They are. Every corner of the planet has apex predators. Salties, gators, lions, cougars,wolves, coyotes, tigers, various sharks... Anywhere you are, there are apex predators. If you ever get a creepy feeling, listen to it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I feel sheepish for putting coyotes in here... But a female jogger on a park jogging trail in Nova Scotia was killed by one or more coyotes. Even coyotes can kill an unprepared person.
Since I saw the first bear attack video, I got hooked on them. And thanks to these videos I've learned bears are so powerful, fast and dangerous, they're nothing to be fooling around with.
Thank you and I’m glad to see that you were grasping the message for the channel. We have to still enjoy our forest and mountains, but know that we are not alone there. adventure bravely!
I have had more than enough of bears. Luckily I have always been aware to watch for bears. Growing up in Kittery, Maine I have had close encounters with bears, fishers and one cougar who ran across our background and up a tree thanks to my hound Ginger who made sure the cat went to the very top of biggest tree in our backyard. That was at 3:30’in the afternoon. I know because we just got home from school.
Absolutely. I never go out in the woods especially Bear country without My Glock 40 cal, 308 REM Rifle. Bear Spray, and two Bowie Knives. One 8 inch on my hip, one 5 inch on my ankle.@@scarybearattacks
Absolutely true!! The guy is an amazing storyteller. He has the rare talent of being able to make you truly feel what it’s like for a huge beast coming out to rip you apart. I never knew bear attacks were so common nor that bears are so agile creatures.
Im from Ontario Canada. Commenting on 3rd storey, I'm a believer that people should never go hiking or hunting alone. People stand a better chance of surviving a bear attack if hunting or hiking with a partner. Im a firm believer of "When traveling in bear country, be prepared for anything" it could very well save your life.
Many years ago I read an article from my mom's Readers Digest. It was about a woman who survived a bear attack. It had scalped her. I've been too scared to go anywhere that bears go for the last 40 years!
My hiking group was pursued by a bear. I never saw it. I had kept to the rest to prevent an at risk woman from getting separated. She was sedentary prior to this, and had also given birth about 6 weeks before. When the leader ordered us to turn around she was behind me. My focus became on being loud and thus heading off us being boxed in. W think it was a territorial dispute, as the Bear was feeding in a berry patch. Two of our women were menstruating, and that might've added confusion. We sighted another bear with cubs about 1/2 hour later. We gave them room, but needed to cross their trail to get to the rest of our group and the vehicles.
Awesome show.. I love the marathon stories. Great for a night of popcorn and Scary Bear Stories. I always get sad though when I know Bear Cubs are left alone without their Mama Bear. Anyone else feel that way? 🐻🐾♥️😢
Thank you and I’m glad that you see these are multifaceted problems when bears or humans die. We create problems for them, and then they can’t help but create problems for us. We are the ones who are the stewards of the land, and I think they’re the greater burden for everyone’s existence. Adventure bravely!
@@scarybearattacks Yes, we create problems for the bears and for us by not making noise, not carrying spray and gun and going alone. We must be responsible!
have seen bears walk right up to a dog and dog didnt know it was there humans have no clue most cant even find themselves in there backyard and dont see the forest for the trees wild animals are quiet on the hunt
I first want to comment on this channel. Its my absolute favorite. The narrator is fantastic! Helena looks amazing considering what she went through. Being only 100 lbs 53 yrs of age and surviving what shed gone through. My dear God what a strong lady. God bless you. ❤❤❤
First story - predatory black - Alaskan here who’s studied both black and brown, and black bears have shown an usual propensity to predatory attacks. I am extremely careful of them around SE where I live. We have a den behind our house and the bears including families of them use our 120 stairs to our garage for their own movement so I usually call down to ensure they haven’t seen any activity before I head out. We have a large black male in the area right now. Just be careful, everyone. Love your stories, Addicus!
I spent 8 years working in a remote camp at bistcho lake, north west of Zama city. My understanding was trouble bears from jasper national park get moved to this area. I had quite a few meetings with bears in the area. Most were skittish and ran away from my quad or chopper. A few came right to the camp and through the bear fence behind camp. Bear baiting on my leases was also something I had to be aware of.
I am a little surprised any bears were relocated to an area where there is known bear baiting. We usually relocate any problem animals well outside of an area known to be areas where human interactions could occur. But here in Ak it is pretty hard to keep everyone safe of course. And sometimes I have to explain the range of some of these bears. Curious about your bear proof fencing... UDAP or Electrofence? Perma net? Reason I ask is because we do run into folks of course wanting to know which one works best. Usually we suggest Electrofence. But I hear UDAP is pretty good as well. Do you run a bear fence annually? If so any suggestions I could pass along would be deeply appreciated. Being it is your property I take it you are also a guide? You do not have to answer but I assure you it is just a question because of your statement. I am always interested with what a guide has to say or even a land owner or lease . The information I gather is more that can be added to experience for my job. Different terrain and food sources are a huge part of understanding bear activity. Thank you in advance.
Quite often you will not see a brown. But I would look for signs of activity in your area anyways. One of the main reasons I landed this position years ago was my ability to track even in a bad weather situation.. As you know weather can be unforgiving but understanding the animal your are tracking habits you can usually pick up the trail again. One of the pucker moments I have had working with large and toothy critters was actually on Kodiak. It is astonishing that while we were or I was tracking we being as quiet as humanly possible were unable to move in relative silence. But I noticed the tracks, stride and path the bear had all the sudden changed I knew we had alerted this boar and being the kind teddy bears they are circled in behind us and was actively stalking us. As we entered an open field I started to watch my 6. And sure enough there he was. The bears in Kodiak are actually good size animals as you I am sure know. But surprisingly he moved in behind us and we did NOT hear a sound. We actually later on started calling him a tactically efficient fur ball. I have had other close calls but nothing like that one in Kodiak. I have been involved in a few recovery situations where humans were involved in a predatory or territory attack. I have also been on scene of 2 sows protecting their cubs . What I try to tell people is to leave an area when they see a bear especially a sow with cubs. I am also asked what is a safe distance. I usually throw in a crack shot and say to remain safe leave the state. No one ever finds that very funny.... But when I explain how fast q bear can close the distance from 40 , 70 and 100 yards they look at me as if I am making stuff up. At 40 yards you would barely have enough time to grab your canister of bear spray. Bears especially ones that wish to render what they consider a threat charge you , most of the time shock sets in. Fear follows and clumsy hands are doing their best to take action. I am also asked what I think about bear spray. I personally do not like it for a few reasons. The distance from you to the bear before the spray is effective. Also in stressful situations you will not take the time to notice if you are spraying into the wind or you have bushes or tree with low hanging branches or anything that can deflect the bear spray back upon you. And if you happen to take a hit from that very bear spray you now are the one trying to recover from the effects. Which of course usually works out for the bear.. Like many here I carry a Glock G20 and a rifle or shotgun. The people I work with use a tranq. But if a bear is too close and charging at full speed even if you have to shoot them they can still follow through at hit you rather hard. A 10mm like the Glock I carry has 15 rounds and when you are in your back that pistol is your only lifeline.. Before anyone thinks poorly about this statement. I will tell you my number one priority is to keep humans as well as animals safe. I have had to shoot one bear and I live with that to this very day. I truly hate that I had to do this. Anyway look at me rambling on like a madman. Haha.
