up a tree as far as he dare . The black bear weighs 300 pounds the grizzly bear over 1000 pounds so if the Grizzly climbs up to the black Bear and fights the top of the tree will break off and it was a big ass tree so the grizzly bear in order to get his message across stripped every single branch off of that tree all the way to the ground it took him three times to do the job not one branch left it looked like a telephone pole .
That black bear was not stupid enough to wait for the super pissed off Grizzly bear to regroup.
Hey Steve, great content and thanks for all your hard work! Do you have any plans to offer your expertise of your hunting and fishing apps for android products? Keep up the fight for those that cant!!!!!!
Fantastic story, and story teller. Live up here above Yellowstone and I'm always aware whose land I travel through.
use to read the old frontier stories about the BEAR. those are terrifying! and having that in memory, I squirmed through half of the 90s movie "THE EDGE". love it all, including your stories.....the one about the moose leading the bear right to you and your hunter was my favorite story of yours about the mighty Mountain Grizzly. 😁
I wish I could go hunting with this guy is like to hear his stories in person around a camp fire lol
I love your stores and can't wait for every new upload. I know your busy but you should upload more
"Drop to the knee and start shooting! " . That's my tactic when aggressive rabbits charge me in Australia 😋.
Seriously though, great yarn, i enjoyed it. Glad we don't have large bears here. Mind you, an aggrieved koala...😱
So much harder to shoot from a crouched position
@Chris H. You have plenty of other animals as well as salties and extremely venomous snakes to contend with though. That's not even counting the huge Great Whites.
Love this dude. Tell the little man-babies what’s what. Love it.
Funny, my stories are me and Free Bee the dog running the little black bears out of the trash.
you have great rants. sweet love it
Keep the grizzly stories coming
Great 'attack' video!!!!! Watching that guys mouth move was just packed with entertaining moments. NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Can u tell some Cougar stories?
Still don't know why would anybody NOT have his own gun for protection.
I thought he explained this...
@@wavular I heard him talking something about the guy who's being guided should only carry the gun and only him. Like "You're the man now!"
Maybe I didn't listen very carefully, but was there some valid reason for not bringing his backup gun?
@@attiylanen he said it's too much weight and he is lazy and doesn't like to carry it because he doesn't have a tag for an animal and this type of thing rarely happens so he takes his chances
@@Impossibly-Possible Ok, though, that doesn't make sense to me. If a grizzly would come charging towards me at full speed, I wouldn't be thinking about a missing tag. I'd be aiming between the eyes. I wish he would carry for extra insurance. But, to each their own.
I don't hunt. Never have. But your stories are fascinating. Holy shite!
Great story and the basis of my tenet # 3. DON'T PANIC!
Grizz stories are the best!!!
U cured me from ever wantin a griz hunt...
and the people losing their shit over carrying a sidearm are most likely americans that dont realize that in canada we aren't legally allowed to take hand guns, or any other restricted firearm, hunting or fire it anyplace other than a gun range....
All I’m gonna say is something I’ve been told my whole life, “it’s better to have and not need than to need and not have.” Even though it’s obviously not your responsibility to protect these hunters, I would still like to have a gun on me just for my own protection, which 99.9% of the time you’ll never need to use but it’s still better to be safe.
Maybe a pissed off raging Sasquatch ripping you apart limb by limb could be worse than a Grizzly lol
Also quick question, how come people hunt bears? Curious
You're hunting, you're guiding, all creatures are People - we all interchange species. Karma.
The torture that poor bear went through is horrible. We were taught shoot to kill. No unnecessary pain for the animal. This is criminal. 😡
Dave paulides says he'll never not carry a side arm hiking or hunting! I carry my rifle and 2 side pieces and after listening to u and paulides I'll never stop carry my side piece no matter where I'm going lol.
Ever hear that joke where the bear wanted a full belly and the hunter wanted a bear coat?
one point you have got to watch a bear will back track on you
David, and a cougar will back trail you. It happened to my dad and his buddy while hunting in OR. Luckily they were in snow and we're very seasoned hunters
Geeeez that was crazy....and after watching a lot of your content you put out, I got one for you....black bear.....on go pro....
You'd be surprised how many people DO carry in NP's which IS legal and, in fact, Glazier Nat'l Park now recommends you carry. I am shocked you (and others) don't carry, not to 'protect' the hunters, but to protect yourself; but, it's your life. My only question is, "Why not (carry)?" There is absolutely NO reason not to carry.
Dude, what I say to those thousands and thousands of people that go to parks each year without a gun, I say to them, YOU ARE TAKING A RISK!! There, no you have the answer to your question.
Genuinely stupid question; why does he call them "boar" grizzly bears? He does it in several videos, I don't get it.
