Here in northwest Wyoming the bears have recovered. Now they are spreading out and coming into conflict with people: raiding orchards around Cody, livestock in the Green River area, etc. They have been seen within a short hike of my pasture in the Snake River Range for the first time in over fifty years. Every plan for the Wyoming Game and Fish to manage their population results in a lawsuit. Currently the management plan has been ruined. There are, I think, FOUR lawsuits pending. This is what will happen in the Cascades if the bears are reintroduced. Your lives will be managed by rich city folks, the Sierra Club, and federal judges.
Raiding orchards? Do you not mean they came across some food that will enable them to survive another day? They dont set out to rob us they just want to survive. And can people not protect livestock in this day and age?
@Road2Training I have no suggestions it was a genuine question. At one time dogs were used to protect livestock, what about electric fences? I don't know I just feel in this day and age there should be some way of protecting livestock without killing or culling.
If bears are coming into contact with people and eating from orchards and killing livestock then not enough is being done to manage them and people are often a large contributor to bears coming closer and closer to humans by giving them some sort of incentive to approach populated areas. I have lived in Washington for 26 years and it’s wonderful seeing the bear population rise once again and it’s beautiful and just as they were here first and they are one of the most magnificent creatures to ever live and to see them die out without even attempting to save them because of some apples and livestock would just be sad and tragic. Now when it comes to potential loss of human life then that’s when I say let’s go back to the drawing board as I value human life over any animal. Obviously it needs to be done safely, and I don’t have the answers but we need to at least try.

This video sales pitch for releasing Grizzly Bears in Washington state claims that most people want the bear population restored, but the IDEA of living with bears is not the same as LIVING with bears. Most of Washington's population lives in the Puget Sound area and holds political sway over the rest of the state, including decisions about the reality of Grizzly Bear population restoration in the North Cascades. Unfortunately, people living close to the bears' range are comparatively few in number and wield little or no political power. However, their kids do have to catch school buses in the dark and their kids will have to be at risk of encountering a Grizzly while going about other normal activities, as will all others living in the region. That is the reality of ACTUALLY living with bears. It is too bad that a more fair way to decide where bears should be released is not possible. The process would be to poll each community and those that want bears get them. If, for example, a majority of Bellevue's citizens approved releasing Grizzlies then satisfy their IDEA of living with bears by releasing some in Bellevue for their pleasure and edification. Of course, that notion is ridiculous for obvious reasons, but is it less ridiculous for people living hundreds of miles away to approve inflicting a potentially lethal hazard on folks who basically have no say in the matter? Why is this necessary? Who really benefits and in what way? Or is all of this in support of the IDEA of wildness and nature to be enjoyed through the window of a safe, warm SUV?

This just proves that with right information, and selective questions you could prove anything. It is a fact that in statistical analysis you can prove anything you want. So becareful who talk to, only record the weak minded.
Michael steffen well that’s because that’s where the bears live. If you don’t like bears don’t live in a place where bears live. Kind of stupid to live there and go and kill all the bears
Micheal, sorry but people in the lower 48 just do not understand. When Grizzlys are not hunted they become more dangerous. Keep packing that gun, my friend Bob was mauled and almost killed by a Griz without provocation.
@@bwfreel That is not a guarantee...he might not have noticed what he did. Not many people know "all'' the things that will provoke a bear. Just saying "without provocation", does not make it correct. When I was in my late teens, I went salmon fishing with my uncle, and the last thing I thought of...was that bears could be at the river. After a few beer on friday night, I grabbed a 9-pk of KFC on the way home, for the next day, and nobody knew I had it, except a sow with 2-cubs. The month was May, and salmon were just starting to enter the rivers. Also the bears weren't long out of hibernation, so she was hungry. She came out to the beach, while I was fishing, and took my packsack with my cousin sitting next to it...and the funny thing was, he didn't see her. Uncle thought that if he attempted top stop her, she could have attacked. It was likely that I could have indirectly caused my cousins mauling/death. I didn't think I provoked her...but I 100% did exactly that. Bears don't attack for "no reason"...it was either surprised, had a kill nearby, or your friend was too close for the bears comfort
Timothy Treadwell pushed his luck did dumb things and had his Girlfriend with him she was on her monthly cycle. I feel bad for them but nature is what it is don't fight it try to learn more about it
Because at the time it seemed like there was so much wilderness we could never have an effect on it. Obviously, that was wrong and civilized society has been working on restoring natural lands for over a century. We would be a lot more advanced if mouth breathers who've never been outside before didn't continually slow down progress
Just so the world knows, we definitely don't have a shortage of grizzly bears in Montana. They are all over. I literally can't walk outside my home without a side arm or bear spray in the spring and fall. Far as I'm concerned those folks in Washington can take as many as they want. And send some to the idiots in California as well.