Thanks Addicus! Absolutely well detailed narration of these attacks. I think you can completely be ready being bear aware with gun, bear spray, knife, ax and Garmin but when you got an attacking CLOSE mad bear you still have only a small chance to survive! So if you go in their home BE SAFE and pray! PS you are right these attacks do give me Shivers!! 😊
After moving from Montreal, Canada with my small family, I lived for 6 years in Whitehorse, Yukon back in the late 1900’s, in blissful ignorance of the dangers inherent in sharing the land with the local wildlife. By the grace of God, we survived unharmed and enjoyed the experience immensely. But now, watching videos such as this series, it makes me very aware of the consequences we had been unknowingly risking all along through our lackadaisical attitude. Worse, it makes me realize that even the locals (the aboriginal native people excepted), were almost just as badly lackadaisical. All this to say, it strikes me that local authorities and/or employers at least in northerly areas ought to give serious thought to raising awareness of these things amongst the population.
@@JK-lp6uw The "awareness-making" part was thoroughly absent, during my 6 years in the Yukon. But that was in the 1970’s to 1980’s; maybe it’s changed since then. Yet somehow, I doubt it. There are always higher priorities - until one happens to be the victim. What more should be done? Well, I’m no expert; but I propose there are better ways than suggesting that folks carry a tin can with ball bearings, to scare away grizzlies in the wild. (In my time, these trinkets were offered in some shops on Main St in Whitehorse. No kidding. Probably in nearby Skagway and Haines, Alaska, too.)
@@sickdan.b.v.p6910 Prey animals like deer will circle back to evade, Bears circle back to kill or mama bears to make sure the threat is neutralized..That's sad he wasn't ready with his Iron..But, killing a grizzly with a 10 mm takes some skill and nerves, I would have been about ten feet up in a tree, locked and loaded..
Great stories as always. Can't wait till the next one. You have such the perfect voice and tone for telling them. Thanks for giving me some suspense. 🐻
@@Joe-d3t1tright? I often put on scary bear attacks. Found a great profound respect for those furry creatures. I often worry for my brothers. One works on the highways in the summer. He was way in the thick of bear country. And my other one loves to go cycling and also mushroom picking in the thick woods of B.C. Me being the doting sister I can't help but ask them to be careful and aware of their surroundings. They always tell me I've been doing this along time sis. I'll be ok.These are Infact Scary bear attacks. I'll tell them about this channel. Hopefully itl set them straight.
As much as people are terrified by grizzly bears, black bear territory overlaps human territory more than brown bears. This means there are more interactions with black bears than the Grizzly. There are no brown bears in my area (Southern NJ) but we have coyotes and black bears, with more sightings all the time. I haven't seen a bear in the wild, but as the reports of sightings creep closer to home, I keep a sharp eye out, JUST in case. (The coyotes in my area have a reputation for being big, traveling in larger packs, and and showing less fear of humans.)
As I watch this amazingly well-done TH-cam video I’m seeing scenes from the “Revenant” run through my brain! Thank you for this enjoyable and informative Chanel!
Very interesting episode s love love love scary 🐻 attack's and the growls you snuck in there sorry I missed most of the live chat Atticus Roooooaaaaarrrrrrr 🐻
I think I know what drove the bear killed by the ax to attack, even though there was no real threat to her cubs. I think it's the hormones that drive the mothers nuts to protect their young, not the logic of how much threat the young are under. I had this happen with a dear that had just given birth. She was out to pound me to death and wouldn't let up. I slowly backed down a 1/3 mile down a trail to the trail head, with her attacking every step of the way no matter now non-threatening I made myself (no noise or yelling, just walking slowly backward). She charged me repeatedly and would have knocked me off my feet and given me a real pounding except I had a heavy wooden walking stick. I just put it out in front of me and she rammed herself into it several times. That must have hurt, and I don't know how it didn't really hurt her. It kept her off me (thankfully) but I was astonished at the grief she put herself through and how far she followed me, attacking all the way. She was spotted the next day but had calmed down, probably since the fawn was stronger, up and walking. But I sure set her off the day before, not because I was threatening especially but because I shared the same forest with her and she did not like that. Sometimes mothers just react.
Good point. As a new mother back in 1993, my emotions were aII over the pIace, same with the birth of my 2nd son in 2000. One minute I was happier than ever, the next, tearful and the next, protective to the point I would've destroyed anyone who tried to harm them with my bare hands. 😂 Hormones change drastically after giving birth in humans, the hormones that heIp maintain a pregnancy are replaced with hormones from breastfeeding and hormones that heIp your body to heal and return to normaI. It's a bit of an emotional roIIer coaster even for the most even tempered. So it makes a Iot of sense that animaI mothers couId act totaIIy different from day to day, even hour to hour, depending on whatever circumstances are in pIay with her young. ExceIIent point and one I didn't think of. 👍
Absolutely agree. The deer wasn't even an animal that is known to attack like that. But she was like insane to get rid of me, regardless of what her plowing into my walking stick might have hurt her. I think bear sows would be even more so because of the harm a boar could do to her cubs. Defensive hormones can make for some seriously aggressive mamas. @@metalmamasue3680
@@metalmamasue3680that sounds similar to people who are withdrawing from opiates, strange as that comparison may seem. Your emotions are all over the place. One minute you're laughing, the next minute you're crying your eyes out and then you can get aggressive after that. It's due to the body producing loads of endorphins when someone is addicted actively to opiates. When someone stops taking opiates, their body still produces the same amount of endorphins, which is an amount that's more than the body needs. After a while, the endorphin production goes down to a normal level, which is when the person starts to feel better.