Awesome tip! Get on your knees, I would of never thought of that, corse we don't have grizzlies here in southeast Az.
Goodness you have the most beautiful blue eyes! Your stories are awesome to.
Great advice "drop to one knee now you're the same level as the bear" . I can see myself using that advice while camping here in scotland, hunting wild haggis.they're a solitary beastie most of the year and very territorial ,a bit like the bear.you only need to get too close to their lair and you might be in for the fight of your life. We don't have bears in Scotland due to the haggis eating them almost to extinction.👍
Your the man Steve 😊✌️
One frakin shot , one kill , if you can't don't hunt .
Yes shit happens but you may be looking to kill your prey but goddamn don't have to cause it to suffer! You're taking a life , respect that !
Unreal hearing what that client did! He had the drop on the bear, time to make a good shot, and STILL fucked it up? I have to imagine that taking a shot at a Grizzly has got to be one of thee most important times in your life to get the shot RIGHT! Eesh.
Wow I’m binging on your videos and I don’t hunt anymore or even fish I’m fascinated
If I was tracking a wounded grizzly, the only brown lightning would be in my pants.
But the thousands and thousands of tourists aren’t seeking to have a confrontation with a bear. They aren’t hunting. So I agree with the commentators. You absolutely should have a sidearm, not to hunt but for you and your clients protection. You’ve stated in other bear hunt stories that you really don’t know this guy you are with, therefore, you don’t know how they are going to react or if they can hit the broadside of a barn. You are not there to babysit but absolutely it’s your obligation to provide a certain level of protection and at the very least some back up. If not, then why are you there?
We like the grizzly stories because they're freaking terrifying :)
Case closed in fatal griz attack

@@wyominghorseman9172 That is sad, my condolences to his family. Back around 86 a hunter in Northern B.C was killed while packing out a caribou, he shot the bear 4 times but it still killed him before dying within a few feet of the hunter.

The sagebrush was 6 to 8 feet tall - like navigating a corn maze. Darkness had not completely lifted and it was snowing heavily in the country north of Yellowstone National Park. Upon hearing an elk bugle some 100 to 150 yards away, seasoned hunters Bob Legasa, of Hayden, and Greg Gibson, of Sandpoint, headed toward a prominent tree. They sought a clearing to spot the elk they had scouted the day before.Instead, they were met with the growl of a big grizzly bear cub. About 500 pounds of mother bear wasn’t far behind. www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/oct/15/man-survives-grizzly-bear-attack-in-montana-wilder/
Report on the Soda Butte Bear Attacks Released Aug 16th 2010
A grizzly bear consumed a "significant portion" of the torso of a Michigan man fatally mauled by the grizzly last month, according to a 70-page U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report released today.
The report speculates that the events slowly escalated from the first attack, where the bear fled after being punched, to serious injury to a Canadian woman's arm, to the fatal mauling.
Two other people were injured the same morning at at Cooke City-area campground by the same bear, a grizzly sow with three yearling cubs. The sow was euthanized and the cubs are now housed at ZooMontana in Billings.

I am fascinated by Big Bear stories because I just can't imagine what you guys are doing walking around with those killing machines ready to eat you.
I thank you for all you do bringing the stories to us. I used to hunt a lot when I was young too almost like you describe yourself in your youth. I took a different path to prove my manhood, or I thought I had chosen one enlisting. It's all good through that one day as you have described when it all goes against you. I can tell by your manner and bearing that you are the real deal. So when I hear you speak I know I'm hearing the truth. Or as close to the truth is any man can relay. Your stories take me back to a time when I too was that guy, young and vital, full of vim and vigor or as my grandfather used to say full of piss and vinegar. Your stories help me in ways you could never imagine. I am again alive when I hear you recount your experiences. Like I said I can tell when a man tells the truth. I thank you very much for all you do
Love you hunting stories , not quite on the sasquatch thing I've been hunting throughout Ak Canada, north America and never encountered a Sasquatch , needless to.say I am a non believer that they exist ,too many hunters and photo opps with no real proof they are real ,but your hunt storys are very much like mine ,even the cussing , keep it up your fantastic with it.
You are an awesome story teller. Love them all. But I would still carry a gun because of the unpredictability of nature.
Yep, Smith & Wesson 500. I'd rather have a broke wrist than my head ripped off.
Yes the story kind of emphasizes that having a gun can save your life under these circumstances.... I understand it doesn't always save your life, But especially guides who are so experienced, have a better chance of shooting and killing a bear that's attacking than an average person
When I go out in the wilderness I carry a gun because of the other people I might run into. It just helps keep people safe and rational. I’ve been a victim of violent crimes but never been attacked by nature. Just sayin.
Always be safe than sorry, always packing, the kitchen sink and watching the survival guy for more tips.
