    Rick walked over to the front door and called Snickers, hoping his voice and sudden appearance might frighten the bears away. As soon as they heard his voice and saw him in the doorway, both bears dashed toward Rick in unison.
    Even though he was experienced with grizzlies, Rick was terrified. He opened the front door and slammed it shut when the bears were within 5 feet of entering the house. The grizzlies paused and examined the doorway, possibly unsure of where Rick had disappeared.
    On Rick’s property was a guest cabin, and his teenage daughter, whom we will call Jennifer, was inside. Her dog, Pippen, was cowering outside the door to the cabin, hoping to be let in before the grizzlies noticed him. Rick watched the grizzlies through windows and worked his way to an open one. He shouted to Jennifer to let Pippen into the cabin.
    Jennifer opened the door while the bears were only 15 yards or so away. As soon as they saw the door open they dashed in unison toward her in the same manner they had pursued Rick. Jennifer slammed the door after letting Pippen inside, and the bears were only three feet from the door.
    Now, Rick had made a decision previously that he was seriously regretting. He had several hunting rifles but had them stored in his father’s gun safe and out of reach of his children. Grandpa’s house was only a five-minute drive away but it might as well have been a million miles away. The only weapon he could find was a large kitchen knife, which granted him a modicum of confidence. Rick picked up the phone and dialed his father’s number hoping he would pick up quickly.
    Rick’s father did pick up, and couldn’t believe the details he was listening to. I am sure he thought it may have been some kind of prank, but as soon as he was reassured it wasn’t, he grabbed his rifle and headed right over.
    Now Rick’s father was a real bear hugger, if you will. He was probably the last person in town to want to hurt or kill a bear. As he drove over his mind raced with the dire straits his family was now facing.
    As he waited he thought of Claudia Huber and Matthias Liniger. Only three years prior they had been besieged by a grizzly bear that chased them through their home and eventually attacked Claudia. The account of their details is on this channel and I have linked to it in the video article below for your review.
    Rick watched the grizzlies tearing into the garbage bag just outside the door when he heard the horn of his father’s truck honking. For those of you impressed with the idea that loud noises could be used as a deterrent for bears, pay attention to the following events. He watched in dismay as the bears simply turned their heads and looked in Grandpa’s direction. They didn’t bolt as he had hoped and walked towards the honking truck.
    Grandpa was still reluctant to kill the grizzlies. He poked his rifle from the window of his truck and fired a shot into the wood pile a few yards away from the bears. He hoped the loud noise would drive the bears off, but the grizzlies picked up their pace while they headed toward him.
    Now knowing that these bears were not afraid of anything they should be, he drew down on the closest bear and fired. His bullet struck the bear in the chest and after only a few seconds, that bear died.
    The second grizzly looked at Grandpa for a second, then glanced back at the dead grizzly. It laid down next to its partner and sniffed the dead bear between nervous mouthfuls of dandelions. After a minute or so, the uninjured bear slowly wandered off into the nearby forest.
    Relief filled the family as they emerged from the house and the cabin. Grandpa didn’t want to shoot either of the grizzlies, let alone both of them, and expressed relief at the departure of the second bear.
    After the departure of the officials, Rick departed for his father’s house, to retrieve his rifles. Within twenty minutes he had returned and began checking his firearms over to make sure they were operable and ready, just in case.
    As he looked over his rifles, Rick’s children began screaming that the bear was back. He shuffled through the house and peered out of a window to locate the bear. He could see it only a few feet from the house so he packed his rifle out the front door.
    As Rick rounded the corner, the grizzly turned and looked straight at him. It began to walk toward him with no hesitation and demonstrated an aggressive presence. This time Rick was not terrified. He was putting an end to this torment for once and for all. He aimed at the grizzly's chest and fired. The bear retreated a few yards, staggered a little then tipped over dead.

      Ok, BUT there have been MANY bears shot many times that still attacked and killed the person who shot it, also due to the massive amounts of adrenalin released when certain animals are wounded, they can run faster than when not wounded! In those cases, even an umbrella MAY have served as a far better deterrent via the rapid opening and shutting of the umbrella.

      I am saddened by the shrinking natural habitat for all creatures, especially large and predatory mammals who need space and ideally no people or as few as possible. I’m also very sympathetic toward mankind’s drive to explore, to enjoy natural environments, and the need to harvest the earth’s resources within reason.
      Both animals and humans have a right to be here. People are tasked with the difficult decisions for finding the right balances which differ and change across places and times. It’s not a simple thing and we won’t always get it right. Some people are selfish or greedy, but there are many, many more people who love animals and want to do right by them.
      I might’ve gotten a little carried away there, oh well!

    Bears' actions appear to me to be the result of being habituated to being given food by people, and did not appear predatory. The old saying, 'a fed bear is a dead bear' is a reality. Too bad that many people are too stupid to understand this simple fact.

