a grizzly with an elk in its mouth?? Joe is all in, fully invested. hes probably calculating who would win in battle: a grizzly with an elk in its mouth, or a silverback gorilla on DMT
If a bear tried to attack me , I’d call it a racist and the bear would have back down and tell me it has black human friends and that it couldn’t be a racist
I would probably die because I'm a white male and noone gives a shit about us anymore. Me telling the bear that I'm white and a male would anger her even more.
Yeah that's horrible to think that when they really want to attack you there's no way to survive without a weapon so you can only pray they kill u before they eat u but then u realize they can't wait for that long.
If you are attacked by a Grizzly go after her cub and put her baby in a choke hold, and then try to negotiate for your release that is about as good a plan as any other.
I thought he trailed off at the end while he was saying “that’s a problem for me.” Which makes it even funnier, as if there’s people out there who don’t have a problem with being eaten alive. Brian’s a pree funny dude. Edit: I went back to make sure, and he does say “that’s a problem for me.” At 1:20
I got charged by a black bear when I was 14. It was early daylight hours and I didn't know what it was. It ran from 60 yards to 20 and I was sitting there squinting with my rifle pointed in a safe direction trying to get my dad to stop walking away. If I had been afraid of it and ran the thing wouldn't have stopped at 20 yards. If I had my sights on it, it would have regretted running towards me. On the bright side I carried a deer carcass down that same path the next day and it didn't try to steal it.
@@titusjames4912 black bears are mostly bluff unless its a mother with cubs. I've seen a video of one charging at a dog and the dog didn't even know what was going on and started sniffing the bear and the bear was confused that it didn't run away so he himself ran away
I remember one time my girlfriend and I were hiking and a grizzly bear came out of nowhere. and boy was she pissed. I was so thankful that I brought my 44 magnum with me. one shot to the kneecap is all it took. my girlfriend dropped like a sack of potatoes and the bear got her. I was able to escape unscathed. I didn't even have to run. I just jogged back to my car. I don't think I even broke a sweat.
@@cameronpalmer401 What I said was supposed to be a joke, but you're right a bit to dark really. I guess it's gallows humor as I live in montana and have heard horrible true stories of bears dragging women out of tents and actually eating them alive. Scares the shit out of me. I've actually had a big bear within arms length of me ( and very unhappy) on a high mountain trail which was shooed into me by a bunch of california tourists. Had a bear come into my camp at night and wander around sniffing at me and a couple friends (not in tents) while we slept in sleeping bags. (and that was as a teen ager when I did not have a gun. It's fuckin' creepy.
My dad once told me a story about two campers mauled by a bear. They were found dead with the bear laying dead next to them. Their .44 magnums had been emptied on the bear but it wasn't enough to kill the bear before it mauled them to death.
I don't care if I die, as long as I take it out with me, especially if someone else is with me, lined up next on the menu. If bear spray/gun fails... I'm going out fighting with my 10" bowie knife if I have to, going for the throat, stomach, eyes.. I'm giving it hell.
I'm from and live in Alaska and I know exactly where Joe is talking about when his friend got charged and it is on Kodiak island. Tourist or people that do not know call those bears there grizzlies... But they are not grizzlies, those are Kodiak bears and they are the largest and most powerfull "brown bear" on the planet and the only place they live and can only be seen is on Kodiak Island, Alaska. Their front paws can get as wide as a mans chest with 4 inch claws. A grizzly is a brown bear with a Kodiak being a sub species. They have been isolated to Kodiak Island for about 10 to 12,000 years or so. I believe the largest Kodiak bear ever recorded there stood 12.5 feet tall and weighed 1,600 lbs. They are magnificent, majestic and terrifying to see.
0:43-1:07 Those grunts from Joe aren’t from being impressed by the bear, it’s just him using all his energy to not to interrupt the story by asking if he’s ever had elk before.
One time my friends were debating for like 15 minutes about which weapon was the optimal choice for taking on a grizzly. I ended it by telling them they were all wrong, and the only logical option was to take a bazooka.
Bucketheadhead sure but a Rocket will only explode from at certain amount of distance traveled. It that bear is metres away from you, you better smash its head with the rocket. I’d rather an AA-12 with a 32 round drum mag.

