Just watched your bear story with w. Va. I was mauled by a mother grizz four years ago. She had two cubs and had claimed my elk during the night. After thirty years of hunting in wyoming grizzly country i got complacent. Seen lots of grizz never had a problem. At fifty nine yrs age i didnt want extra weight to handle while hauling 150 lbs of meat over two miles back to camp. On my back. No gun, no spray. Separated from my hunting buddies, carrying only a deboning knife. I survived to carry my face in my pocket climbed into deadfall to await help. Lots of stupid comments from folks that dont know about bears. Door knob is right! To stop a charging grizzly is nearly impossible. Nice videos great stories. Keep em coming. I subscribed!
If a guy makes a bad shot and wounds a bear it sucks but it happens. But when they run off and don’t listen and then make a bad shot that a whole different level of pissed off
No s*** you wanted to be the big man takes a shot now hero you go find his ass and finish him off. I'll be listening for the scream so let everybody know what happen. So I'm f****** people shouldn't have a gun. How's that saying go you can't fix stupid.
It's about 5 a.m. I've been listening to your stories most of the night have to get up at 8 very tired but not tired of listening to your story just tired in general, so glad I found your Channel
Michael Jordan , Whats the matter pussey? Got no balls? Happy there under mommies bed in your "safe place". No guts to go face the REAL WORLD. Self righteous judgemental ass who thinks the whole world should revolve around your ball less attitude. Get a LIFE & in the meantime, just STFU!!
Deb long , Sure they do. Just in different styles. Some folks hunt in grocery stores where they pay others to do their killing/butchering for them. And the more HONEST hunters do it w weapons. So dont go supporting all the "holier than thou" bunch that condems the honest ones. EVERYONE is a hunter one way or another. Even self righteous vegans. Kirleain photography has proven even plants "scream" when being harvested/eatin. Shows as electrical patterns. Its the smug self righteous folks who try to play they're better. They're just hypocrites who live in na na land of denial. The reality is this. Something has to die so that other things can live. It ALL cycles around in one form or another. Called "The cycle of life" & its what keeps this old world working.
Deb long , Eat them, make trappers hats from their furs & have their skulls mounted over my cabin door to greet visitors. Trick to bear meat is slow cook em w half an onion for a day. Throw out the old water/onion & repeat another day. By day 3 the "gamey" taste is gone. Strip it out, add Barbeque sauce & glaze it into the meat. Food for the Gods. Very similar to pork BBQ. BTW, dipshit started it by condeming hunters. Just another citiot hypocrite.....
With respect I disagree with your opinions. I'm 72 years of age and began hunting in the woods of CT at age 13. I lived in the bush of Alaska for three months and have traveled in the wilderness of 45 countries. I'm ex- military and a Vietnam vet. My experience tells me never be in grizzly bear country without a 50 caliber pistol at all times. Especially while hunting along with a high powered rifle with a scope. As you know all rifles can jam or malfunction. While trekking through heavy brush and if surprised by a predator, a long rifle barrel can get hung up in brush making it impossible to aim; whereas if you have a pistol as a backup you can protect yourself, the guide and friends! Also a preditor could knock the rifle out of your hands. It can be dropped and out of reach while resting or sleeping. Again, it's wise to have a backup pistol. I was disturbed to hear you say you're not a bodyguard to your paying clients. Humans with a soul and that are not mentally disordered protect each other because they care and I have a conscience. To take a client's money hunting and not carry weapons, in my opinion is being foolish and incompetent. And a target for broke, hungry thieves!
James Peck I agree with you 100% !!! .. I'm a veteran as well, during our first terrorist attack I always remembered, we must stick together we must protect one another and no one's left behind!!! .. That was our code. .. it seems like so long ago, .. thanks for the reminder!
Like he said several times it's not legal to carry a handgun in the Canadian bush. Usually if you have a hunter that has any experience and he is carrying a rifle that would easily kill a bear that would be enough unless a one in a million chance of bullshit happened. Maybe you would act differently but he also said that he usually had a rifle with him and only this time did not.