    I grew up in the bush in the 1950's, we always had a really big dog or two that would run off the bear coming for the garbage, yep we had our own little dump across the yard, I never did actually see the bear, and Dad never even tried to shoot it, Rover never got hurt and he would harass the bear every time it came near until it left, usually quite quickly, everyone had guns and big usually free range dogs, and in twenty one years, the only bear encounter I had was when I was out without the dog. The trick I think is having a dog that will respect the bears potential for damage, won't run to hide behind you and will lead or drive the bear away from you, my boys loved playing tag with bears, never got hurt, never hurt the bears but kept them really uncomfortable around our home, it also helped that the only interactions with people was being hunted, which kept them fairly respectful of humans. I absolutely don't understand the mindset of idiots that feed the bears and habituate them to not respect humans, it does the animal no favours and likely causes it to be euthanized for public safety.

      No i doubt it. Bears you have to know will eat just about anything. A large part of their diet are things like berrys, bugs, roots. Of course they will go after a moose or any big animal as first choice.. Dogs are really too fast for bears to catch unless they can come right up on one.I seen bears and wolf packs tangle many times. The most funny thing I ever saw was a brown with a fresh moose kill. The Alaska "badass "as we call them (Wolverine-a 40 lb dog size critter) come running right up to it. The wolverine proceeded to run circles around this brown repeatedly taking bites out of its ass. Wolverines are too fast for the bear to get hold of. By like the 15th bite i think bear said to itself "The hell with it" He rips off a piece of the moose and runs off with it, leaving a large portion to the theif. I later saw it licking is ass.

    Some folks attitudes about firearms just baffle the he!! out of me. If you have a swimming pool, you don’t lock it in a family member’s safe. You teach your kids how to swim. Same with firearms, you teach your children how to be safe around them and how to use them confidently. I certainly hope that father learned a lesson.

      I lived much of my life within walking distance of the ocean, and many people had built-in swimming pools at their homes. When my friend started having babies, she would take them to a swimming pool where there were trained staff that would teach these little babies under a year old how to keep their heads above water and tread water.
      It was really remarkable, and lifesaving!

I’m an avid animal lover and know that even domestic pets that we love can and have attracted their owners.

      I grew up and live in Alaska. Well there are many things you do. First the way you build your house is very important. You have nail spike strips around it so if a bear steps on it , it runs away fast. Second you have iron bars across your windows and have a 2 door entry setup into the house. I found 1/4 sticks of dynamite useful to keep lying around.
      The you always have a 12 gag shotgun loaded with rifled slugs having burning magnesium tips.lying around. i have several. one in house. One in the barn and one in the plane.
      You never take a step out of your house during bear season without the shotgun. I've had to shoot 8 browns charging me over the years. Then we have 6 caucasian sheperds the world largest dog breed 200 lb. they will detect and go after any bear, wolf, other animals. They can't of course stop a bear but will delay it and alert you.
      Those plus common sense works well..

      Well because traditionally browns and blacks are afraid of humans. In Alaska if bears hear you coming they will avoid you UNLESS their hungry. I've had to shoot 8 charging browns over the years. I always take my 6 caucasian shepherds with me (Largest dog breed in the world 200 lb) They will slow the bear but of course cant stop it. Bears dont not like to be harassed by dogs. Ive seen many bears and wolf packs tangle. Dog can be little too fast for the bear to catch. They retreat from the harassment factor after a while not fear.

The bear destroyed everything in the car. Good thing she got pictures. I hope insurance companies cover bear damage.

    I live in the mountains of central Washington state, we have bears, bobcats, coyotes, moose etc. I have a shotgun by my back door at all times. I was picking tomatoes in my garden one day and sensed something behind me, I turned and had a coyote creeping up on me. I stood tall and raised my hands and yelled, then my dog started barking in the house and it ran off. The scary thing is they come in packs so I know there was at least 3 or 4 more in the vine maples behind me. Number one rule to avoid bears is you never, never leave garbage out, even for a minute. Most people here have garbage sheds with bungee cords all around them.

    While fishing in Alaska we talked to a fisherman that knew the gold prospector that had built a small cabin on stilts right in the middle of a river!! Come to find out he'd been wary of 2 young grizzlies that had harassed him so hence the dwelling on stilts.. (stilts are not bear proof) The bears were around 3, possible brothers..
    Unfortunately at that age bears are curious & can really be a serious threat..
    My 3 brother's had lived in Alaska for years so I thought we'll be ok. The next 2 days were scary even though we saw no sign of them.. The worst scare we had gotten on that trip was a pesky moose rubbing his antlers at night all along the side of our cabin.

    Living in that wilderness BC I cannot comprehend not having hardware & ammo close by for these kind of encounters for protection only. 74+🍁 Manitoba hunter provider.

    With the danger that 2 poses, you can't have them come so close to your house, where you also have your family, it will go wrong at some point, when they 2 have now learned that there is food (people) to find where they had to be removed/shot.

    I ate grizzly bear years back....not bad... Hey, watch the movie The Good Bad and Ugly...Tuco, was in a bathtub during a bit of a Civil War...and a one armed guy walks in...yapping at Tuco.... Tuco puts 6 bullets into that guy...and I think Tuco said...."If you need to shoot SHOOT...don't talk" SAME goes for bear.... the best defense is a good offense...and a good firearm with a good punch

      I LOVE that movie! Tuco was a classic character. If I remember correctly, he had his pistol in the water with him and pulled it to shoot? I may be misremembering. Classic movie though!