I have had two Grizz encounters. 2001, Northport, Wa. My gf and I were north of the Columbia River/Lake Roosevelt, elk hunting about a mile south of the canadian border. We took a break in a long, narrow meadow, leaned rifles against a tree. She was looking around and said "Oh look, a horse." I looked where she was pointing, saw a grizz ambling down through the aspens. Looked closer at the bear as I picked up my rifle, saw he was walking down a trail, a trail which meandered through the meadow, right past our tree; the same trail we came up into the meadow on. Told her "It's a grizz," while I tossed her her rifle. Never forget, she said "Well this fucking sucks!" The bear came out of the trees walked right down the meadow towards us, completely unaware as he was upwind and about 70 yards at that point. I told her to get a rest on the tree with her 7mm Rem Mag, wait til I fired, then keep shooting til the grizz stopped moving. I stepped out from the tree into plain sight, my 7mm Rem Mag ready, yelled at the bear once. I told her if he didn't stop there, we were going to shoot. The grizz stood up on his hind legs, could hear him sniffing. I yelled again, he turned and busted brush through the trees back the way he came to the north. I paced off where he stopped and stood up, about 29 yards. Thankfully, I didn't have to fire a warning shot, or shoot the bear. No harm no foul. Second time was Alaska, 2015, with my then 3 year old son. We were visiting family in Fairbanks, drove borth of town and went for a hike. Had a Glock 20 10mm on me, and a Mossberg 590 12 gauge with slugs. My son was running ahead of me about ten feet towards a creek, when I heard a crashing in the brush. Thought it was a moose, so I grabbed my son and pulled him backwards. A grizz popped out of the brush, jumped the trail about 50 feet away, from our left to right, and was gone as soon as we saw him or her, cashing away through the willows. We went our happy asses back to my uncle's truck, and i was sweating like a knight in a convent until we cleared that brush. Black bears, 3 encounters, only once needed to spray one with bear spray. My advice as a lifelong hunter? Practice getting your weapons into action, fast and accurately. Whether it be bear spray, a handgun, or a long gun, if you can't get it into action fast, you will be either lucky or a statistic. The only people who stand there like a deer in the headlights when a bear takes them by surprise, is the people who have never prepared. Be prepared, have a plan, practice your plan if you are going to be in bear country.
What to do if you're attacked by a Grizzly Bear: Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.
Bears are an insane specimen of nature, I always thought they were like the most badass, alpha predator around. Then one evening I watched a documentary on Russia. They got to explain about the fauna and such and they were showing off their brown bears and we're comparing them to the US population. Then they showed what was left of a bear, a very large bear; first thing I asked myself was how large and alpha was the bear that did this, and I questioned if they were a cannibal species - turns out it was a Siberian tiger that hunted, killed and consumed that bear. Felines are on a different level with their stealth and athleticism.
That is insane, I didn't believe it was possible But apparently tigers will ambush them But in a face to face confrontation the tiger will lose These seem like animals that would normally avoid each other Considering how dangerous they both are Animals just want to survive, so will go after high reward low risk meals Which youd think is us But I guess animals that eat a human get killed off
The craziest thing about that is they say that a tiger will be up a tree and make mock bear sounds to lure them in and jump on their back, now that being said, if it’s a grizzly and a tiger and the bear isn’t taken by surprise the grizzly wins every single time
As one comedian said on what do you do if attacked by a bear... play dead. Because it gets you used to how you'll be in a second I believe it may have been Jimmy Carr
Always wear pepperspray and have small bells on you to alert the bears. If you see beardropping go the other way , its easy to identify beardropping, it smells pepper and have small bells in it 😊
If a Grizzly is in a defensive attack(almost always), you can expect that resisting might make it more aggressive(protect yourself with a thick backpack). Bears learn from experimentation just like we do. We are lucky that they think we do not fear them. Love Your Channel!
Why has no one else mentioned this? That was really, really impressive! My daughters are huge fans of my farm animal sounds, but I have no idea where I'd begin on that bear sound he just did.
MD Supreme Even if the bear is chemically castrated, he will still molest young boys in front of a cut out of Peter Pan, but he will be able to hit those high notes forever!
It turns out a lot of bears were chemically castrated in Italy so they could preform in the Italian opera. So there are many wild grizzlies that have escaped into the wild were they have reproduced. Those grizzly bears will only molest you.
121bham There are several reasons to carry with a round in the chamber. The time it takes to rack the slide could make a difference and if you are drawing you need the gun NOW. Under stress there is always a chance of making mistakes and failing to chamber a round/inducing a malfunction. Also, it takes two hands to reliably rack a slide, and you may be in a situation where one of your hands is not free when being attacked.
I know this is an old video, but the greatest bear story is Gene Moe, an absolute legend. Fought off a Kodiak bear with just a pocket knife and his left fist. Epic and true story
About a month ago a backcountry guide was mauled to death by a grizzly in West Yellowstone, Montana, about a 4 hour drive from where I live in Billings. He was a big man (6'7") and an experienced outdoorsman, but unfortunately came upon a bear protecting a moose carcass. The bear saw him as competition for its food and killed him.
Size doesn’t matter to a Grizzly they can take down huge moose which by the way are as tall as 7”0 and can weight up to 1,400 pounds. So humans as tall as we can get are nothing to bears.
Understand that no matter how good of a gun someone is carrying bad ammo will not only make it jam but it can dud. This is why it's good to learn how to clear a jam quickly. It's very easy to unjam a glock once someone tells you what you gotta do and you practice a bit.
@@notninja97 Tap, rack, bang for regular jams. Again if you use decent ammo and somewhat care for a glock it just won't malfunction. It just won't. Think about how statistically impossible it is for that glock to malfunction that one time you're trying to shoot a bear.
Homeboy didnt have a round chambered in the Glock.. Thats why it didnt fire. He panicked and forgot to rack the slide.. He pulled the trigger without a round loaded.. The Glock will fire.. That was user error.. Not the fault of the Glock. I have 2 and they are the most reliable handguns in the world