Well look at women. Same thing. Only a lot kill their own babies. So I believe u have something there with hormones!! Premenstraul psychosis is real too!!!!
@@metalmamasue3680 Y'all talk about all this crap related to pregnancy & child birth & emotions. Back in the day, nobody talked about all that. Ppl today are just so emotional & read too much into events that occur.....gimme a break!! 😅
I just can’t believe that anyone or group have do not have a designated chest holstered gun able to kill a bear 🐻. Going out into the wild without a high powdered gun able to kill a bear is just insane . 😊
My blood pressure rises whenever I hear hippie hikers proclaiming they don’t need big scary mean guns in the woods. Their romanticism will get them bloodied.
So happy I found your channel! Well done videos...😊 Ps...as a "human" mama bear...I can tell you that the bond of birth is unfathomable...I still am at the ready to protect my son...even though he's all grown up...❤
The first attack , the black bear was obviously treating the three humans as food or game. But before you think this bear is man eater could have the noise of the drilling have something to do with the attacks other then the obvious of bring a food (humans) source into the bear’s territory. Could the noise of the drilling scared off the bear’s natural food source ? Or could the smells of the human brought the bear to the area?
@metalmamasue3680 Hi Metal Mama Sue, I'm also listening to what I've missed, My weekend is going well. I love the fall-back time change. We get extra time to sleep in. Lol, I hope you're enjoying your weekend 😊
@dianasmith2787 Thanks, It's been a busy few days but good. I Iike the extra hour of sleep, but now it gets dark so early. Oh well, fall & winter don't last forever 😂 I will have plenty of time to get ready for spring gardening. 😊
I prefer winter and the cooler weather myself. I don't function very well in the summer, especially on the really hot days. Sweating profusely and feeling like I'm living in an oven!! I function so much better when summer ends and the weather starts getting cooler. Most people hate the winter but I'm the opposite!! Lol 😂
Can our comments be as vague as your story’s??? When someone is mauled, they don’t necessarily die. Much like leaving out calibers of pistols in your other stories. So Carrol was “mauled to death” not simply mauled. More facts please. If you don’t have more facts, research or don’t tell them.
They all give me shivers. Im sure after it got quiet she went back to her cubs. Maybe some of these 🐻 attacks stem from a previous bad experience that the animal had with a human.
Great stories! This is the first time that I’ve seen these videos. I have read every bear book that’s out there in the past thirty years. You couldn’t pay me enough to go out into the wilderness alone. Not even NOT alone! 🤣 I’m a New Englander who grew up in Ct. and transferred to my job in Vermont. Then I retired to the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia,(near Maryland and Virginia) This area is totally different than the rest of West Virginia. Just watching this last episode which occurred in West Virginia, I was disgusted by those West Virginians who would take a bunch of hounds to go chase a bear until it went up a tree! Leave the wildlife alone! And stop endangering your dogs! Talk about stupid! Hound pursuit of bears should be illegal!
I live in high plains desert at 5000 ft and surprisingly a bear comes almost every year somewhere..a friend was outside smoking unknowingly a bear was on side of her house then neighbors warned her . They can be anywhere but of course more so in woods
It seems so, I think if it was defensive, the bear wouIdn't have waited for her to notice it. Young maIe bIack bears are the most IikeIy to attack predatoriaIIy. Since it wasn't a very Iarge bear, I tend to agree with predatory. Good thing her dogs were around or the outcome may have been much worse.
a bear gets mad at anything in it territory you ,meaning humans aint special they want you gone or dead they arent pets wild is wild untamed pedators aint your friend and your a threat think soft punny or tough as nails who wins?
That’s crazy dealing with bears. I live in San Antonio and all we have to worry about is deer, skunks and armadillos when we walk outside. My wife is terrified of armadillos 😂.
lol that is true. I gotta say a few of these stories really are disturbing beyond measure. Animals usually will attack a weaker or smaller person. I couldn’t imagine having to decide to leave a loved one to get help while they’re getting ripped apart. However, I’m a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment and would most certainly be well armed. I do not understand the mindset of many guns are bad. The best way to stop any type of attack is a good guy with a gun. Our preacher carries a bible and a 44 magnum
The medical care paid by insurance is also better. Just look at Jeremy Evans, before and after surgery, a canadian attack, and compare him to any person seriously mauled in the US. Night and day difference.
If I heard my eyeball pop, or someone else's for that matter, I probably would faint. That bear now has the county assessors office after it for delinquent taxes. Seriously though my hat's off to the medical pros who worked on Allena, they did a great job.
Allena’s story absolutely amazes me. And no, she wouldn’t be here had it not been for her dogs. Dogs are such amazing animals that would’ve gave their own lives happily to save hers. Shes obviously an amazing person inside and out, before and after the day of the attack. I would love to meet both her and her K9s, all 3 are amazing souls.
I’m afraid that for a minute I was rooting for the bear to drag Martin from the tree. The bear was probably defending its first kill when Martin and Carol surprised it and Carol, unprotected and alone, was attacked and killed. Good thing they found the bear and dispatched it.
Although there are black bears here in the Pacific Northwest, your chances of running into a cougar are better. As civilization encroaches more and more into their domain, sightings and attacks are becoming more common. I live along the Columbia River and used to do a lot of hiking in the Columbia River gorge, shooting pictures of the many waterfalls. The trails cut through the hills, so there's plenty of high vantage points for these predators to sit and wait. I always had a backpack filled with my camera gear that I wore high, protecting my neck. I also carried a .357 Magnum Revolver. Thankfully I never had to use it.