So take grizzly bears out of Glacier National Park and move them to Washington State where it rains 6days out of 7? There the bears can be miserable! Stop screwing around with the bears! Maybe we should move you to the Arctic circle since there aren’t many people there and there needs to be!
silverhorder1969 exactly! Well said. Let's just introduce more predators that deplete our game along with the wolves, without any regulation on them. Your exactly right, move to the arctic and we can introduce more bears, wolves, coyote and where you will rely on the beef you grow for survival. Let's see how it works. USFW is a flipping joke. Supposed to understand ecosystems yet they make choices like this.
jeger nihighsa and have you taken into account hunting? Some people like myself live of the game we take. So not only do game have to worry about hunting pressure from humams, they now have another predator to worry about. Ecosystems are not balanced when you add something else to them that has not been present for many years. It's humans interfering with nature. If they venture in on their own then that's how it works. Now us adding them because they "once were here" and not factoring in our human effect on prey and populations, stupidity! Why not introduce them into California? After all there were animals where all.those people once were. That part of your argument makes no sense. It's big populated cities that influence these decisions. They have no idea of what it's like to be in nature and see the results first hand. I'm not speaking all from opinion here, I spend more time than most in the mountains and have seen first hand the result on not controlling our bears, cougar, and introducing wolves. Many of the places I grew up hunting are not the same and it's not from hunting pressure. In "theory" their plans should work. A computer analysis and prediction is not the same as mother nature. It does not account for unexpect harsh winters, dry summers, fires, and so forth. We need to stop trying to shape our thoughts on how it once was because times have changed!
+ sav300 bears and wolves aren't responsible for the decline of other game. It's man's attempt to manage our wildlife when it was doing just fine without us. The problem is that man, in his selfish, greedy way, found a way to profit from killing wildlife and that's where we are today.
Grizzlies are all cool and amazing until one day, you run into one and surprise it and it slaps the life out of you. Quite interesting (not) how apartment dwellers think wild bears react to people as all cuddly and nice when they are designed to be top predators.
According to Rachel you are an idiot. But according to the 65 yr old woman who was dragged from her tent and killed last week in Montana you are telling the truth!!! I guess we now know who the REAL IDIOT is!!! Poor Rachel But hey I’m all for grizzlies. If we could get all these tree humping liberals to just go wonder off in bear country to find a nice cute grizzly to pet, the world would start turning around.
@@firemaker7016 the lady dragged from her tent 2 weeks ago was a Californian. Happened an hour drive away from me. Being that she was from California, it's probably safe to assume she was a mindless, leftist, green bellied nut job. I'm not sure how to feel about it because usually a grizzly bear eating the most hated tourist in Montana, aka Californian, it's a like a dream come true for most Montanans. But that would really suck I feel for her and her family.
@@clintmanning4004 I read the bear had come into their campsite earlier and they sprayed bear spray and it left. After that incident, they had to get their food out of the tents and properly secure it. Then it returned. #1 rule in bear country. DONT PUT FOOD IN YOUR SLEEPING QUARTERS.
@@firemaker7016 They were a group of out of state bicyclists biking through montana. They were literally camped right in the middle of a small town. They probably assumed they were safe from bears camping in town. But if they were from this part of Montana they would have known Ovando is a grizzly bear hot spot. But either way if a grizzly bear comes into camp at 3 am whether I'm camped in the wilderness or inside a small town, I'm staying up the rest of the night locked and loaded with a fire raging.
Newly released bear to other bears, " Man, You won't believe what happened to me. I was cruising in my hood and I found this fresh pile of food in this tunnel shaped garbage can. So I thought, free grits, why not? When I grabbed the food the garbage can tried to eat me. Then, and this is where it gets weird, aliens showed up and made my unconscious. Then, (in a whispered tone) I think they did experiments on me. Anyway, my hoopadoop was really sore when I came to. Then the garbage can took off and, I know you guys won't believe me but I was traveling at least 2-3 times faster in the garbage can than I have ever have before.. When it finally stopped, the garbage can spit me out, and I had this ugly, ugly thing around my neck. Man, I am really scared. I don't know where I am. None of this area looks familiar. And the aliens took off with the garbage can so i can't get back home. Truly happened. I swear. So any hot sows in the vicinity?"
Haha a nice way to put things, from the Bear's perspective! That experience must have scared the life out of them! Why can't we just leave'em alone, and stop trophy killing them? We're doing to them what we did with the indians, invaded their land and forced them out!
Glad they decided to not reintroduce then here in wa. I have come across many black bears that simply ran away from me. Not the same situation with grizzlys. Screw that.
@@scatdog1 So what’s your point ? Bears are not capable of abstract thinking so what difference does it make ? And yeah, since all of that is ( one way or another ) result of evolution who are you to argue otherwise ?
@@mr.p9882 I already did asshole !! I moved from the filthy city to the mountains where I live off grid we don’t have McDonald’s or Walmart and we don’t have many people … Ive lost two dogs and three cats who I loved dearly to mountain lions. This is the life I chose and my animals are free to roam but the lions were here first. So just rest your neck you don’t know me.