That's how information works... Other people that experience it pass it on, and we can form these patterns of reliable repeatability and then can confidently tell people how to navigate your best chance of survival. Crazy, right?
It’s crazy how much easier it is to kill a lion than a grizzly. Could you imagine actually saying to yourself “If only it was a hungry lion that was running at me”
I spoke to a Canadian about bears and what if a bear attacks you he said the best way to deal with it is " you stay away from the large hungry land predators "
Yah, well just consider that bear had an elk in its mouth. Do you have any idea how fast an elk can move, when it's in a dead-on sprint? I do. Not as fast as a grizzly.
then i guess it would go down like this: Boom shot a double....shitty double. but the grizzly falls and hits its head and goes out. just like that. shitty double and its over.
lividual - Same here! Very nice to find someone who share the same interests as I regarding this topic. Personally, I prefer the talks on animals exclusively.
i'm curious why 3-4+ shots of 9mm wouldn't stop it, or at least get it to rethink it's actions. i carry every time i go camping, but i carry my 9 loaded with hollows, 10rd clip + an extra, because i can fit the shit into my pants without looking like i have a fucking cannon on my person. if i bring the 45 it's g'damn gigantic and ridicuous.
@@cwr8618 Bears has tremendous amount of bone and muscle protecting their vitals in the front. If one is coming at you, you need the bullet to hit the brain between their eyes. This is far from easy. Moreover wounding it kicks it into fight mode, Aggressive bears mainly are trying to tell you to fuck off. A wounded bear think themselves locked in a fight to the death. It will never run or relent. and even mortally wounded they can function for a long time.
@@Jauhl1 good response. Though I wonder if you researched the subject before responding. And I don't say that to sound like a dick, but so many people do just that. I did a couple of searches on bear encounters and handguns and the survival rate is more than 90% in favor of people, and that includes the folks carrying 9s. Pretty interesting stuff.
@@cwr8618 It was what I was taught taking my hunting exam. I don't know how it works with handguns, here those are not allowed. Perhaps it's different if you just can pump bullets into it. Also notice that nothing of this applies to black bears, who will run if it can and might feature in your statistic. Here you have a guy firing a shotgun in the face of a grizzly bear. th-cam.com/video/wj7Z5oMWuIU/w-d-xo.html
Steps to do when you see a grizzly running at you. 1. Roll in to a ball 2. Start to cry 3. Hopefully the bear see’s you as pathetic and not worth their time.
I've heard of two lucky fools who managed to chase off a bear attacking them. One punched him really hard in the face, the other got bitten shoved his arm into the bears throat to the point that it puked...
It might be a lion or a leapord or something i am getting confused with and it takes a whole lot of balls but ive heard you can raise your arms way over your head and out (make yourself look as big as possible) and scream real loud guttural scream the animal will think you yourself are a predator and begin to stand down..... The next part takes even bigger balls but if part one works then you actually need to run at the beast while still screaming. The last thing you should do is run away. Instantly the animal will know you are prey and the chase is on.
@@irieite9666 Maybe. Depends on how crazy the lion or bear is. A bear can reach a higher height so is harder to scare off with the "im higher than you so Ill win" nature trick.... Possible....an old male whos fought alot.......Jesus just run for our lives........ Problem is with lions is their land speed....cant go uphill or downhill...we go to deat hill...lul
I have a true story about what to do if you stumble upon a mother black bear and her cub. I was walking through the forest in Florida and I saw something in a tree moving. At first I thought it was a monkey, but then I remembered that I don't think they have those in Florida. I realized I was looking at a bear cub and first thought was "where is the mother?" I looked down at the bottom of the tree and there she was. She had treed her cub and was on the ground waiting for me. She stood up on her hind legs and hissed like a cat at me. I was with-in 25 yards. No way to escape if she attacked, because they are very fast and run over smaller trees that would make human fall down. I believed she was trying to tell me to get out of that area as fast as possible or she would kill me. I had heard that you should not sprint away, because they may chase you. I didn't get that vide from her. She wanted me out of there right now. I just turned and did my best Last of the Mohecans dash through the forest. I fell over downed trees several times. I looked behind me and she was not coming. I kept running out of respect for her size, power and speed and she never came after me. It was probably the most scared I have ever been, because she had every single advantage over me that mattered in the forest. I'm just lucky I read her right and she wasn't more aggressive.
Every time I've seen a grizzly out in the wild they were headed the other way...I'm sure more of them have seen(smelled) me than I them...I've had black bears just stand there and grin at me...like I'm lunch...friggin' creepy
For your own sake... While I do travel whenever I get the chance, I've spent a MAJORITY of my life in bear-country, and I've seen PLENTY of bears. I haven't even bothered to count in more than a decade. When you find yourself "stumbling on" a bear in a clearing... with any space at all... The best FIRST thing to do is STOP. Second, STUDY... The bear is either going to be acting aggressive or not. Aggressive means TAKING GROUND... that's "approaching you" specifically. Mostly, they're not aggressive toward humans. Mostly, they're defensive, and POSTURING (remember how the mother bear stood up and hissed and made noise?) You WERE correct (Mike), that she didn't intend to eat you. She just wanted you gone, no longer threatening... BUT here's the only real problem. You RAN away. DO NOT ACT LIKE PREY. Weirdly, this is the same rule with big cats. (I've seen a few of those over the years too)... Just back away, or sidle away. Keep your head on a swivel, and PAY ATTENTION, not just to the bear, but your surroundings. More people get killed by sprinting blind into a tree, breaking a leg on roots or rocks, falling off a damn cliff, or stampeding themselves into a river than actually get killed by the bear that scared them in the first place... It's called "Panic Mode" and you can't let that rule your head. What's the point of being the SMARTEST damn predator on top of the food chain the world over... When the MOMENT you need all those smarts worst, you don't have them in your control to do a damn thing??? (think about that) Believe me, I know how hard it is, bush-whacking your way through a viney nasty thrash