@@dannygroves6764 Hmmmmm.......... Maybe that's one reason there are so many mature and aggressive grizzlies in that particular area ! ps - military family members. = Most carry ( legally !) .......those 2 legged grizzlies in our area can be pretty dangerous too!
Yes Carol Martin that definitely could be why there are so many mature grizzlies in that area. And you are right Carol, the two legged suckers are the worst by far. I think maybe we could work something out to keep you nice and safe honey, and warm too.
I thank you for all you do bringing the stories to us. I used to hunt a lot when I was young too almost like you describe yourself in your youth. I took a different path to prove my manhood, or I thought I had chosen one enlisting. It's all good through that one day as you have described when it all goes against you. I can tell by your manner and bearing that you are the real deal. So when I hear you speak I know I'm hearing the truth. Or as close to the truth is any man can relay. Your stories take me back to a time when I too was that guy, young and vital, full of vim and vigor or as my grandfather used to say full of piss and vinegar. Your stories help me in ways you could never imagine. I am again alive when I hear you recount your experiences. Like I said I can tell when a man tells the truth. I thank you very much for all you do
Love you hunting stories , not quite on the sasquatch thing I've been hunting throughout Ak Canada, north America and never encountered a Sasquatch , needless to.say I am a non believer that they exist ,too many hunters and photo opps with no real proof they are real ,but your hunt storys are very much like mine ,even the cussing , keep it up your fantastic with it.

Not for nothin but man you gotta sue Mr. Clean.....they are using your spitting image as the new Mr. Clean......okay so now for the reason for this post....I have hunted for 45+ years and you are cut from the cloth all great hunters are cut from......every dad in this country and Canada should send their kid to spend a season with you....,would do the world a lot of good.....keep up the great work....,.
Man i love this channel. its like having my Grandad read old Outdoor Life stories to me again like he did when i was a Kid. Thanks man, keep up the good work, this is great!
My experience as a guide is very limited....one season.....I could not handle how entitled clients (most from NY and that area) were.....as a result....both clients and myself suffered, yet I also had a few that I will never forget, and I am confident that those had the experience that they were seeking.....#1 being a retired Security Guard from Oklahoma City, OK..w/ severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and impending total immobility....getting a 6'8" Black Bear.....what a rush....yet the most memorable is a GM plant worker who would not leave camp in the rain.....and vowed to sue the State for not having guard rails in a mtn. road.....and this was the same type mentality that got your friend chewed up. Knowledge is not much protection against stupidity I can attest. Thanks for your take.
When I go out in the wilderness I carry a gun because of the other people I might run into. It just helps keep people safe and rational. I’ve been a victim of violent crimes but never been attacked by nature. Just sayin.
Tachypsychia is the term for distortion of time associated with adrenaline response or duress. I've seen dozens of black bears but only a couple grizzlies, and it is an awesome experience. Men aren't used to being with other apex predators and it is sobering to know you aren't alone at the top of the food chain. Respect those animals and give them as much distance as possible, because they are explosively fast when motivated.
We aren't at the top of the food chain...not really anyways, if you take away the guns, pretty much everything out there can kill us with ease, and they don't need weapons
Robert Boren: SO true. When we hunt we often feel our hearts pounding in so many different types of emotions all at once! I used to be a very avid pheasant and ruffed grouse hunter The rush you feel when you hear those wings flapping away from you can cause the wrong person to accidentally hurt someone else if they are hunting in a group because you react before you actually think. It's that fluttering of those wings that made me the somewhat quick shot with a rifle or shotgun that I am today. I still try to hunt even though I can;t get around very well now due to a bad crash I was in 10 years ago that damaged my lower spine and hips, and legs, and nervous system but I am working towards doing a wild boar hunt from a blind this year...probably in Kentucky or Pennsylvania. I live in north east Ohio so it's not too long a drive to eastern PA but it's over 10 hours one way to southern Kentucky where my uncle lives. BUT... I'm looking forward to the hunt and to fill my freezer with pork for the year. :)
@@kingsoren2010 Yep...up to 40 miles per hour for a big dominant male in the 1500 pound range! Just imagine carrying all that weight and running that fast. The Siberian Kodiaks get the biggest on average and are something else to watch in the wild but Alaskan Kodiaks get almost as big and they have their range of dominance. The other bears will move out of his way when they smell him coming or they sense his presence. And when they fight its usually to the death or until one backs down and outrun the bigger one.