What you have witnessed is a one sided view of this love afair with bears, But in reality, what happens when one of these lovers is faced between them an death, I assure they will shoot first an ask questions later.
Your chances are better of getting struck by lightning and even if you do have an attack bear spray has a 98% success rate in stopping them so I wouldn’t be too worried. Be smart and cautious and you’ll be just fine.
Brick Builder Watts hmm 🤔 I know someone personally who was mauled, know of several others. Haven’t heard of anyone I know that’s been struck by lightning. I know personally, people who have sprayed Grizzlys (brown bears) they told me it didn’t seem to bother them much. They have their place but They do attack and kill people, as well as black bears. Documented cases in my state of Alaska
There has been a credible amount of info about aggressive black bear behaviour over the past several years or so proving that cuddly cute black bears don't fit the bill.
To quote a line from a famous movie "The real power is not to kill, but to let live". I'm a gun guy and would kill in self-defense, but can't see killing for the fun or of it.
sorry but these animals have been there long before modern people arrived, its their home....our home is ...?...people go everywhere, and then think their home is everywhere. But it is wrong. People intrude in other animals´ homes, homelands....so what a backyard ?? we are in their backyard
Bears used to live where you guys do, as well. Only place you can move to, and that not be the case, is maybe the moon. Let me know when you get there.
ua-cam.com/video/R1Sy9RatBs0/v-deo.html understand how grizzlies think they won't attack unless cubs r in danger. In cities and town they are scared shitless from sound and buildings and will run away from anything
Chief Jonah...are you sure? The last pow wow I attended determined all bears are UNPREDICTABLE, and the only safe bear is the one hanging on the wall and smiling down on you.
People you really just don’t understand. You protect a species without a danger factor towards humans and the bears loose fear of humans making them very dangerous. These bears will attack and eat a human. Many stories of attacks. I am against the reintroduction of them along with wolves. Both beautiful animals but to dangerous for close proximity to humans especially with kids.
I was logging North of Priest river in 1978 and saw a couple grizzly bears I had heard they were taken from Yellowstone for causing trouble and replaced them around priest lake .yikes they seemed to avoid man we had no guns or spray
You can love these animals and still totally understand that they are extremely dangerous. I love them, but I don't EVER want to encounter one in the wild. EVER. But I fully believe that we would lose something very big if they went extinct.
That's all fine and dandy, now let's take a look at how many elk families were cut short by the voracious appetite Irene would have during her time foraging for food in preparation of hibernation.... Okay?
These are not black bears were talking about, which will run away from you 99.9% of the time. I’m sure planting grizzly bears in places around people that they really shouldn’t be, is a great success for the BEARS, but if YOU’RE the one walking through the timber in Lincoln county etc. & you run into a sow grizzly with cups, depending on her mood & the distance you are from her, she can be totally unpredictable! more often than not, if she’s close enough, and you show any fear by turning your back & giving her the upper hand, she going to charge & depending how you respond to that encounter, will determine whether or not you come out of the woods alive that day, and the smaller her Cubs are or the earlier in the spring it is, the more dangerous & unpredictable can she’ll be. Also, if you run into a mature boar grizzly & you just happen to be too close & startle him, his natural instinct is to attack you, and if he does, depending on how close you were/how bad you startled him, will determine whether or not you live or die on that day. &&& don’t believe that bullshit that bear spray will always save you. In the situations I just explain, those bears will run right through bear spray & not even pay any attention to it! On certain days it might save you but it all depends on the circumstance. If you have a gun, it’s better to shoot in the air once or twice & stand your ground because it’s extremely hard to shoot & kill a charging grizzly bear before that bear reaches you, even if he’s charging from only 50 yards away, and if you wound that bear & can’t kill him, your problem just got a lot worse! Only time you want to shoot that grizzly is if he’s attacking you or is extremely close and going to. This is a very stupid idea to be planting grizzlies all over places where people normally like to camp, fish, and hike etc. because it’s just an accident waiting to happen.
They took a year to convince the population that was against releasing these bear into the area. That sounds like propaganda to me. I don't want any brown bears in my area or on my land. There were reasons for the drive against bear and wolves in the first place. In most cases with these animals it is science by emotion for those that want their reintroduction.
thx you so much for bringing back these beings back into our reality, we must protect our lands of forrest and water, here is something you do'nt know , if the forrest vanishes not only your oxygen would vanish but also your drinking water, 80% of all drinking water is made by trees.i life in a provincie that has only 2% left of forrest, rest is all concrete and cement, its awefull,may love be our guide not fear: love to all that is
Why would anybody want to contend with a dangerous animal being repatriated into their neighborhood? Humans and grizzly bears just don't mix very well. Both need their own space.