Your story telling can lull a girl to sleep. Its a good thing you added in that random growl at 1:12 . It woke me right up. You should just throw those growls in from time to time. 😂. I often listen to these as i drift off to sleep.And i wake up half way through the video and miss alot of details that i sometimes go back to the beginning to listen again. Some of these are down right terryfying. Not sure wht i listen right before i go to sleep.
I am glad to be your sleeptime companion! Several people have said similar things and it always makes me smile. It is nice to know that my voice relaxes people. Adventure bravely!
Well, this channel has done 2 things for me. 1) It made me realize I was not properly prepared on previous treks into the forest/wilderness/ mountains - dare I say naive. 2) I won’t make that mistake ever again, although I’m too old and currently without opportunities anyways to get out. But should I, it would be with a partner, armed with bear spray, gun, and sharp hatchet, and a location transponder.
We're seeing black bears come back into our area, north-eastern Indiana. They were killed off over a century ago. They haven't gone after anyone yet. Unfortunately, many folks seem to think black bears will just run and are completely harmless. I understand they aren't as aggressive and often back down if you hold your own. But they're still bears. Messing with them is still a bad idea. Eventually, someone local will be on this channel.
That last story could have been avoided if the guy hadn't been behaving like a nosy twitt. If I was a bear in the same situation I would have attacked him too! WTH. 😅
Here we go again, thank God Ryans friends had bear spray. The attack was not cut and dry? What exactly does that mean and the bear did try to return but outnumbered, report was biased indeed and could potentially set future attacks by there decision not to destroy the bear!" Excellent analogy on your part , I think its a hunger attack and loggers should have an armed guard for this reason alone.
Growing up in northern Ontario, one rule my mother had was that no matter what we were doing, riding our horses, picking berries or just running around and playing in the bush or pastures, we had to have at least one dog with us at all times. My mother raised St. Bernard dogs and German Shepherd dogs during my childhood. She was strict about this rule. She said that the dogs would not be able to kill the bear but they would instinctively attack and bark at one, giving us time to get away. I also raised my children in rural northern Ontario and I enforced the same rule. If you're venturing off then you must always take at least one dog with you. Those dogs definitely saved her life that day. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
Honestly I think animals have random thoughts and feelings just like we do as humans. Therefore the reasons for attacks are just as various as any humans could be.
I just finished watching another story about Elana. I think it was wild assault. The bear that attacked her was rabid! They did kill it according to the story. How awful for that poor lady and her dogs. She certainly was one tough woman!
Certainly got chills and a bit teary eyed when the words ferocity and power were uttered to describe a mother bears protective nature. My mother saw a grizzly run by the first day she moved to BC well she was pregnant with me thankfully she was safe in a vehicle.
Watching grizzlies run is like watching the water flow. They are so smooth and athletic. To think that they are running toward you is a terrifying thought.
My research showed me that bear spray is not effective enough. i have a hard time understanding why anybody in bear country wouldn't carry a large caliber gun!
@@avelinaosborne32all the propaganda around guns makes us jump thru hoops and is very expensive to own . This has put many in danger. Bear spray imo has the ability to stop an attack but the bears often returns. I totally agree with conserving our precious wildlife but once they become predatory they will continue to attack. Bear stay is often thrown in a back pack as an afterthought. Bears are wicked fast and often the victim does not have time to use bear spray. So carrying both spray and gun and being trained to appropriately use either is ideal. Sadly cartoons have influenced our idea of cute lil teddy bear!
Oh and as for your questions in the first story. Yes black bears could very easily relocate due to grizzly activity. The black Bear obviously considered humans to be a good source. As for the following attack. I believe the answer is both a predatory as well as protecting his kill. As for protection in this situation. I would rely on a firearm over bear spray all the time. In heavy brush using bear spray could in fact incapacitate you instead of the bear. As for this being rare. Well I am not so sure I agree. There have been multiple attacks over the years where a bear decides humans are food. And also protect there kill from other humans that happen upon the kill site. When anyone enters bear country they should be always checking their surroundings. This bear had no issues with taking on two humans. As with other situations where this behavior has taken place I feel is due to population growths which limits their hunting range. I also feel these attacks upon humans because of limited range also pushes bears into more populated areas which humans frequent. This will change the bears behavior by taking away their natural fear of humans. Especially where humans are taking away habitat in order to build homes. We are actually moving into the bears territory. It is not uncommon to see bears such as grizzlies prey upon black bears. Bear populations are growing as well as the human population. We are on a doomed path where one or the other have to give. Unfortunately it is usually the bear that loses in this situation.
Thanks!
Thank you very much, James! Your generosity is much appreciated, my friend. Adventure bravely!
Bears are absolutely terrifying creatures!!
humans are worse
They are. Every corner of the planet has apex predators. Salties, gators, lions, cougars,wolves, coyotes, tigers, various sharks... Anywhere you are, there are apex predators. If you ever get a creepy feeling, listen to it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I feel sheepish for putting coyotes in here... But a female jogger on a park jogging trail in Nova Scotia was killed by one or more coyotes. Even coyotes can kill an unprepared person.

First story - predatory black - Alaskan here who’s studied both black and brown, and black bears have shown an usual propensity to predatory attacks. I am extremely careful of them around SE where I live. We have a den behind our house and the bears including families of them use our 120 stairs to our garage for their own movement so I usually call down to ensure they haven’t seen any activity before I head out. We have a large black male in the area right now. Just be careful, everyone. Love your stories, Addicus!
You be safe too 👍😊
I spent 8 years working in a remote camp at bistcho lake, north west of Zama city. My understanding was trouble bears from jasper national park get moved to this area. I had quite a few meetings with bears in the area. Most were skittish and ran away from my quad or chopper. A few came right to the camp and through the bear fence behind camp. Bear baiting on my leases was also something I had to be aware of.
I also never saw a single Brown bear. Alot of wolves and lynx, a few wolverines but no cougars or grizzlies.
I am a little surprised any bears were relocated to an area where there is known bear baiting.
We usually relocate any problem animals well outside of an area known to be areas where human interactions could occur. But here in Ak it is pretty hard to keep everyone safe of course. And sometimes I have to explain the range of some of these bears.
Curious about your bear proof fencing... UDAP or Electrofence? Perma net?