Love those stories, Steve, which you tell so well.You have probably unknowingly saved lives, human and bear, by helping people understand and respect bears and to hunt responsibly. I'm sorry that you've been criticized for not carrying a sidearm, etc., and I respect what you had to say on the subject. If I ever were to go hunting (which I'm too chicken to do), I certainly would insist on a guide as experienced and as responsible as yourself.
Man Brother I hear ya. I have guided for many years in Colorado for Big Game. Elk, Deer, Black Bear, Sheep. Well back in 2016 I moved to Cody Wyoming. East side of Yellowstone. Never had to contend with mountain Grizzly til I moved here. Have had hundreds of encounters with Grizzly"s here but two went extremely WRONG!! not threw hunter error like you are talking about but because of coming onto kills that we didn't know about that the bears were on. Both EXTREME encounters that cost bears their lives that were not the primary game we were after in the thorofare range of Shashoni Natl Forest. Literally the most isolated spot in the lower 48.All on horses. It happens in the blink of an eye. Brown lightning is SPOT ON!! 45-70 is the only saving grace and nothing more than gut instinct like you talk about is what saved lives. No time to think. REACT. Period. Its not about how big your balls are its being able to pull them back out after they were sucked up your ass by primal fear to the 10th power. I carry a 454 but for my safety, not the dumb asses we cater to, Don't get me wrong. I have had many spectacular experiences in the high country with hunters but HUNTERS are not all created equal. Money can't buy common sense. . Love your stories. Think what you do is fantastic. Would love to share more down the road. Peace!!

I have recurring nightmares about grizzlies since childhood, I'm now 68 and still dreaming them. So I've been watching and studying reports of grizzly behavior. You never know when it could save a life.....BUT IT STILL SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME😖 Thank you for the education!
yah, I grew up in colorado rockies, in the 60s most of the predators had been hunted out. so I was more concerned with falling down a mineshaft. then that movie "night of the grizzly" came out and put the fear in me. followed by "true west magazine" publishing an article about ole mose. ever since I dont go into a tree line without a buddy and a firearm. nature dont forgive.
I hope and im sure you do realize how special and incredible the way you live your life is sir. You get to enjoy and experience AMAAAZING things each year, each day!!! Stay safe and please continue sharing. We love it!!!
Tachypsychia is the medical term for the perception of time slowing down, in reality it is the result of a adrenaline dump which ampes up your neurons. Same thing happens in combat to my Marines. In my humble understanding, I'm just a FMF Corpsman, not a Neurologist. But what a great story.
Yes the story kind of emphasizes that having a gun can save your life under these circumstances.... I understand it doesn't always save your life, But especially guides who are so experienced, have a better chance of shooting and killing a bear that's attacking than an average person
Great Story. Don't go chasing after any injured Bears,especially if it's a Grizzly! Polar Bears and the Kodiacs as well as any other subspecies of Brown Bear are better off left to their own devices. You are definitely crazy for not carrying a large cal.revolver on you while in bear country,or Cougar country either one. That's your only last hope to never have your own story about being savaged by a bear if things go wrong. I'd much rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it. Some beasts just don't play around with a man.
I totally love your hunt story's I am sixty two years old and I have been a hunter all my life and i have quite a few hunt story's my self but l had something to share with you and friend and I where hunting in southern Utah and was in very thick timber and seen something i can't say what it was but it was huge light brown hair and stood on two legs my friend said let's get out of here so we did haven't talked about it because people think i am crazy anyhow but my friend would never go back in there again i just wanted to share this with you and and say thank you for your great hunting story's
" I know several people that got chewed on",😲😲 and that's the category I would be most fearful of falling into, which is why I just subscribed to you and your awesome stories. This is as close as I ever want to get!