of thorns and crap only to notice you're just about to step on a grizzly's FOOT... The stink of its breath inundating your very conscious mind as spittle streaks your cheeks and shirt. You can't even think about the booney-hat... You forget all about the 44 in your holster. You're deaf, and all you can see in that moment is brown ruffly fur. You even drop the machete in your hand before your ears are ringing from that god-awful thing. AND... I just backstepped, "No bear." As firmly as I could muster (think Barney Fife trying not to pass right the F*** out) and I glanced around to the next clean ground, and stepped there. "It's okay... No bear.... be cool." AND another and another step. In my case, that day, I was about four or five yards back off the mother bear, when I saw the two cubs, struggling their way up the tree. AND admittedly, that was very likely the LUCKIEST damn day of my entire 40-odd year existence. BUT she was a Montana Behemoth, and I simply wasn't on the menu that day. I could hear her and the cubs leaving out more than see them go, and after about twenty minutes some 30 or 40 yards off, I returned and retrieved the machete I'd dropped. It's probably the most fearful, or perhaps, I'd just wrote myself off... It was certainly as close to scared to death as I've ever been. DO NOT ACT LIKE PREY... Scurrying and scrambling around, falling all over yourself, and flailing uselessly like a prey animal is EXACTLY the kind of activity that ATTRACTS a predator. Nature's a cruel, heartless b***h, and even the smart predators know that. They don't take "unusual" very well either. SO acting confident and moving deliberately will send them the signal that YOU know what you're doing there... even if you don't really. They don't tend to fight battles they're not confident in winning... AND even the Bear or Lion will recognize that someone strolling right up like he knows he's the boss... probably IS the boss. (lolz) It's enough to keep them from taking you straight away, and every second bought is a minute earned. ;o)
@ gnarth I also heard you are supposed to "act bigger" like puff up or extend your arms. That went through my head too, but I was convinced it wanted me gone fast. Trying to run is useless in the forest from a bear and I did look like prey I'm sure. I don't think she was hungry. It was raining that day and I don't think she heard me as far away as we would have liked or they may have just moved off in another direction and I may have never saw them. It was a sight though. Kind of like a really hairy 400lb man in size, but way faster and more powerful. Not to mention the claws and teeth. The acting like a boss thing makes sense, but she was ready to go toe to toe with a boss over that cub. I didn't want to challenge her bossness at all.
@@MikeBrown-go1pc Yeah, I've heard that too... In certain cases, it is viable, but you have to have your wits about you... In Africa there are a LOT of wild dogs... They're not exactly the hyenas or wolves or what have you... SO just dogs, not unlike what you're probably picturing in your mind at the word... just truly wild, not even feral (like used to people at all) just wild... With predators about that size, it can make sense that "buffing up" or whatever to look bigger (if possible) will help your situation... It can even be helpful with certain encounters with the likes of bobcat, wolves, or coyotes (slightly more likely in the U.S. than truly wild dogs)... BUT we do have a fair feral dog population from spot to spot (at least around here)... SO it's worth note. BUT with a BEAR... some 400-800 POUNDS of spring-steel, rawhide, piss, hate, and razor-blades??? You can waste your breath if you like, but I'm going to stick in the "doubtful" category on that one... The "routine" of motions of buffing up and acting like you're bigger might buy you a few extra seconds, but it's more likely to only work when the bear didn't want a "piece of your ass" in the first place... like your original story. (or mine, if I'm honest) Acting "bosslike" isn't just about flaunting your control over others. It's handling things in stride... Think the way Andy always handles crisis situations (for what they're worth) in "The Andy Griffith Show"... I know, it's outdated, and a lot of people don't care for the simplistic plots and lack of depth in the comedy, but that's part of what makes it infinitely easier to "pick apart" for useful tips. Andy's best work is simply "firm" while Barney is always "high energy" and "bullying" (well, he tries)... BUT the cornerstone of Fife's profile (as a character) is that he's inherently a coward. While Andy is inherently courageous. When "shit hits the fan" you don't get a whole lot of time to debate best points, or figure anything out. SO it's highly important to PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION to your surroundings "in the bush" at all times. Admittedly, there's only so much to human attention, but more of the animal attack victims I've seen in the worst shape for the wear are the ones with headphones and toys... stuff that distracts from where you are, what you should be doing, and whatever's around you. It's a case of "forest for the trees"... SO you can't depend on what you can see out here. You listen and smell... and pay attention to stuff being "out of place" or "off putting"... It might be nothing. Instincts have to get refined to become skills, but if every nerve and fiber in your being is screaming at you (for no discernible reason) that you really want to go back... you might well want to listen. You do have real instincts, and they're not evolved into you for nothing. You just can't go blind-running around and screaming and waving your hands foolishly for letting your emotional state take over control. Emotions are TERRIBLE pilots. ;o)
Mike Brown dude I’m 6’9” 280lbs and I can tell you this all the people that say to puff up are full of it. That bear I ran into couldn’t give 2 shits about my size. You did the right thing getting out of there quickly only thing I did differently is unholster my side arm and back away while facing the bear
When hiking in bear country always play loud music from your phone or speakers. It will scare the bear at best and at the very least you won’t startle them into killing you out of fear.
I’d crap my pants and throw up at the same time then die from a massive heart attack. That bear would probably just laugh and walk away at that point. 🤦🏻♂️
You try and reason with the Grizzly Bear. You say: “If you can answer my riddle, you can kill me and eat me for lunch” And then you just ask the bear a difficult riddle that a bear wouldn’t know the answer to.
A friend of a friend was out in the Alberta wilderness for work with about 9 others. Out of nowhere a giant grisly attacked the smallest woman. People tried to hit it with bear spray, sticks etc. Nothing worked. The woman was crying and talking to the others as the bear ate her, she didn’t die right away. There wasn’t much of the body left when the bear was done. All the employees had to attend ptsd therapy sessions after. I don’t camp in tents anymore. 😬