Reason I ask is because we do run into folks of course wanting to know which one works best. Usually we suggest Electrofence. But I hear UDAP is pretty good as well. Do you run a bear fence annually? If so any suggestions I could pass along would be deeply appreciated.
Being it is your property I take it you are also a guide? You do not have to answer but I assure you it is just a question because of your statement. I am always interested with what a guide has to say or even a land owner or lease .
The information I gather is more that can be added to experience for my job. Different terrain and food sources are a huge part of understanding bear activity.
Thank you in advance.
Quite often you will not see a brown. But I would look for signs of activity in your area anyways.
One of the main reasons I landed this position years ago was my ability to track even in a bad weather situation.. As you know weather can be unforgiving but understanding the animal your are tracking habits you can usually pick up the trail again.
One of the pucker moments I have had working with large and toothy critters was actually on Kodiak.
It is astonishing that while we were or I was tracking we being as quiet as humanly possible were unable to move in relative silence. But I noticed the tracks, stride and path the bear had all the sudden changed I knew we had alerted this boar and being the kind teddy bears they are circled in behind us and was actively stalking us. As we entered an open field I started to watch my 6. And sure enough there he was. The bears in Kodiak are actually good size animals as you I am sure know. But surprisingly he moved in behind us and we did NOT hear a sound. We actually later on started calling him a tactically efficient fur ball.
I have had other close calls but nothing like that one in Kodiak.
I have been involved in a few recovery situations where humans were involved in a predatory or territory attack. I have also been on scene of 2 sows protecting their cubs .
What I try to tell people is to leave an area when they see a bear especially a sow with cubs. I am also asked what is a safe distance. I usually throw in a crack shot and say to remain safe leave the state. No one ever finds that very funny.... But when I explain how fast q bear can close the distance from 40 , 70 and 100 yards they look at me as if I am making stuff up. At 40 yards you would barely have enough time to grab your canister of bear spray. Bears especially ones that wish to render what they consider a threat charge you , most of the time shock sets in. Fear follows and clumsy hands are doing their best to take action.
I am also asked what I think about bear spray. I personally do not like it for a few reasons. The distance from you to the bear before the spray is effective. Also in stressful situations you will not take the time to notice if you are spraying into the wind or you have bushes or tree with low hanging branches or anything that can deflect the bear spray back upon you. And if you happen to take a hit from that very bear spray you now are the one trying to recover from the effects. Which of course usually works out for the bear..
Like many here I carry a Glock G20 and a rifle or shotgun. The people I work with use a tranq. But if a bear is too close and charging at full speed even if you have to shoot them they can still follow through at hit you rather hard. A 10mm like the Glock I carry has 15 rounds and when you are in your back that pistol is your only lifeline..
Before anyone thinks poorly about this statement. I will tell you my number one priority is to keep humans as well as animals safe. I have had to shoot one bear and I live with that to this very day. I truly hate that I had to do this.
Anyway look at me rambling on like a madman. Haha.
SO sorry, Alaina! Thanking God, you survived this attack and for your hero doggies! How AWFUL BLUE CROSS INSURANCE IS!!!!!
Thanks Addicus! Absolutely well detailed narration of these attacks. I think you can completely be ready being bear aware with gun, bear spray, knife, ax and Garmin but when you got an attacking CLOSE mad bear you still have only a small chance to survive! So if you go in their home BE SAFE and pray! PS you are right these attacks do give me Shivers!! 😊
Bears: another dangerous af animal, we don't have in Australia
yall got snakes though deadly ones ours will kill you but its rare mostly make you sick only
I liked this episode, so i clicked the like button ^,^
You are a great narrator. Love your stories. Bears scare me. Their size and weight are no match for humans without bear spray or guns
Thank you 💛 so much Atticus !!! I absolutely love all these true stories about Scary Bear 🐻 Attacks. These stories were amazing!
You are so welcome!
After moving from Montreal, Canada with my small family, I lived for 6 years in Whitehorse, Yukon back in the late 1900’s, in blissful ignorance of the dangers inherent in sharing the land with the local wildlife. By the grace of God, we survived unharmed and enjoyed the experience immensely. But now, watching videos such as this series, it makes me very aware of the consequences we had been unknowingly risking all along through our lackadaisical attitude. Worse, it makes me realize that even the locals (the aboriginal native people excepted), were almost just as badly lackadaisical.
All this to say, it strikes me that local authorities and/or employers at least in northerly areas ought to give serious thought to raising awareness of these things amongst the population.
They do make people aware, some folks think it won't happen to them, some don't think at all. What more do you suggest be done for awareness?.
@@JK-lp6uw The "awareness-making" part was thoroughly absent, during my 6 years in the Yukon. But that was in the 1970’s to 1980’s; maybe it’s changed since then. Yet somehow, I doubt it. There are always higher priorities - until one happens to be the victim.
What more should be done? Well, I’m no expert; but I propose there are better ways than suggesting that folks carry a tin can with ball bearings, to scare away grizzlies in the wild. (In my time, these trinkets were offered in some shops on Main St in Whitehorse. No kidding. Probably in nearby Skagway and Haines, Alaska, too.)
Not having that 10mm in your hand after round one of that attack, knowing mama bears always circle back, is a bad decision..
Bro that's what I said there is no way I would not have had my gun out and ready top pop and will pop
@@sickdan.b.v.p6910 Prey animals like deer will circle back to evade, Bears circle back to kill or mama bears to make sure the threat is neutralized..That's sad he wasn't ready with his Iron..But, killing a grizzly with a 10 mm takes some skill and nerves, I would have been about ten feet up in a tree, locked and loaded..
Great stories as always. Can't wait till the next one. You have such the perfect voice and tone for telling them. Thanks for giving me some suspense. 🐻
Perfect before bed. I mean that in the best way.
@@Joe-d3t1tright? I often put on scary bear attacks. Found a great profound respect for those furry creatures. I often worry for my brothers. One works on the highways in the summer. He was way in the thick of bear country. And my other one loves to go cycling and also mushroom picking in the thick woods of B.C. Me being the doting sister I can't help but ask them to be careful and aware of their surroundings. They always tell me I've been doing this along time sis. I'll be ok.These are Infact Scary bear attacks. I'll tell them about this channel. Hopefully itl set them straight.