I love all your hunting stories! My husband is an avid hunter, and hearing you talk about your experiences gives me a lot of insight. I especially love the Sasquatch stories because they...pretty much everyone..thinks I’m crazy!? You are a GUIDE and a serious game hunter. Maybe you were meant to be a part of awakening people of their true existence? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to tell your stories... 👍🏼🦶🏾🐻🦌🦈🐏
I like the stories about bears because of the extreme power and ferociousness of the bears. The grabbing and shaking is nature’s version of shock and awe.
On the topic of bringing a side arm: I don't count on anyone else for my safety. I'll bring my rifle, I'll bring my hand cannon. I don't know why anyone would think that their own safety is someone else's responsibility.
Would have never thought of dropping to a need to shoot a bear with the way you explained it makes perfect sense definitely something to know in the woods thanks. keep up the bear stories they are outstanding you tell them well.
I couldn't get past the played bodyguard rant. People who do not have the skills or "nards" to hunt, hire guides for that very purpose and reason! They want to kill big game, but ONLY if there is no risk. Alaska Born and proud. But I don't agree with this guide at all. I think he should have a 500. Or a 44 caliber as back up, and of course your own guide rifle. These people who are so bent killing the bear probably won't even eat it. I think a guide has a responsibility, if under written contract to try to protect the moron and the bear from needlessly suffering.
@@Anglerworks I'd be amazed if there are not provisions for hunters and guides .....and what the hell? If I am not allowed to carry the side arm? Then a bush rifle ...Lever action 44 mag or whatever.....SOMETHING to save my OWN ass from a wounded 800llb this same guide says will "100% of the time try ..."to KILL you if you go after it....I did not say that HE DID ....THERE is your reason to carry a gun even though "not the hunter"....or maybe game wardens are like Nazis in Canada and hate guides? I don't know.....weird shift if you ask me ....if is getting that stupid? Stop hunting ...stop guiding ...leave the fricken deadly asks bears alone if you can't even protect yourself
I love these stories man, you should do hunting story Sunday or just make it a weekly or bi weekly thing, thanks for the awesome stories and helpful tips! I’m going on my first grizzly hunt this year!
That slow motion thing has happened to me a few times in a few horrific accidents or situations or whatever. Its truly an odd thing to try to explain to anyone let alone a person that its never happened to. Im binge watching your videos rite now. Thank you sir. Extremely interesting.
I have listened to 2 of your stories . Nothing I like better than a good story. Especially if true. At 65 now one, of two things bring terror to my heart. And both of them happened in Alaska. When my brother and I used to go hunting with dad ( bout 9 and 10 ) we walked down to the creek by the camp one time when dad snuck up on us ( young and very impressionable lol ) and growled like a bear so loud it scared the beejeebers out of us. Being a biker all my life ( like my dad as well ) not many things scare the beejeebers out of me. But as you stated in one of your stories there is nothing more terrifying than being eaten alive by a Grizzly. Or any bear for that matter.Since he pulled that little caper down by the creek, that has stayed with me my whole life lol. And still does to this day. The other thing was the 64 earthquake that decimated Anchorage. My dad was stationed at Elmendorf ( not sure how it's spelled ), when that quake hit. That also happened when we were around 9 or 10 as well. Maybe just after the hunting trip. Dad has a Doll Ram ( full curl ), and a 7' Bull Moose horns. We still have the Doll Ram , but the Moose horns went to the Army surplus store ( also hunting store ) in Show Low Az and hung on the wall for a long time. Needless to say, I still have nightmares about bears hahaha. That is one animal while hunting I would " never " underestimate . Those who do are fools and should stay out of the woods of Alaska lol.
I have to say... there is a big difference between tourists visiting bear country.... And a bear guide, ago is very likely to encounter..., almost guaranteed to have to deal with a wounded bear. I agree... Stupid o not be carrying a 12g with hard slugs, lever gun, or big bore side arm as a bear HUNTING guide. Or any hunting guide in grizzly/brown country. But it's your life. There are reasons people generally think of tourists as morons.
yeah hikers are not armed and we hike those woods. In BC every square mile is Bear country, if you can't hang there without a weapon, go home to your safe little town or City.