I got charged by a black bear when I was 14. It was early daylight hours and I didn't know what it was. It ran from 60 yards to 20 and I was sitting there squinting with my rifle pointed in a safe direction trying to get my dad to stop walking away. If I had been afraid of it and ran the thing wouldn't have stopped at 20 yards. If I had my sights on it, it would have regretted running towards me. On the bright side I carried a deer carcass down that same path the next day and it didn't try to steal it.

My dad once told me a story about two campers mauled by a bear. They were found dead with the bear laying dead next to them. Their .44 magnums had been emptied on the bear but it wasn't enough to kill the bear before it mauled them to death.
I don't care if I die, as long as I take it out with me, especially if someone else is with me, lined up next on the menu. If bear spray/gun fails... I'm going out fighting with my 10" bowie knife if I have to, going for the throat, stomach, eyes.. I'm giving it hell.

Best defense is to iminari roll and catch the bear with an inside heel hook. You'll immobilize it and then you can briskly walk away.

I'm from and live in Alaska and I know exactly where Joe is talking about when his friend got charged and it is on Kodiak island. Tourist or people that do not know call those bears there grizzlies... But they are not grizzlies, those are Kodiak bears and they are the largest and most powerfull "brown bear" on the planet and the only place they live and can only be seen is on Kodiak Island, Alaska. Their front paws can get as wide as a mans chest with 4 inch claws. A grizzly is a brown bear with a Kodiak being a sub species. They have been isolated to Kodiak Island for about 10 to 12,000 years or so. I believe the largest Kodiak bear ever recorded there stood 12.5 feet tall and weighed 1,600 lbs. They are magnificent, majestic and terrifying to see.
fucking shit man. i'd kinda want to see, but i kinda would just rather watch that shit on tv and have no risk of getting my face swiped off

@@TruthTe11er not Kodiak bears. It was grizzly bears that got Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend.
@@cwr8618 i agree. To hell with that shit.
0:43-1:07 Those grunts from Joe aren’t from being impressed by the bear, it’s just him using all his energy to not to interrupt the story by asking if he’s ever had elk before.
this is why i carry a rocket launcher every time i go for a hike in the woods.
Huh, i usually have a chopper gunner watching my back as i hunt
One time my friends were debating for like 15 minutes about which weapon was the optimal choice for taking on a grizzly. I ended it by telling them they were all wrong, and the only logical option was to take a bazooka.
Bucketheadhead sure but a Rocket will only explode from at certain amount of distance traveled. It that bear is metres away from you, you better smash its head with the rocket. I’d rather an AA-12 with a 32 round drum mag.

When a grizzly attacks you then you pause the game and select "restart" from the menu. Simple.

Just unrelenting force and you're good.
Switch sides
you don't need to restart the entire game,thats why you save your game

Bear about to attack: "ROOOOAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
Tony: "Hold on I'm talking brother."
I have had two Grizz encounters. 2001, Northport, Wa. My gf and I were north of the Columbia River/Lake Roosevelt, elk hunting about a mile south of the canadian border.
We took a break in a long, narrow meadow, leaned rifles against a tree. She was looking around and said "Oh look, a horse." I looked where she was pointing, saw a grizz ambling down through the aspens. Looked closer at the bear as I picked up my rifle, saw he was walking down a trail, a trail which meandered through the meadow, right past our tree; the same trail we came up into the meadow on. Told her "It's a grizz," while I tossed her her rifle. Never forget, she said "Well this fucking sucks!"
The bear came out of the trees walked right down the meadow towards us, completely unaware as he was upwind and about 70 yards at that point. I told her to get a rest on the tree with her 7mm Rem Mag, wait til I fired, then keep shooting til the grizz stopped moving.
I stepped out from the tree into plain sight, my 7mm Rem Mag ready, yelled at the bear once. I told her if he didn't stop there, we were going to shoot. The grizz stood up on his hind legs, could hear him sniffing. I yelled again, he turned and busted brush through the trees back the way he came to the north. I paced off where he stopped and stood up, about 29 yards. Thankfully, I didn't have to fire a warning shot, or shoot the bear. No harm no foul.
Second time was Alaska, 2015, with my then 3 year old son. We were visiting family in Fairbanks, drove borth of town and went for a hike. Had a Glock 20 10mm on me, and a Mossberg 590 12 gauge with slugs.
My son was running ahead of me about ten feet towards a creek, when I heard a crashing in the brush. Thought it was a moose, so I grabbed my son and pulled him backwards. A grizz popped out of the brush, jumped the trail about 50 feet away, from our left to right, and was gone as soon as we saw him or her, cashing away through the willows. We went our happy asses back to my uncle's truck, and i was sweating like a knight in a convent until we cleared that brush.
Black bears, 3 encounters, only once needed to spray one with bear spray.
My advice as a lifelong hunter? Practice getting your weapons into action, fast and accurately. Whether it be bear spray, a handgun, or a long gun, if you can't get it into action fast, you will be either lucky or a statistic. The only people who stand there like a deer in the headlights when a bear takes them by surprise, is the people who have never prepared. Be prepared, have a plan, practice your plan if you are going to be in bear country.
How about not putting your family in harms wat in first place, you had signs yet keep doing it. That's ignorance.
What to do if you're attacked by a Grizzly Bear:
Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.