I completely agree with you, yes humans spread theri territories too much, and therefore animals have less and less space, so where they should go ? it is their home, while we have our homes in the cities
What an inspirational project and educational video well made. Let's hope the National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, and National Monuments will be protected from the onslaught and detrimental plans of the current U. S. government to open these last remaining natural habitats and pristine wildernesses to unnecessary dirty, destructive, reckless, all destroying industries, such as mining, fracking, leasings, privatizations, and land developments. Let's come and work together to save America's heritage, our country's wild spaces and untamed creatures, fauna, and flora in their most diversity and beauty for the better of man and all of our future.
It's not terribly different than what we went through with sharks. We have a responsibility as stewards of this earth to help revive populations of animals that we played a part in their destruction. As a hunter I believe every time we walk in the woods we should try and leave it better.
Who will take responsibility for the first hums causality. Not the tree huggers for sure they will blam the person. Just like years ago in Calimexico when a female joggering while out running was killed and eaten by a mountain lion. The tree huggers raised several thousand dollars to be used for the care of the cubs while barley 2000.00 was raised for the family to help with funeral services for the remains which, wasn’t much. People have their priorities backwards but PETA andvthe tree huggers hold animals on a higher pedastal than humans. The same people sanction and approve the slaughter of millions of innocent “ HUMANS. Let GOD be the judge for their part in the brutal slaughter
john somebody I’m not any tree hugger I hunt often. But grizzlies only attack if provoked and that’s a fact. They would rather be eating berries or eating a deer than having to deal with people.
And they don't collar and tag em now,they have round circles on their backs where samples r taken...and they dropped it off right here by an rv park...these r monsters who fear nothing
I like coastal brown bears in Alaska that have a good food supply of salmon each year. Inland bears scare me and they have decimated the elk population in the area they were released. That is my understanding of it anyway.
extirpation in Oregon, the Cascades, and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado should have never ever been allowed to happen, the reason for this is even with population growth and it being 2021 all those areas I cited are still great Grizzly habitat with little to no people and plenty of food, extirpation of the Grizzly bear in the lower 48 of the US is greatest crime of the last century
Ten bears maybe more . Those bears from Canada can walk on down and make some babies. I think this video is about control of the bears and the people who will control the resource money for a bear program. I know this North Cascade country and the bears can governor themselves. In time ,if the bears are left alone a bear poplation will come about.
They can't govern themselves lmao....really? why are there 10 left? Hmmm If I need to answer that, well you need to go pet a cub.
4 роки тому+2
come and get some of our Grizz's from Alberta Canada...we got plenty....more than ever before. They have expanded their range because there's a lot more of them now. They shut down hunting over 20 years ago and the growing bear population has now expanded into the farm and ranching areas.... and in some places, near small town Alberta. If you go out now in these areas you must be aware of the fact that you may encounter a bear and be cautious. They call it Bear Smart up here.
Typical of someone who only spent a couple of years in the U.S. Doesn't know much about these bears and wants to pontificate. It's a free country. I agree with you. "fluff piece".
"... I do not want to make my children scared of them..." Lady, you BETTER make them scared of them. Nothing cuddly or fun about them. Have respect and natural fear.

This just proves that with right information, and selective questions you could prove anything. It is a fact that in statistical analysis you can prove anything you want. So becareful who talk to, only record the weak minded.
Bullshit I need a 🐻 rug
Kill all bears.
Shit that will make a nice rug.
I don't know how I ended up here buy boy I'm so glad I did. Such a great episode and I hope the Grizzlies continue to thrive there.
In Alaska we carry high powered rifles and big handguns-people still get mauled and eaten.
Michael steffen well that’s because that’s where the bears live. If you don’t like bears don’t live in a place where bears live. Kind of stupid to live there and go and kill all the bears
Micheal, sorry but people in the lower 48 just do not understand. When Grizzlys are not hunted they become more dangerous. Keep packing that gun, my friend Bob was mauled and almost killed by a Griz without provocation.
@@bwfreel That is not a guarantee...he might not have noticed what he did.
Not many people know "all'' the things that will provoke a bear.
Just saying "without provocation", does not make it correct.
When I was in my late teens, I went salmon fishing with my uncle, and the last thing I thought of...was that bears could be at the river.
After a few beer on friday night, I grabbed a 9-pk of KFC on the way home, for the next day, and nobody knew I had it, except a sow with 2-cubs.
The month was May, and salmon were just starting to enter the rivers.
Also the bears weren't long out of hibernation, so she was hungry.
She came out to the beach, while I was fishing, and took my packsack with my cousin sitting next to it...and the funny thing was, he didn't see her.
Uncle thought that if he attempted top stop her, she could have attacked.
It was likely that I could have indirectly caused my cousins mauling/death.
I didn't think I provoked her...but I 100% did exactly that.
Bears don't attack for "no reason"...it was either surprised, had a kill nearby, or your friend was too close for the bears comfort
@@sharonbendtsen3421 right, it's much better to live in a city like Detroit where your not allowed to shoot at a group of thugs attacking you
Leave bear country then. It’s their home to begin with. Man decided he wanted to live there.