As much as people are terrified by grizzly bears, black bear territory overlaps human territory more than brown bears. This means there are more interactions with black bears than the Grizzly. There are no brown bears in my area (Southern NJ) but we have coyotes and black bears, with more sightings all the time. I haven't seen a bear in the wild, but as the reports of sightings creep closer to home, I keep a sharp eye out, JUST in case. (The coyotes in my area have a reputation for being big, traveling in larger packs, and and showing less fear of humans.)
As I watch this amazingly well-done TH-cam video I’m seeing scenes from the “Revenant” run through my brain! Thank you for this enjoyable and informative Chanel!
Being a avid outdoors man your show is a must watch for understanding the world we live in
Very interesting episode s love love love scary 🐻 attack's and the growls you snuck in there sorry I missed most of the live chat Atticus Roooooaaaaarrrrrrr 🐻
I think I know what drove the bear killed by the ax to attack, even though there was no real threat to her cubs. I think it's the hormones that drive the mothers nuts to protect their young, not the logic of how much threat the young are under. I had this happen with a dear that had just given birth. She was out to pound me to death and wouldn't let up. I slowly backed down a 1/3 mile down a trail to the trail head, with her attacking every step of the way no matter now non-threatening I made myself (no noise or yelling, just walking slowly backward). She charged me repeatedly and would have knocked me off my feet and given me a real pounding except I had a heavy wooden walking stick. I just put it out in front of me and she rammed herself into it several times. That must have hurt, and I don't know how it didn't really hurt her. It kept her off me (thankfully) but I was astonished at the grief she put herself through and how far she followed me, attacking all the way.
She was spotted the next day but had calmed down, probably since the fawn was stronger, up and walking. But I sure set her off the day before, not because I was threatening especially but because I shared the same forest with her and she did not like that. Sometimes mothers just react.
Good point. As a new mother back in 1993, my emotions were aII over the pIace, same with the birth of my 2nd son in 2000. One minute I was happier than ever, the next, tearful and the next, protective to the point I would've destroyed anyone who tried to harm them with my bare hands. 😂 Hormones change drastically after giving birth in humans, the hormones that heIp maintain a pregnancy are replaced with hormones from breastfeeding and hormones that heIp your body to heal and return to normaI. It's a bit of an emotional roIIer coaster even for the most even tempered.
So it makes a Iot of sense that animaI mothers couId act totaIIy different from day to day, even hour to hour, depending on whatever circumstances are in pIay with her young.
ExceIIent point and one I didn't think of. 👍
Absolutely agree. The deer wasn't even an animal that is known to attack like that. But she was like insane to get rid of me, regardless of what her plowing into my walking stick might have hurt her. I think bear sows would be even more so because of the harm a boar could do to her cubs. Defensive hormones can make for some seriously aggressive mamas. @@metalmamasue3680
@@metalmamasue3680that sounds similar to people who are withdrawing from opiates, strange as that comparison may seem. Your emotions are all over the place. One minute you're laughing, the next minute you're crying your eyes out and then you can get aggressive after that. It's due to the body producing loads of endorphins when someone is addicted actively to opiates. When someone stops taking opiates, their body still produces the same amount of endorphins, which is an amount that's more than the body needs. After a while, the endorphin production goes down to a normal level, which is when the person starts to feel better.
Well look at women. Same thing. Only a lot kill their own babies. So I believe u have something there with hormones!! Premenstraul psychosis is real too!!!!
@@metalmamasue3680 Y'all talk about all this crap related to pregnancy & child birth & emotions. Back in the day, nobody talked about all that. Ppl today are just so emotional & read too much into events that occur.....gimme a break!! 😅
Cracks me up that people think that they know what a bear is thinking. I’m always on the bears side. It’s their home so stay out.
I worked for Cantex in 2002! Cool to watch video's I can relate too!
I just can’t believe that anyone or group have do not have a designated chest holstered gun able to kill a bear 🐻. Going out into the wild without a high powdered gun able to kill a bear is just insane . 😊
Most suffer from low IQ
Or least a good knife something to grab and help protect yourself. Seems like a knife hatchet and big caliber rifle would be a minium
Or... ready
STAY OUT OF THEIR FUCKING TERRITORY
My blood pressure rises whenever I hear hippie hikers proclaiming they don’t need big scary mean guns in the woods. Their romanticism will get them bloodied.
Pre-Columbian Native Americans did it all their (short) lives. Chain-mail coveralls and a motorcycle helmet for me.
So happy I found your channel! Well done videos...😊 Ps...as a "human" mama bear...I can tell you that the bond of birth is unfathomable...I still am at the ready to protect my son...even though he's all grown up...❤
my favorite TH-cam channel
The first attack , the black bear was obviously treating the three humans as food or game. But before you think this bear is man eater could have the noise of the drilling have something to do with the attacks other then the obvious of bring a food (humans) source into the bear’s territory. Could the noise of the drilling scared off the bear’s natural food source ? Or could the smells of the human brought the bear to the area?
Oh no!! I missed the live! I love me some "Scary Bear Attack " stories. ❤ Thank you so much, Atticus! Another great bear attack stories. ROAR!!!!
Me too, I just caught the last 20 min or so. I'm back to the beginning listening to what I missed 😂 hope you're having a good weekend Diana 😊👋
@metalmamasue3680 Hi Metal Mama Sue, I'm also listening to what I've missed, My weekend is going well. I love the fall-back time change. We get extra time to sleep in. Lol, I hope you're enjoying your weekend 😊
@dianasmith2787 Thanks, It's been a busy few days but good. I Iike the extra hour of sleep, but now it gets dark so early.
Oh well, fall & winter don't last forever 😂 I will have plenty of time to get ready for spring gardening. 😊
I prefer winter and the cooler weather myself. I don't function very well in the summer, especially on the really hot days. Sweating profusely and feeling like I'm living in an oven!! I function so much better when summer ends and the weather starts getting cooler. Most people hate the winter but I'm the opposite!! Lol 😂
Can our comments be as vague as your story’s??? When someone is mauled, they don’t necessarily die. Much like leaving out calibers of pistols in your other stories. So Carrol was “mauled to death” not simply mauled. More facts please. If you don’t have more facts, research or don’t tell them.