Bears are an insane specimen of nature, I always thought they were like the most badass, alpha predator around. Then one evening I watched a documentary on Russia. They got to explain about the fauna and such and they were showing off their brown bears and we're comparing them to the US population. Then they showed what was left of a bear, a very large bear; first thing I asked myself was how large and alpha was the bear that did this, and I questioned if they were a cannibal species - turns out it was a Siberian tiger that hunted, killed and consumed that bear. Felines are on a different level with their stealth and athleticism.
That is insane, I didn't believe it was possible
But apparently tigers will ambush them
But in a face to face confrontation the tiger will lose
These seem like animals that would normally avoid each other
Considering how dangerous they both are
Animals just want to survive, so will go after high reward low risk meals
Which youd think is us
But I guess animals that eat a human get killed off
The craziest thing about that is they say that a tiger will be up a tree and make mock bear sounds to lure them in and jump on their back, now that being said, if it’s a grizzly and a tiger and the bear isn’t taken by surprise the grizzly wins every single time

Always wear pepperspray and have small bells on you to alert the bears. If you see beardropping go the other way , its easy to identify beardropping, it smells pepper and have small bells in it 😊
If a Grizzly is in a defensive attack(almost always), you can expect that resisting might make it more aggressive(protect yourself with a thick backpack). Bears learn from experimentation just like we do. We are lucky that they think we do not fear them. Love Your Channel!

It turns out a lot of bears were chemically castrated in Italy so they could preform in the Italian opera. So there are many wild grizzlies that have escaped into the wild were they have reproduced. Those grizzly bears will only molest you.

Story: "The gun didn't fire"
Reality: *doesn't chamber the round before shooting*
Ryan G LMAO
Reality: if you’re carrying there should always be a round in the chamber.
121bham There are several reasons to carry with a round in the chamber. The time it takes to rack the slide could make a difference and if you are drawing you need the gun NOW. Under stress there is always a chance of making mistakes and failing to chamber a round/inducing a malfunction. Also, it takes two hands to reliably rack a slide, and you may be in a situation where one of your hands is not free when being attacked.
Carrying an unloaded gun in a pack and expecting you might have to use it for protection is just stupid. It’s called wear a holster.
You might as well carry a claw hammer vs an empty gun

A friend got attacked in Wyoming. Months in the hospital, his whole body broken.
About a month ago a backcountry guide was mauled to death by a grizzly in West Yellowstone, Montana, about a 4 hour drive from where I live in Billings. He was a big man (6'7") and an experienced outdoorsman, but unfortunately came upon a bear protecting a moose carcass. The bear saw him as competition for its food and killed him.
Size doesn’t matter to a Grizzly they can take down huge moose which by the way are as tall as 7”0 and can weight up to 1,400 pounds. So humans as tall as we can get are nothing to bears.
"Glock didnt fire". I doubt that, probably didn't have one in the chamber.
might as well dont have a gun at that point
Understand that no matter how good of a gun someone is carrying bad ammo will not only make it jam but it can dud. This is why it's good to learn how to clear a jam quickly. It's very easy to unjam a glock once someone tells you what you gotta do and you practice a bit.
@@notninja97 Tap, rack, bang for regular jams. Again if you use decent ammo and somewhat care for a glock it just won't malfunction. It just won't. Think about how statistically impossible it is for that glock to malfunction that one time you're trying to shoot a bear.
@@bingbong6127 Exactly.
Homeboy didnt have a round chambered in the Glock.. Thats why it didnt fire. He panicked and forgot to rack the slide.. He pulled the trigger without a round loaded..
The Glock will fire.. That was user error.. Not the fault of the Glock. I have 2 and they are the most reliable handguns in the world

@@cwr8618 Bears has tremendous amount of bone and muscle protecting their vitals in the front. If one is coming at you, you need the bullet to hit the brain between their eyes. This is far from easy. Moreover wounding it kicks it into fight mode, Aggressive bears mainly are trying to tell you to fuck off. A wounded bear think themselves locked in a fight to the death. It will never run or relent. and even mortally wounded they can function for a long time.
@@Jauhl1 good response. Though I wonder if you researched the subject before responding. And I don't say that to sound like a dick, but so many people do just that. I did a couple of searches on bear encounters and handguns and the survival rate is more than 90% in favor of people, and that includes the folks carrying 9s. Pretty interesting stuff.
@@cwr8618 It was what I was taught taking my hunting exam. I don't know how it works with handguns, here those are not allowed. Perhaps it's different if you just can pump bullets into it.

They are quadrapeds and will get you, sounds bad but go downhill, they fall easier.
The Hole in Dans Sock you still have no chance of escapng by running.
@@user-vx8qt9cd8o "no chance"
No, some chance. Especially downhill and someone fast. Your average person would gas out 100%.
It might be a lion or a leapord or something i am getting confused with and it takes a whole lot of balls but ive heard you can raise your arms way over your head and out (make yourself look as big as possible) and scream real loud guttural scream the animal will think you yourself are a predator and begin to stand down.....
The next part takes even bigger balls but if part one works then you actually need to run at the beast while still screaming.
The last thing you should do is run away. Instantly the animal will know you are prey and the chase is on.
@@irieite9666
Maybe.
Depends on how crazy the lion or bear is. A bear can reach a higher height so is harder to scare off with the "im higher than you so Ill win" nature trick....