I trust 4 legged creatures a lot more than I trust legged ones
Would have never thought of dropping to a need to shoot a bear with the way you explained it makes perfect sense definitely something to know in the woods thanks. keep up the bear stories they are outstanding you tell them well.
You can't outrun a charging bear, so you might as well wait until he's close enough that you can't miss.
Thanks for the knee advice.
Great story! You do a great job with these.
Tachypsychia is the term for distortion of time associated with adrenaline response or duress. I've seen dozens of black bears but only a couple grizzlies, and it is an awesome experience. Men aren't used to being with other apex predators and it is sobering to know you aren't alone at the top of the food chain. Respect those animals and give them as much distance as possible, because they are explosively fast when motivated.
We aren't at the top of the food chain...not really anyways, if you take away the guns, pretty much everything out there can kill us with ease, and they don't need weapons
I love Nat Geo Wild and they had a show where a grizzly ran down an elk, he was fast !
Robert Boren: SO true. When we hunt we often feel our hearts pounding in so many different types of emotions all at once! I used to be a very avid pheasant and ruffed grouse hunter The rush you feel when you hear those wings flapping away from you can cause the wrong person to accidentally hurt someone else if they are hunting in a group because you react before you actually think. It's that fluttering of those wings that made me the somewhat quick shot with a rifle or shotgun that I am today. I still try to hunt even though I can;t get around very well now due to a bad crash I was in 10 years ago that damaged my lower spine and hips, and legs, and nervous system but I am working towards doing a wild boar hunt from a blind this year...probably in Kentucky or Pennsylvania. I live in north east Ohio so it's not too long a drive to eastern PA but it's over 10 hours one way to southern Kentucky where my uncle lives. BUT... I'm looking forward to the hunt and to fill my freezer with pork for the year. :)
@@littleshepherdfarm2128 Hope you got to go hunting again,and bag a boar or two!
@@kingsoren2010 Yep...up to 40 miles per hour for a big dominant male in the 1500 pound range! Just imagine carrying all that weight and running that fast. The Siberian Kodiaks get the biggest on average and are something else to watch in the wild but Alaskan Kodiaks get almost as big and they have their range of dominance. The other bears will move out of his way when they smell him coming or they sense his presence. And when they fight its usually to the death or until one backs down and outrun the bigger one.
I take my handguns everywhere with me. Anyone that goes into the bear woods without at least one handgun has got a death wish in my not so humble opinion...
I think pistol hunting would be cool to do
I would probably go with a scoped 44 magnum
I agree but i doubt my 9mm would do much to a grizzly going at me full charge. Adrenaline dump is enough to make the aiming hard enough to where you cant get a shot at the right spot and you might just piss it off even more
@@Lazaro-138 well if you hit a few rounds at its face it will probably think twice or even in the legs so it cant move that easily
I live in bear country and you just have to know how to behave. I did have a close call with a mom with cubs(black bear) but being calm and non threatening and not flinching at a false charge. But I know a big grizzly I wouldn’t want to be around.
All of em?
Just watched your bear story with w. Va. I was mauled by a mother grizz four years ago. She had two cubs and had claimed my elk during the night. After thirty years of hunting in wyoming grizzly country i got complacent. Seen lots of grizz never had a problem. At fifty nine yrs age i didnt want extra weight to handle while hauling 150 lbs of meat over two miles back to camp. On my back. No gun, no spray. Separated from my hunting buddies, carrying only a deboning knife. I survived to carry my face in my pocket climbed into deadfall to await help. Lots of stupid comments from folks that dont know about bears. Door knob is right! To stop a charging grizzly is nearly impossible. Nice videos great stories. Keep em coming. I subscribed!
I could seriously listen to you all day! Thanks so much for the awsome stories!
It's about 5 a.m. I've been listening to your stories most of the night have to get up at 8 very tired but not tired of listening to your story just tired in general, so glad I found your Channel
The storys you tell. Gives me the chill's and makes my hair stand up just picturing it in my head .
I subscribed a while back for the Bigfoot stories but I TOTALLY dig the near-death-while-hunting-mortal-beasts-in-the-far-back-country stories
Tachypsychia is the medical term for the perception of time slowing down, in reality it is the result of a adrenaline dump which ampes up your neurons. Same thing happens in combat to my Marines. In my humble understanding, I'm just a FMF Corpsman, not a Neurologist. But what a great story.
One of my absolute biggest fears is encountering a bear in the woods. My boys and I love your stories!