I think all the bear lovers here should prove their love like Timothy Treadwell did--by becoming a meal for a Grizzly! Who'll be the first volunteer?
👍👍👍
Timothy Treadwell pushed his luck did dumb things and had his
Girlfriend with him she was on her monthly cycle. I feel bad for them but nature is what it is don't fight it try to learn more about it
Fleeting glimpses is enough for me.
So wonderful to see a return of grizzlies.
there was a reason why early settlers killed grizzlies
And any predators.. eagles... wolves.. etc. Yeah, good reasons.. lol. sigh.
Because at the time it seemed like there was so much wilderness we could never have an effect on it. Obviously, that was wrong and civilized society has been working on restoring natural lands for over a century. We would be a lot more advanced if mouth breathers who've never been outside before didn't continually slow down progress
And stole indigenous lands and killed anything that moved and cut down all the trees. I think it's called arrogance and greed.
Just so the world knows, we definitely don't have a shortage of grizzly bears in Montana. They are all over. I literally can't walk outside my home without a side arm or bear spray in the spring and fall. Far as I'm concerned those folks in Washington can take as many as they want. And send some to the idiots in California as well.
Remember this when you venture outside it’s the Bears backyard not yours .They need a lot of space to move around.
So take grizzly bears out of Glacier National Park and move them to Washington State where it rains 6days out of 7? There the bears can be miserable! Stop screwing around with the bears! Maybe we should move you to the Arctic circle since there aren’t many people there and there needs to be!
silverhorder1969 exactly! Well said. Let's just introduce more predators that deplete our game along with the wolves, without any regulation on them. Your exactly right, move to the arctic and we can introduce more bears, wolves, coyote and where you will rely on the beef you grow for survival. Let's see how it works. USFW is a flipping joke. Supposed to understand ecosystems yet they make choices like this.
jeger nihighsa and have you taken into account hunting? Some people like myself live of the game we take. So not only do game have to worry about hunting pressure from humams, they now have another predator to worry about. Ecosystems are not balanced when you add something else to them that has not been present for many years. It's humans interfering with nature. If they venture in on their own then that's how it works. Now us adding them because they "once were here" and not factoring in our human effect on prey and populations, stupidity!
Why not introduce them into California? After all there were animals where all.those people once were. That part of your argument makes no sense. It's big populated cities that influence these decisions. They have no idea of what it's like to be in nature and see the results first hand.
I'm not speaking all from opinion here, I spend more time than most in the mountains and have seen first hand the result on not controlling our bears, cougar, and introducing wolves. Many of the places I grew up hunting are not the same and it's not from hunting pressure. In "theory" their plans should work. A computer analysis and prediction is not the same as mother nature. It does not account for unexpect harsh winters, dry summers, fires, and so forth. We need to stop trying to shape our thoughts on how it once was because times have changed!
jeger nihighsa I agree. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
+ sav300
bears and wolves aren't responsible for the decline of other game. It's man's attempt to manage our wildlife when it was doing just fine without us. The problem is that man, in his selfish, greedy way, found a way to profit from killing wildlife and that's where we are today.
@1969. You are so correct.
Irene was later found out to be my grandmother also
That's truley funny.
Grizzlies are all cool and amazing until one day, you run into one and surprise it and it slaps the life out of you. Quite interesting (not) how apartment dwellers think wild bears react to people as all cuddly and nice when they are designed to be top predators.
@Rachel Anderson 🎶Ha haha ha hahaha ha haha ha ha haaa🎶
According to Rachel you are an idiot. But according to the 65 yr old woman who was dragged from her tent and killed last week in Montana you are telling the truth!!!
I guess we now know who the REAL IDIOT is!!! Poor Rachel
But hey I’m all for grizzlies. If we could get all these tree humping liberals to just go wonder off in bear country to find a nice cute grizzly to pet, the world would start turning around.
@@firemaker7016 the lady dragged from her tent 2 weeks ago was a Californian. Happened an hour drive away from me. Being that she was from California, it's probably safe to assume she was a mindless, leftist, green bellied nut job. I'm not sure how to feel about it because usually a grizzly bear eating the most hated tourist in Montana, aka Californian, it's a like a dream come true for most Montanans. But that would really suck I feel for her and her family.
@@clintmanning4004 I read the bear had come into their campsite earlier and they sprayed bear spray and it left. After that incident, they had to get their food out of the tents and properly secure it. Then it returned. #1 rule in bear country. DONT PUT FOOD IN YOUR SLEEPING QUARTERS.
@@firemaker7016 They were a group of out of state bicyclists biking through montana. They were literally camped right in the middle of a small town. They probably assumed they were safe from bears camping in town. But if they were from this part of Montana they would have known Ovando is a grizzly bear hot spot. But either way if a grizzly bear comes into camp at 3 am whether I'm camped in the wilderness or inside a small town, I'm staying up the rest of the night locked and loaded with a fire raging.