I have a true story about what to do if you stumble upon a mother black bear and her cub.
I was walking through the forest in Florida and I saw something in a tree moving. At first I thought it was a monkey, but then I remembered that I don't think they have those in Florida. I realized I was looking at a bear cub and first thought was "where is the mother?" I looked down at the bottom of the tree and there she was. She had treed her cub and was on the ground waiting for me.
She stood up on her hind legs and hissed like a cat at me. I was with-in 25 yards. No way to escape if she attacked, because they are very fast and run over smaller trees that would make human fall down.
I believed she was trying to tell me to get out of that area as fast as possible or she would kill me. I had heard that you should not sprint away, because they may chase you. I didn't get that vide from her. She wanted me out of there right now. I just turned and did my best Last of the Mohecans dash through the forest. I fell over downed trees several times. I looked behind me and she was not coming. I kept running out of respect for her size, power and speed and she never came after me. It was probably the most scared I have ever been, because she had every single advantage over me that mattered in the forest. I'm just lucky I read her right and she wasn't more aggressive.
Every time I've seen a grizzly out in the wild they were headed the other way...I'm sure more of them have seen(smelled) me than I them...I've had black bears just stand there and grin at me...like I'm lunch...friggin' creepy
For your own sake...
While I do travel whenever I get the chance, I've spent a MAJORITY of my life in bear-country, and I've seen PLENTY of bears. I haven't even bothered to count in more than a decade.
When you find yourself "stumbling on" a bear in a clearing... with any space at all... The best FIRST thing to do is STOP.
Second, STUDY... The bear is either going to be acting aggressive or not. Aggressive means TAKING GROUND... that's "approaching you" specifically.
Mostly, they're not aggressive toward humans. Mostly, they're defensive, and POSTURING (remember how the mother bear stood up and hissed and made noise?)
You WERE correct (Mike), that she didn't intend to eat you. She just wanted you gone, no longer threatening...
BUT here's the only real problem. You RAN away. DO NOT ACT LIKE PREY.
Weirdly, this is the same rule with big cats. (I've seen a few of those over the years too)...
Just back away, or sidle away. Keep your head on a swivel, and PAY ATTENTION, not just to the bear, but your surroundings. More people get killed by sprinting blind into a tree, breaking a leg on roots or rocks, falling off a damn cliff, or stampeding themselves into a river than actually get killed by the bear that scared them in the first place... It's called "Panic Mode" and you can't let that rule your head.
What's the point of being the SMARTEST damn predator on top of the food chain the world over... When the MOMENT you need all those smarts worst, you don't have them in your control to do a damn thing??? (think about that)
Believe me, I know how hard it is, bush-whacking your way through a viney nasty thrash of thorns and crap only to notice you're just about to step on a grizzly's FOOT... The stink of its breath inundating your very conscious mind as spittle streaks your cheeks and shirt. You can't even think about the booney-hat... You forget all about the 44 in your holster. You're deaf, and all you can see in that moment is brown ruffly fur. You even drop the machete in your hand before your ears are ringing from that god-awful thing.
AND... I just backstepped, "No bear." As firmly as I could muster (think Barney Fife trying not to pass right the F*** out) and I glanced around to the next clean ground, and stepped there. "It's okay... No bear.... be cool." AND another and another step.
In my case, that day, I was about four or five yards back off the mother bear, when I saw the two cubs, struggling their way up the tree. AND admittedly, that was very likely the LUCKIEST damn day of my entire 40-odd year existence. BUT she was a Montana Behemoth, and I simply wasn't on the menu that day. I could hear her and the cubs leaving out more than see them go, and after about twenty minutes some 30 or 40 yards off, I returned and retrieved the machete I'd dropped. It's probably the most fearful, or perhaps, I'd just wrote myself off... It was certainly as close to scared to death as I've ever been.
DO NOT ACT LIKE PREY... Scurrying and scrambling around, falling all over yourself, and flailing uselessly like a prey animal is EXACTLY the kind of activity that ATTRACTS a predator. Nature's a cruel, heartless b***h, and even the smart predators know that. They don't take "unusual" very well either. SO acting confident and moving deliberately will send them the signal that YOU know what you're doing there... even if you don't really. They don't tend to fight battles they're not confident in winning... AND even the Bear or Lion will recognize that someone strolling right up like he knows he's the boss... probably IS the boss. (lolz) It's enough to keep them from taking you straight away, and every second bought is a minute earned. ;o)
@ gnarth I also heard you are supposed to "act bigger" like puff up or extend your arms. That went through my head too, but I was convinced it wanted me gone fast. Trying to run is useless in the forest from a bear and I did look like prey I'm sure. I don't think she was hungry. It was raining that day and I don't think she heard me as far away as we would have liked or they may have just moved off in another direction and I may have never saw them. It was a sight though. Kind of like a really hairy 400lb man in size, but way faster and more powerful. Not to mention the claws and teeth.
The acting like a boss thing makes sense, but she was ready to go toe to toe with a boss over that cub. I didn't want to challenge her bossness at all.
@@MikeBrown-go1pc Yeah, I've heard that too... In certain cases, it is viable, but you have to have your wits about you...
In Africa there are a LOT of wild dogs... They're not exactly the hyenas or wolves or what have you... SO just dogs, not unlike what you're probably picturing in your mind at the word... just truly wild, not even feral (like used to people at all) just wild...