Thanks for the video, SCARY BEAR ATTACKS
The safest place to visit bears in North America are Chicago’s Soldier Field. There the bears are slow and dumb but funny 🤣 to watch.
Ouch! That really hurt!
They all give me shivers. Im sure after it got quiet she went back to her cubs. Maybe some of these 🐻 attacks stem from a previous bad experience that the animal had with a human.
First story.....Protecting his cached food supply..... Great Narration, SBA!
Great stories! This is the first time that I’ve seen these videos. I have read every bear book that’s out there in the past thirty years. You couldn’t pay me enough to go out into the wilderness alone. Not even NOT alone! 🤣 I’m a New Englander who grew up in Ct. and transferred to my job in Vermont. Then I retired to the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia,(near Maryland and Virginia) This area is totally different than the rest of West Virginia. Just watching this last episode which occurred in West Virginia, I was disgusted by those West Virginians who would take a bunch of hounds to go chase a bear until it went up a tree! Leave the wildlife alone! And stop endangering your dogs! Talk about stupid! Hound pursuit of bears should be illegal!
I don’t think I could NOT make a sound as a bear was biting me🫣 I would be so terrified. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I live in high plains desert at 5000 ft and surprisingly a bear comes almost every year somewhere..a friend was outside smoking unknowingly a bear was on side of her house then neighbors warned her . They can be anywhere but of course more so in woods
Elena's attack was predatory , and methodical.
It seems so, I think if it was defensive, the bear wouIdn't have waited for her to notice it. Young maIe bIack bears are the most IikeIy to attack predatoriaIIy. Since it wasn't a very Iarge bear, I tend to agree with predatory. Good thing her dogs were around or the outcome may have been much worse.
Agreed. I don't think she would have had any chance of survival if her dogs weren't there. The bear was looking to eat her, of that I have no doubt.
a bear gets mad at anything in it territory you ,meaning humans aint special they want you gone or dead they arent pets wild is wild untamed pedators aint your friend and your a threat think soft punny or tough as nails who wins?
That’s crazy dealing with bears. I live in San Antonio and all we have to worry about is deer, skunks and armadillos when we walk outside. My wife is terrified of armadillos 😂.
The first story on the predatory black bear proves the old adage, “I don’t have to be faster than the bear, just faster than my hiking companion.”
What if you are alone? ?????? 😧
@@scarybearattacks then you’d better be faster than the bear
lol that is true. I gotta say a few of these stories really are disturbing beyond measure. Animals usually will attack a weaker or smaller person. I couldn’t imagine having to decide to leave a loved one to get help while they’re getting ripped apart. However, I’m a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment and would most certainly be well armed. I do not understand the mindset of many guns are bad. The best way to stop any type of attack is a good guy with a gun. Our preacher carries a bible and a 44 magnum
When I lived in Ontario Canada nearly every other week someone was killed by a black bear and mostly by male bears. It was scary.
Just looking at that banner photo gives me the grues! 😱
Alana and her dogs are amazing ❤
Lesson to learn here...if you're going to be attacked by a bear, make sure it's in Canada, cause American insurance companies will gouge you.
The medical care paid by insurance is also better. Just look at Jeremy Evans, before and after surgery, a canadian attack, and compare him to any person seriously mauled in the US. Night and day difference.
W H Y !!!! Do you take SOOO LONG to get to the STORY. WHO GIVES A 💩 ABOUT THE HEMLOCK TREES JUST TELL THE DAM STORY WOULD YOU PLEASE 🤔🤨🧐😱
ER visits are covered under my insurance
@brianshepard653 Luigi doesn't care.
If I heard my eyeball pop, or someone else's for that matter, I probably would faint. That bear now has the county assessors office after it for delinquent taxes. Seriously though my hat's off to the medical pros who worked on Allena, they did a great job.
Wow. Narrator is amazing AI.
Allena’s story absolutely amazes me. And no, she wouldn’t be here had it not been for her dogs. Dogs are such amazing animals that would’ve gave their own lives happily to save hers. Shes obviously an amazing person inside and out, before and after the day of the attack. I would love to meet both her and her K9s, all 3 are amazing souls.
I don’t understand. What makes anyone think that a grizzly bear can’t wonder back in to Colorado or anywhere else for that matter
The being mauled by the bear then being mauled by blue cross cracked me up! She's strong for that!
I’m afraid that for a minute I was rooting for the bear to drag Martin from the tree. The bear was probably defending its first kill when Martin and Carol surprised it and Carol, unprotected and alone, was attacked and killed. Good thing they found the bear and dispatched it.
Phil thinks it's "fun" to set a huge pack of hounds out to terrorize a bear, I'm speechless.
Allena , Beautiful story!
Although there are black bears here in the Pacific Northwest, your chances of running into a cougar are better.
As civilization encroaches more and more into their domain, sightings and attacks are becoming more common. I live along the Columbia River and used to do a lot of hiking in the Columbia River gorge, shooting pictures of the many waterfalls.
The trails cut through the hills, so there's plenty of high vantage points for these predators to sit and wait.
I always had a backpack filled with my camera gear that I wore high, protecting my neck.
I also carried a .357 Magnum Revolver.
Thankfully I never had to use it.
Nobody can determine what is going on in a wild animals mind !
Your story telling can lull a girl to sleep. Its a good thing you added in that random growl at 1:12 . It woke me right up. You should just throw those growls in from time to time. 😂. I often listen to these as i drift off to sleep.And i wake up half way through the video and miss alot of details that i sometimes go back to the beginning to listen again. Some of these are down right terryfying. Not sure wht i listen right before i go to sleep.
I am glad to be your sleeptime companion! Several people have said similar things and it always makes me smile. It is nice to know that my voice relaxes people. Adventure bravely!
The good old boys tracking had a good attitude about a fair fight with a bear. Chasing them around with dogs is definitely good bear attack deterrent.
Well, this channel has done 2 things for me. 1) It made me realize I was not properly prepared on previous treks into the forest/wilderness/ mountains - dare I say naive. 2) I won’t make that mistake ever again, although I’m too old and currently without opportunities anyways to get out. But should I, it would be with a partner, armed with bear spray, gun, and sharp hatchet, and a location transponder.