The bear catchers talking about caring for the bears at approximately 5:37. Does that mean they are CARE BEARS? 😆
Newly released bear to other bears, " Man, You won't believe what happened to me. I was cruising in my hood and I found this fresh pile of food in this tunnel shaped garbage can. So I thought, free grits, why not? When I grabbed the food the garbage can tried to eat me. Then, and this is where it gets weird, aliens showed up and made my unconscious. Then, (in a whispered tone) I think they did experiments on me. Anyway, my hoopadoop was really sore when I came to. Then the garbage can took off and, I know you guys won't believe me but I was traveling at least 2-3 times faster in the garbage can than I have ever have before.. When it finally stopped, the garbage can spit me out, and I had this ugly, ugly thing around my neck. Man, I am really scared. I don't know where I am. None of this area looks familiar. And the aliens took off with the garbage can so i can't get back home. Truly happened. I swear. So any hot sows in the vicinity?"
Look up anthropomorphism.
Haha a nice way to put things, from the Bear's perspective! That experience must have scared the life out of them! Why can't we just leave'em alone, and stop trophy killing them? We're doing to them what we did with the indians, invaded their land and forced them out!
I had the same senrio run through my mind when I was watching this!!! 😂😂😂😂 great minds think alike!!!✌🌠😂
@@sergiodario58able At least, a reasonable argument.
Totally agree with you! 👍
Some of bears say"Nonesense, there is no Alien abduction and that thing around your neck is accident in garbage can.."
Glad they decided to not reintroduce then here in wa. I have come across many black bears that simply ran away from me. Not the same situation with grizzlys. Screw that.
I bet the bears wouldn’t mind seeing you people ostracized from your home. After all they were there thousands of years before us.
@@scatdog1 So what’s your point ? Bears are not capable of abstract thinking so what difference does it make ? And yeah, since all of that is ( one way or another ) result of evolution who are you to argue otherwise ?
@@scatdog1 Your point? Wanna make folks leave and give it back to the bears? You start the move cycle...

The last song is called "Saturn" by Sleeping at Last.

cry about it. the beast is coming back
TIME FOR THE GRIZZLY
Your chances are better of getting struck by lightning and even if you do have an attack bear spray has a 98% success rate in stopping them so I wouldn’t be too worried. Be smart and cautious and you’ll be just fine.
Brick Builder Watts hmm 🤔 I know someone personally who was mauled, know of several others. Haven’t heard of anyone I know that’s been struck by lightning. I know personally, people who have sprayed Grizzlys (brown bears) they told me it didn’t seem to bother them much. They have their place but They do attack and kill people, as well as black bears. Documented cases in my state of Alaska
bwfreel You’re talking to someone whose been struck by lightning, and I know that bear spray doesn’t always work, I said it usually does.
Don’t think I’ll plan a camping trip in the Cabinet Mountains.
a very good idea ! lesser people in forests, happier are the wildlife :-))
@@bohdaj Those bears are being relocated to support the hunting tourism industry, not for any other reason.
You don’t want them back you can’t even walk out of your house. That’s how bad they are in Montana.
There has been a credible amount of info about aggressive black bear behaviour over the past several years or so proving that cuddly cute black bears don't fit the bill.
Majestic creatures, yes, but they have to also remember that grizzly bears are extremely dangerous.
I fish and hunt and all but if they want the bears numbers up then why permit hunting in that area?
To quote a line from a famous movie "The real power is not to kill, but to let live". I'm a gun guy and would kill in self-defense, but can't see killing for the fun or of it.
That's great that Irene's bloodline is living on. Long Live The Grizzlies.
Bring them back... Right. Put them in YOUR backyard!
You're Invaders of the bears areas. Move out!
sorry but these animals have been there long before modern people arrived, its their home....our home is ...?...people go everywhere, and then think their home is everywhere. But it is wrong. People intrude in other animals´ homes, homelands....so what a backyard ?? we are in their backyard
I will introduce them to my 454 Casull.
Bears used to live where you guys do, as well. Only place you can move to, and that not be the case, is maybe the moon. Let me know when you get there.
@@selador11 Or a city so we can live in a home that doesn't require 1000 acres of pristine land to be destroyed for a single house
How many hundreds of deer moose and elk did they kill
The Bears in Chicago have bounced back, too.

MaxPro, I thought for awhile they would be extinct.

Headline 2020: First Grizzly Bear Mauling of Newly Introduced Bear in Populous US City
NOT if we manage this properly. We have destroyed their habitat horribly. It's time to at least do our best to try and make it right.
ua-cam.com/video/R1Sy9RatBs0/v-deo.html understand how grizzlies think they won't attack unless cubs r in danger. In cities and town they are scared shitless from sound and buildings and will run away from anything
Chief Jonah...are you sure? The last pow wow I attended determined all bears are UNPREDICTABLE, and the only safe bear is the one hanging on the wall and smiling down on you.
