Not just Grizzly...Black bears or cougars as well. Last week we were hunting elk in the morning in an area where we usually over look a canyon that has elk in it. Hadn't seen elk at the time but seen a black bear. We had never seen a bear in our canyon all the years we hunted there. We watched him from 400 yards away for awhile till he disappeared into the pines to the left. 15 minutes later an elk came out in the open on a small ridge a hundred yards away from the direction the bear was headed. I debated knowing the bear was in the area but took the shot anyways. Elk down!...we waited a bit & headed over to the game. We made as much noise as possible, talking and yelling loudly to let the bear know we were headed around its way. We went to work on the elk, gutting & quartering it. Hiked off with half the load & left the other meat far from the gut pile... but had to come back for the second load. We did exactly the same thing talking, hiking loudly not being quite at all. Took the high ground, looked with binoculars to see if anything was by our kill. Nothing...thank God! We retrieved the rest of the meat making lots of noise on the way out to our trucks. So yes make as much noise as possible when retrieving game. That's my true story for the camp fire talks for years to come. Happy & safe hunting!
If I’m ever on a jury to decide whether a grizzly killing was justified, that person is walking away on hung jury no matter the evidence against them Unless the shot was over 400 yards away. You gotta draw the line somewhere
Shot a black bear (~250lb) coming at a full sprint this season. We were walking/cow calling along a river at last light. He got about 20ft behind my partner before I started shooting and luckily I had decided to not hunt with my bow that night. Stay prepared out there and have a way to call for help. This was northern British Columbia
My cousin bugled in a grizzly, that he didn't see till it was 10 feet away coming fast! First shot from the hip=miss, but due to the barrel being almost against the bears head, the concussion turned the bears head so she hit him with her shoulder. Second shot fired while flying through the air=miss(C.O. thinks he was airbourne because of where his brass landed and where the rest of the fight happened). Bear over shoots and spins around, third shot=hit(bear has broken spine and front legs only) bear still trying to catch hunter. Fourth shot=hit but bear still coming, hunter holding barrel against bear while backing up and trying to reload. Fifth shot=dead bear. Through all of this, the young hunter was yelling," "come quick dad, there's two". My brother and the young mans father got there as quick as possible, but the other bear stayed just out of sight and continued to growl and pop its teeth.
Randy, you don't carry a hand gun do you ? I know it's not always the best choice but it's always nice to have it at a last resort I always carry no matter what if I'm not legally able to carry I'm not going there !
Nope, I don't. I was never a good enough shot that I figured it would be effective. Then, this winter I had an arm injury to my right are that resulted in three severed tendons and lots of muscle damage. I'm sure I'm even less proficient now, given the impairment of use to my right hand.
I was hunting elk 2 weeks ago idaho unit 14 , next to Florence , just 5 or 6 miles south east of Florence , 400 yards from our spot there was a big grizzly bear ,, they are getting closer and closer in Idaho.
Good info, I wonder if the experts on grizzly bears has ever tried using one of those small air horns on scaring bear maybe incorporate with the spray.
A couple of weeks ago a man and a woman and their dog were killed up here in Alberta. When authorities got there 5.5 hours later, bear was still there. It was an old skinny sow with worn down teeth.
I was hunting on the east side of Yellowstone last fall.... I ran into a bear inside of 300 yard one morning.... after sh!tting my pants right full.... he was no longer interested.... please take that as a "Pro Tip"
You were shitting at 300 yds.? You should try running into a sow with cubs in the dark between your house and barn. Now there is cause for shitting! She was a good bear that ran away, because at 30 yds. or so, I was a dead man if she wanted me.
You understand, that every inch of the U.S,A. from the Mississippi to the west coast, and from Mexico to Canada was the grizzlies home, as well as all of Canada west from Ontario + Alaska and a great deal of Europe?
Grizz are near the park, but living in Idaho, there are Grizz over 100 miles from the park. Don’t give false information that Grizz bears are only near park. They are every where.
None of this is "false information." Yes, there are bears many miles from YNP. I didn't say they were only in the park. I've been living with them in my local area and hunting among them for thirty years. I spent three years on the Governor's Grizzly Bear Roundtable that helped craft the current GYE grizzly conservation strategy. I'm sufficiently knowledgeable about grizzlies and their ranges.
I noticed a grizzly high up that tree on this video page before I hit play, um, that a red flag for me because neither brown bear or grizzly bear clime trees , they will push down small trees but never climb them I'm 52 and hunted black, brown and grizzlies all my life and never ever ever have I ever seen a grizzly up a tree especially that high this video gives inaccurate and unsafe depiction of grizzly behavior and can get you hurt or dead
That picture is of a bear on the ground surrounded by trees. No one cares how many years you’ve been doing anything when you can’t make a simple observation before throwing shade at an upright guy reading a public safety email sent by a state agency.
@@snakeriverscotto as I stated regardless of what he's reading or not that public safety message was wrong period! And will get people killed it's missingormation , misleading and will put people in more danger not the messengers fault but if he actually hunts bear he should've pre read first before repeating missinformation or mislead viewers , you cannot outrun a bear nor will you make it to a tree to even clime before getting mauled or killed yes they can climb but very well so most typically the bear will catch you or you'll climb a tree with nowhere to go and he'll with wait until you come down or take a wide circle out of your view then ambush you either way your dead, you uneducated hunters that don't know what you're doing need to leave the hunting to us real hunters and stay out of the way and stop publishing or doing videos of dangerous misleading information that will otherwise get people killed. You probably are one of those idiots that hunt for thrills and provoke the game for a video and we don't need you in the frickin way , stay home
@andrewarcher5611 A brown bear is the North American umbrella term for a grizzly bear - same general species. A black bear can be brownish depending on it’s environment but it’s species is black bear.
Thank you for sharing Randy God's Blessings

Always good to know more or refresh your "Bear Sense." Thans for sharing.

Where is Florence, ID?

It’s always an adventure hunting in Grizzly country!
Was out towards Jardine opening morning. Nothing like being out in the pitch dark and seeing bear scat.
You’re like the uncle I never had
Good info, I wonder if the experts on grizzly bears has ever tried using one of those small air horns on scaring bear maybe incorporate with the spray.
My friend called in 3 black bears during archery season 2 years ago. The third one was a super pretty blonde bear and he decided to take it.
A couple of weeks ago a man and a woman and their dog were killed up here in Alberta. When authorities got there 5.5 hours later, bear was still there. It was an old skinny sow with worn down teeth.
Two hikers and their dog were killed by a grizzly a couple weeks ago in Banff, Canada. Bear spray was used apparently
Herd about that. Too bad.

Welcome to my playground.
Yeti! Bear-proof.

What false information? Randy said he was near YNP but nowhere did he say grizzlies were only near the park.
I suggest watching the video again…
Yea uh Kenneth I agree watch and listen this time my friend
It would be nice to move some to Colorado if they want preditors so bad....

The bear is on the ground, not in a tree.