I got hooked watching your hunting video... learning so much thanks . Sam
I have to say... there is a big difference between tourists visiting bear country.... And a bear guide, ago is very likely to encounter..., almost guaranteed to have to deal with a wounded bear. I agree... Stupid o not be carrying a 12g with hard slugs, lever gun, or big bore side arm as a bear HUNTING guide. Or any hunting guide in grizzly/brown country. But it's your life. There are reasons people generally think of tourists as morons.
yeah hikers are not armed and we hike those woods. In BC every square mile is Bear country, if you can't hang there without a weapon, go home to your safe little town or City.
@@chimo1961 why is this a reply to my statement? People do all kinds of things in bear country.. But walking in towards wounded bears is a very different thing than hiking with jingle bells on your boots.. People walk through downtown Detroit too, but you wouldn't raid a Detroit crack dealers house without an AR or 8 or 9 buckshot shells backing you up, the only problem is you KNOW the bear is willing to fight it out.
@@chimo1961 and there is no "hanging".. You are lucky, hopefully you never become unlucky and turn the wrong corner on the wrong day. That's all it is. You aren't going to talk your way out of a grizzly eating on your ass. You go unarmed, you are just hoping it never happens, because there ain't shit your gonna do about it. At least you have an equalizer if you are able to carry. Same principle as not wearing your seatbelt.. Many people domy wear one their whole lives, they are living on the luck, and hope, that some other thinking, conscious being doesn't decide to answer a text and cross the center line and kill them instantly. Or insurance, you hope you never need it. But you "carry" insurance just in case your house burns down. Probably won't burn down, but if it does, you have options. you'd be an idiot to not have homeowners insurance.. Probably will never meet a pissed off bear, but if you do, options. Life.
@Theone ! Exactly. No one needs it... Until they do.
With respect I disagree with your opinions. I'm 72 years of age and began hunting in the woods of CT at age 13. I lived in the bush of Alaska for three months and have traveled in the wilderness of 45 countries. I'm ex- military and a Vietnam vet. My experience tells me never be in grizzly bear country without a 50 caliber pistol at all times. Especially while hunting along with a high powered rifle with a scope. As you know all rifles can jam or malfunction. While trekking through heavy brush and if surprised by a predator, a long rifle barrel can get hung up in brush making it impossible to aim; whereas if you have a pistol as a backup you can protect yourself, the guide and friends! Also a preditor could knock the rifle out of your hands. It can be dropped and out of reach while resting or sleeping. Again, it's wise to have a backup pistol. I was disturbed to hear you say you're not a bodyguard to your paying clients. Humans with a soul and that are not mentally disordered protect each other because they care and I have a conscience. To take a client's money hunting and not carry weapons, in my opinion is being foolish and incompetent. And a target for broke, hungry thieves!
James Peck I agree with you 100% !!! .. I'm a veteran as well, during our first terrorist attack I always remembered, we must stick together we must protect one another and no one's left behind!!! .. That was our code. .. it seems like so long ago, .. thanks for the reminder!
Up here in Canada it's illegal to carry a handgun in the bush. Pretty lame hey?
Like he said several times it's not legal to carry a handgun in the Canadian bush. Usually if you have a hunter that has any experience and he is carrying a rifle that would easily kill a bear that would be enough unless a one in a million chance of bullshit happened. Maybe you would act differently but he also said that he usually had a rifle with him and only this time did not.
@@dannygroves6764 Hmmmmm.......... Maybe that's one reason there are so many mature
and aggressive grizzlies in that particular area ! ps - military family members. = Most
carry ( legally !) .......those 2 legged grizzlies in our area can be pretty dangerous too!
Yes Carol Martin that definitely could be why there are so many mature grizzlies in that area. And you are right Carol, the two legged suckers are the worst by far. I think maybe we could work something out to keep you nice and safe honey, and warm too.
My experience as a guide is very limited....one season.....I could not handle how entitled clients (most from NY and that area) were.....as a result....both clients and myself suffered, yet I also had a few that I will never forget, and I am confident that those had the experience that they were seeking.....#1 being a retired Security Guard from Oklahoma City, OK..w/ severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and impending total immobility....getting a 6'8" Black Bear.....what a rush....yet the most memorable is a GM plant worker who would not leave camp in the rain.....and vowed to sue the State for not having guard rails in a mtn. road.....and this was the same type mentality that got your friend chewed up. Knowledge is not much protection against stupidity I can attest. Thanks for your take.
Oohhh..great freaking story!! Dude..hearing you tell a real story is way better then hearing you read the e-mails. Thanks!
You can’t blame us for wanting for bear stories 😁
I already know I'd never survive out there, so I live vicariously by watching this.
I've been living in the bush in northern BC for 8 years, a few times chased by bears, but still alive.
You might be able to do better than you think. I still don't have a gun.
Right? I carry a weapon everywhere but im afraid if i saw a grizzly bear if shoot myself instead and get it over with lmao