@@warrenweisfus709 I'm sure 🤡
Put a kid in a candy store--something get eaten
People you really just don’t understand. You protect a species without a danger factor towards humans and the bears loose fear of humans making them very dangerous. These bears will attack and eat a human. Many stories of attacks. I am against the reintroduction of them along with wolves. Both beautiful animals but to dangerous for close proximity to humans especially with kids.
so where they can live ?....humans everywhere spreading like metastasis... perhaps humans should move away from some areas
Agenda 21- Depopulation. They're just using the bears to help.
I was logging North of Priest river in 1978 and saw a couple grizzly bears I had heard they were taken from Yellowstone for causing trouble and replaced them around priest lake .yikes they seemed to avoid man we had no guns or spray
You can love these animals and still totally understand that they are extremely dangerous. I love them, but I don't EVER want to encounter one in the wild. EVER.
But I fully believe that we would lose something very big if they went extinct.
That's all fine and dandy, now let's take a look at how many elk families were cut short by the voracious appetite Irene would have during her time foraging for food in preparation of hibernation.... Okay?
Well made video, but I disagree with its premise that it's great to have bears roaming around in human's living space.
It's the opposite. The humans most be forced to go away from the bears land.
It's great if you want to drive the working class out of the rural areas. Agenda 21 at work as has been mentioned.
@@BobbyL5757 right on. You know. I follow these threads wondering if people understand what this is.
@@saltpeter7429 Most don't so I keep mentioning it.
The bears are not in human space ..we as hikers, bikers tourists in general are in areas of wildlife..it is not our home it is theirs
These are not black bears were talking about, which will run away from you 99.9% of the time. I’m sure planting grizzly bears in places around people that they really shouldn’t be, is a great success for the BEARS, but if YOU’RE the one walking through the timber in Lincoln county etc. & you run into a sow grizzly with cups, depending on her mood & the distance you are from her, she can be totally unpredictable! more often than not, if she’s close enough, and you show any fear by turning your back & giving her the upper hand, she going to charge & depending how you respond to that encounter, will determine whether or not you come out of the woods alive that day, and the smaller her Cubs are or the earlier in the spring it is, the more dangerous & unpredictable can she’ll be. Also, if you run into a mature boar grizzly & you just happen to be too close & startle him, his natural instinct is to attack you, and if he does, depending on how close you were/how bad you startled him, will determine whether or not you live or die on that day. &&& don’t believe that bullshit that bear spray will always save you. In the situations I just explain, those bears will run right through bear spray & not even pay any attention to it! On certain days it might save you but it all depends on the circumstance. If you have a gun, it’s better to shoot in the air once or twice & stand your ground because it’s extremely hard to shoot & kill a charging grizzly bear before that bear reaches you, even if he’s charging from only 50 yards away, and if you wound that bear & can’t kill him, your problem just got a lot worse! Only time you want to shoot that grizzly is if he’s attacking you or is extremely close and going to. This is a very stupid idea to be planting grizzlies all over places where people normally like to camp, fish, and hike etc. because it’s just an accident waiting to happen.
Bears are everywhere in BC I see them all the time and can appreciate them. Leave them alone and live with them.. I hope they are restored over there.
They took a year to convince the population that was against releasing these bear into the area. That sounds like propaganda to me. I don't want any brown bears in my area or on my land. There were reasons for the drive against bear and wolves in the first place. In most cases with these animals it is science by emotion for those that want their reintroduction.
The same people reintroduced rattle snakes here to break up Turkey nest instead of allowing more hunting
Interesting, but a bit sentimental ,also a tad anthropomorphic .
A tad? Lol.
2024 web says roughly 60,000 Alaska and Canada. With 1,923 in the states. That’s a huge jump from 10.
The other half of nature are the beautiful animals that call it home.
Imagine how uncomfortable the radio collar is for the bear.
It looks bulky & irritating. Just my op. I wonder, if they get caught on junk. That could be dangerous in itself?
Wonderful Work!! I love these men who take up the cause of a single species. True heroes.
That's great. Love hearing about this. Please make more videos of Grizzlies...Thanks
thx you so much for bringing back these beings back into our reality, we must protect our lands of forrest and water, here is something you do'nt know , if the forrest vanishes not only your oxygen would vanish but also your drinking water, 80% of all drinking water is made by trees.i life in a provincie that has only 2% left of forrest, rest is all concrete and cement, its awefull,may love be our guide not fear: love to all that is
Great story. Good luck with the project
I had a grizzly attack me but I pulled it’s eye out and it ran away. I still have its eye on my freezer
Why would anybody want to contend with a dangerous animal being repatriated into their neighborhood? Humans and grizzly bears just don't mix very well. Both need their own space.
yes, so this is what is happening... humans are plenty almost everywhere
I completely agree with you, yes humans spread theri territories too much, and therefore animals have less and less space, so where they should go ? it is their home, while we have our homes in the cities
Really ma'am? I've been charged multiple times. And it has cost my friend thousands of dollars in cattle so pedal your bull crap elsewhere
grow a pair of balls and deal
More cattle can die from disease in a single herd than bears have killed across the country....