I wish you much more adventure and happiness!
@@MeganJohnson-gp6ug thank you
Wow i didnt know there was a job titled "trail engineer" thats awesome.
Dream job list?
I mean every bear attack gives me shivers😂
Good stories though. And great narration. 😊
Last time I was this early I told her she’s just really pretty and that this never happens
And she probabIy didn't beIieve you anyhow 😂😂
You had no right to make me choke on my water, SIR.
You speak to your hand?
We're seeing black bears come back into our area, north-eastern Indiana. They were killed off over a century ago. They haven't gone after anyone yet. Unfortunately, many folks seem to think black bears will just run and are completely harmless. I understand they aren't as aggressive and often back down if you hold your own. But they're still bears. Messing with them is still a bad idea. Eventually, someone local will be on this channel.
The Montana attack, the guy is tough and I think she would do anything to protect her cubs so I think she attacked him again
She's got the right attitude for life❤❤❤ three hearts for you girl
That first story Martin isn’t very much of a man he just left his “friend” to die. What a cowardly move!
@@davevargas360 and you would be the courageous one? Oh please… 🙄
I would run also. Most people that try to help the other person just end up getting mauled themselves. The bears can kill many people in a few minutes
😒…so, you’re “That” guy huh? Lol smh
Sometimes, you have to...if you want to see your children again.
@@davevargas360 so you're going to make the bear 🐻 stop???????
Instead of one getting killed it would have been 2 dead.
Wow, some major tough guys in this vid, awesome! ❤
“Freedom units!” 😂😂
Sending love to all involved in each story ❤.
34:02 Alex made the bear plot its revenge 😂😅 Edit: poor cubbies 😢
That last story could have been avoided if the guy hadn't been behaving like a nosy twitt. If I was a bear in the same situation I would have attacked him too! WTH. 😅
I didn't know that about the boars, thanks, interesting.
Here we go again, thank God Ryans friends had bear spray. The attack was not cut and dry? What exactly does that mean and the bear did try to return but outnumbered, report was biased indeed and could potentially set future attacks by there decision not to destroy the bear!" Excellent analogy on your part , I think its a hunger attack and loggers should have an armed guard for this reason alone.
Growing up in northern Ontario, one rule my mother had was that no matter what we were doing, riding our horses, picking berries or just running around and playing in the bush or pastures, we had to have at least one dog with us at all times. My mother raised St. Bernard dogs and German Shepherd dogs during my childhood. She was strict about this rule. She said that the dogs would not be able to kill the bear but they would instinctively attack and bark at one, giving us time to get away. I also raised my children in rural northern Ontario and I enforced the same rule. If you're venturing off then you must always take at least one dog with you.
Those dogs definitely saved her life that day.
❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
The guy who surprised the bear in the den, I’m glad he’s ok and I sincerely hope the cub survived. I hate when the innocents are harmed. 😢
In those areas, always have a big sidearm holstered and know how to use it quickly and effectively.
I love scary bear attacks
Thank you, my friend!
Have you ever contacted attack survivors for an interview?
Good idea
Great adventure dang.
Aw I made it ✌️ thank you
Great job!
Watching from the US
I feel definitely Elenas attack 🐻 was predatory
Honestly I think animals have random thoughts and feelings just like we do as humans. Therefore the reasons for attacks are just as various as any humans could be.
77
Kinda think it's mostly defense of cubs or territory and food
Totally agree 💯 she's one of the most beautiful 💕 lady
I just finished watching another story about Elana. I think it was wild assault. The bear that attacked her was rabid! They did kill it according to the story. How awful for that poor lady and her dogs. She certainly was one tough woman!
Can’t find the pics of Alana on patreon
Certainly got chills and a bit teary eyed when the words ferocity and power were uttered to describe a mother bears protective nature.
My mother saw a grizzly run by the first day she moved to BC well she was pregnant with me thankfully she was safe in a vehicle.
Watching grizzlies run is like watching the water flow. They are so smooth and athletic. To think that they are running toward you is a terrifying thought.
My research showed me that bear spray is not effective enough. i have a hard time understanding why anybody in bear country wouldn't carry a large caliber gun!
Not just carrying a gun but having it in hand and being psyc ready to use it.
@@avelinaosborne32all the propaganda around guns makes us jump thru hoops and is very expensive to own . This has put many in danger. Bear spray imo has the ability to stop an attack but the bears often returns. I totally agree with conserving our precious wildlife but once they become predatory they will continue to attack. Bear stay is often thrown in a back pack as an afterthought. Bears are wicked fast and often the victim does not have time to use bear spray. So carrying both spray and gun and being trained to appropriately use either is ideal. Sadly cartoons have influenced our idea of cute lil teddy bear!
Elena is SO beautiful!! God bless and thank God for her. Dogs are wonderful!!
Great video
Thank u for giving us your storing my name is katy i would like to go out camping and just get to see everything take care
Thank you Katy and GO CAMPING! Enjoy yourself and don't let any of these episodes scare you away from enjoying the outdoors!
Oh and as for your questions in the first story. Yes black bears could very easily relocate due to grizzly activity. The black Bear obviously considered humans to be a good source. As for the following attack. I believe the answer is both a predatory as well as protecting his kill.
As for protection in this situation. I would rely on a firearm over bear spray all the time. In heavy brush using bear spray could in fact incapacitate you instead of the bear. As for this being rare. Well I am not so sure I agree. There have been multiple attacks over the years where a bear decides humans are food. And also protect there kill from other humans that happen upon the kill site.
When anyone enters bear country they should be always checking their surroundings. This bear had no issues with taking on two humans. As with other situations where this behavior has taken place I feel is due to population growths which limits their hunting range.
I also feel these attacks upon humans because of limited range also pushes bears into more populated areas which humans frequent. This will change the bears behavior by taking away their natural fear of humans. Especially where humans are taking away habitat in order to build homes. We are actually moving into the bears territory. It is not uncommon to see bears such as grizzlies prey upon black bears.
Bear populations are growing as well as the human population. We are on a doomed path where one or the other have to give. Unfortunately it is usually the bear that loses in this situation.
With a appropriate handgun ID say there is always a chance in my opinion. I may be way off base but that's my thoughts.