With predators about that size, it can make sense that "buffing up" or whatever to look bigger (if possible) will help your situation...
It can even be helpful with certain encounters with the likes of bobcat, wolves, or coyotes (slightly more likely in the U.S. than truly wild dogs)... BUT we do have a fair feral dog population from spot to spot (at least around here)... SO it's worth note.
BUT with a BEAR... some 400-800 POUNDS of spring-steel, rawhide, piss, hate, and razor-blades???
You can waste your breath if you like, but I'm going to stick in the "doubtful" category on that one... The "routine" of motions of buffing up and acting like you're bigger might buy you a few extra seconds, but it's more likely to only work when the bear didn't want a "piece of your ass" in the first place... like your original story. (or mine, if I'm honest)
Acting "bosslike" isn't just about flaunting your control over others. It's handling things in stride... Think the way Andy always handles crisis situations (for what they're worth) in "The Andy Griffith Show"... I know, it's outdated, and a lot of people don't care for the simplistic plots and lack of depth in the comedy, but that's part of what makes it infinitely easier to "pick apart" for useful tips. Andy's best work is simply "firm" while Barney is always "high energy" and "bullying" (well, he tries)... BUT the cornerstone of Fife's profile (as a character) is that he's inherently a coward. While Andy is inherently courageous.
When "shit hits the fan" you don't get a whole lot of time to debate best points, or figure anything out. SO it's highly important to PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION to your surroundings "in the bush" at all times. Admittedly, there's only so much to human attention, but more of the animal attack victims I've seen in the worst shape for the wear are the ones with headphones and toys... stuff that distracts from where you are, what you should be doing, and whatever's around you.
It's a case of "forest for the trees"... SO you can't depend on what you can see out here. You listen and smell... and pay attention to stuff being "out of place" or "off putting"... It might be nothing. Instincts have to get refined to become skills, but if every nerve and fiber in your being is screaming at you (for no discernible reason) that you really want to go back... you might well want to listen. You do have real instincts, and they're not evolved into you for nothing. You just can't go blind-running around and screaming and waving your hands foolishly for letting your emotional state take over control. Emotions are TERRIBLE pilots. ;o)
Mike Brown dude I’m 6’9” 280lbs and I can tell you this all the people that say to puff up are full of it. That bear I ran into couldn’t give 2 shits about my size. You did the right thing getting out of there quickly only thing I did differently is unholster my side arm and back away while facing the bear
When hiking in bear country always play loud music from your phone or speakers. It will scare the bear at best and at the very least you won’t startle them into killing you out of fear.
So just let the bear bust some moves before he beats your ass to death 😂
When you’re attached by a bear you give it a big NOSE SQUISH!
I’d crap my pants and throw up at the same time then die from a massive heart attack. That bear would probably just laugh and walk away at that point. 🤦🏻♂️
Joe “ put a lama in an back pack” rogan
Stuff the lama in there
Joe''Kill a bear and put its head on a stake to scare the other bears'' Rogan
A good solution is to be accompanied by a friend whom you can comfortably outrun.
I'd drop my pants and let the heliCOCKter roll and push it away with the breeze.
@THE NOTORIOUS BIG SLICE Yeah, if you're 12.
Lol this comment needs to be seen
You try and reason with the Grizzly Bear.
You say: “If you can answer my riddle, you can kill me and eat me for lunch”
And then you just ask the bear a difficult riddle that a bear wouldn’t know the answer to.
You don't actually need to outrun grizzly bear, you only need to outrun other members of your family.
Bear Defense Instructions:
If it’s black fight back, if it’s brown lay down and if it’s white, goodnight!
A friend of a friend was out in the Alberta wilderness for work with about 9 others. Out of nowhere a giant grisly attacked the smallest woman. People tried to hit it with bear spray, sticks etc. Nothing worked. The woman was crying and talking to the others as the bear ate her, she didn’t die right away. There wasn’t much of the body left when the bear was done. All the employees had to attend ptsd therapy sessions after. I don’t camp in tents anymore. 😬
Gun may have worked. Nothing is guaranteed against a bear, but someone should have had a huge firearm.
Why would you go to such a place without the slightest weapon?
Nine people watched her die....
And it seems no one is allowed to carry any sort of real defensive weapons in commie Canada. Everyone should've had a long pointed pole, at least
Joe "I would lay in a fetal position" Rogan
Natty Fatty Powerlifting this is the best comment I have ever fucking seen
Dont forget crapping yourself. Grizzlies dont like poopy meat.
@Silviu Florin
Maybe to you.
Itd be a voluntary response for me.
😂😂
@Natty Fatty Powerlifting this cracked me up real good
Man how did he make that sound so well 0:40
I come back to this video every few months just to listen to his mimicked bear sound
"The black bears are more dangerous and more predatory to people." Ay what you tryna say Joe? 😂
-Josh Otusanya
A bear can run 50 yards in 3 seconds, not even Bo Jackson could out run one.
Renato Laranja so basically literally everybody alive is fucked ?
@@gnarlybastard6380 yep
Other than.......Usain Bolt
Image Kid usain can probably only maintain that speed for like 20 seconds. A bear will still fuck him up.
@@-__9767 I feel so humiliated whenever I stop to think, that there are 800lb fatasses, that run faster than I do.
Joe Rogan is like a more handsome version of Dwight Schrute.
That's a ruff analogy but I'll take it.
I’d call brock lesnar, he’s about the same size as a grizzly