What an inspirational project and educational video well made. Let's hope the National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, and National Monuments will be protected from the onslaught and detrimental plans of the current U. S. government to open these last remaining natural habitats and pristine wildernesses to unnecessary dirty, destructive, reckless, all destroying industries, such as mining, fracking, leasings, privatizations, and land developments. Let's come and work together to save America's heritage, our country's wild spaces and untamed creatures, fauna, and flora in their most diversity and beauty for the better of man and all of our future.
brainwashing 101 !
It's not terribly different than what we went through with sharks. We have a responsibility as stewards of this earth to help revive populations of animals that we played a part in their destruction. As a hunter I believe every time we walk in the woods we should try and leave it better.
Love this. Thank you.
noticed you never interview natives the ones with the most knowledge , and the ones who never trophy hunt
Natves no longer exists. This people kill them all! And they keep them set aside on "reservations"
Everyone who wants those creatures back should see how they can rip a person to pieces without mercy. They might reconsider...
Grizzly bears lifes matter
Thank you for sharing this video, queens ny
Who will take responsibility for the first hums causality. Not the tree huggers for sure they will blam the person.
Just like years ago in Calimexico when a female joggering while out running was killed and eaten by a mountain lion. The tree huggers raised several thousand dollars to be used for the care of the cubs while barley 2000.00 was raised for the family to help with funeral services for the remains which, wasn’t much.
People have their priorities backwards but PETA andvthe tree huggers hold animals on a higher pedastal than humans. The same people sanction and approve the slaughter of millions of innocent “ HUMANS.
Let GOD be the judge for their part in the brutal slaughter
john somebody
I’m not any tree hugger I hunt often. But grizzlies only attack if provoked and that’s a fact. They would rather be eating berries or eating a deer than having to deal with people.
Take them from a healthy environment to an area where they do not usually survive. Sounds like they are trying to rid the world of them.
Majestic? Yes. Good for cohabitating near humans? Not so much.
And they don't collar and tag em now,they have round circles on their backs where samples r taken...and they dropped it off right here by an rv park...these r monsters who fear nothing
you don't like it you can leave
There are only one species of monsters in this world and they are called humans
They will regret it
I’m all for them. However, they must be regulated and once recovered, allowed to be hunted!
that is an example of how fast they multiply which makes their whole narrative B.S.
Humans multiply fast too. what do you suggest?
@@jorgebernier5d i suggest that humans take priority over bears
LOVE THE PICTURE OF THE HUNTER AT THE END OF THE VIDEO!
Think that was a real photo? Staged and photoshopped to the hilt.
How did a hunter get into a wilderness preserve and kill precious Irene?
U ever hear of a fricken poacher?!?
I like coastal brown bears in Alaska that have a good food supply of salmon each year. Inland bears scare me and they have decimated the elk population in the area they were released. That is my understanding of it anyway.
extirpation in Oregon, the Cascades, and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado should have never ever been allowed to happen, the reason for this is even with population growth and it being 2021 all those areas I cited are still great Grizzly habitat with little to no people and plenty of food, extirpation of the Grizzly bear in the lower 48 of the US is greatest crime of the last century
Yea and think many people would be killed on most horrible way there was a reason they were shot out
@@chesterswortham5197 we need grizzly bears back in Colorado. They do a good job eating unarmed liberals.
much love for this vid ... such a beautifully done film
Ten bears maybe more . Those bears from Canada can walk on down and make some babies. I think this video is about control of the bears and the people who will control the resource money for a bear program. I know this North Cascade country and the bears can governor themselves. In time ,if the bears are left alone a bear poplation will come about.
They can't govern themselves lmao....really? why are there 10 left? Hmmm If I need to answer that, well you need to go pet a cub.
come and get some of our Grizz's from Alberta Canada...we got plenty....more than ever before. They have expanded their range because there's a lot more of them now. They shut down hunting over 20 years ago and the growing bear population has now expanded into the farm and ranching areas.... and in some places, near small town Alberta. If you go out now in these areas you must be aware of the fact that you may encounter a bear and be cautious. They call it Bear Smart up here.
Not if the poachers have their say
Beautiful awesomeness!! ❤️ made me cry. I hope they succeed!
It's not liberal to want wilderness wild.
It's become that though it seems, unfortunately. Protecting nature is some sort of hippie leftist agenda according to many conservatives. Awful
Fantastic how the bears stole the bait without being trapped!
This is quite a fluff piece, I bet the narrator lives in Manhattan, or some place such as that.
Typical of someone who only spent a couple of years in the U.S. Doesn't know much about these bears and wants to pontificate. It's a free country. I agree with you. "fluff piece".