@@chimo1961 why is this a reply to my statement? People do all kinds of things in bear country.. But walking in towards wounded bears is a very different thing than hiking with jingle bells on your boots.. People walk through downtown Detroit too, but you wouldn't raid a Detroit crack dealers house without an AR or 8 or 9 buckshot shells backing you up, the only problem is you KNOW the bear is willing to fight it out.
@@chimo1961 and there is no "hanging".. You are lucky, hopefully you never become unlucky and turn the wrong corner on the wrong day. That's all it is. You aren't going to talk your way out of a grizzly eating on your ass. You go unarmed, you are just hoping it never happens, because there ain't shit your gonna do about it. At least you have an equalizer if you are able to carry. Same principle as not wearing your seatbelt.. Many people domy wear one their whole lives, they are living on the luck, and hope, that some other thinking, conscious being doesn't decide to answer a text and cross the center line and kill them instantly. Or insurance, you hope you never need it. But you "carry" insurance just in case your house burns down. Probably won't burn down, but if it does, you have options. you'd be an idiot to not have homeowners insurance.. Probably will never meet a pissed off bear, but if you do, options. Life.
god damn. I can’t even imagine what that dude was feeling. absolutely insane. super glad he has his gun with him that day, it’s the only thing that saved his life. because from the sounds of it, the other two people with him never took a shot or tried to. but I also understand that a bear charging you like that, you don’t have any time to really react. but if the guide says something... i’d be walking with my gun off safe & up to my shoulder, just in case. love the stories man. if I could afford a guided hunt, i’d definitely love to be guided by you.
Great story. I'm going on 42 years old. Just when I think I've seen and heard the stupidest, of,the stupid things,people of this world,have to offer,you go and blow my mind. WHAT in the hell,was this guy thinking?!?! AMAZINGLY stupid! Lol. Anyway,another quality story. Made my Saturday night.👍
In the late 90s Reader's Digest covered a story of a couple who were jogging some trails in the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania. It was a man and his wife and they had decided to try a new trail just after the snow melted in early Spring. The woman was somewhat familiar with the trail but the man wasn't at all. The run was about 10 miles and they had come about 1/2 way when they startled a big boar black bear and it attacked them. It pretty much did the same thing as the one in Steve's story. It latched onto the guy's buttocks and just flopped him around like a dog with a toy! The wife grabbed a solid chunk of white oak and smacked it in the head several times before it let her husband go and it charged her but she was able to fight back. She hit it many many times and it finally got sick of it and ran off into the woods. The woman helped her husband get to his feet in sheer agony and the two of them headed deeper down the trails where an abandoned shack was. They made it about 1/2 a mile when the bear came out of nowhere and attacked them again nearly killing the man this time! He suffered severe lacerations all over his back, neck and the skin on the back of his head was nearly ripped clean off and was hanging down the back of his neck! The poor guy was screaming in agony but the woman managed again to fight the bear off of her husband. She ended up dragging him the rest of the way to the cabin and getting a fire going in the fire place and managed to get her jacket and some old blankets that were on the bed and used them to cover husband up. He was already in shock but still aware of his surroundings. After looking around the cabin she found a hatchet that was used at one time to split the small fire wood for the fire place and she gave it to her husband with the instructions that if the bear came back to hit it in the head as many times as he needed to but to try to kill it. Her husband nodded okay as best he could and by this time he couldn't even speak. She told him that she had to run to get help but that she was gonna be gone a while since it was close to 10 miles back to the Ranger Station where she could use a phone or get a Ranger to help. With that she ran all the way back to the Ranger Station. It had just closed for the day when she got there but the Rangers were coming out of the building and she told them what happened. Two miles to the west of the trail was a private road used for the Rangers to traverse back and forth to get supplies on a certain day so they loaded up guns and first aid and headed down that road towards the cabin but it was still a 2 mile hike through the forest to get to the cabin and they had equipment that they needed to carry with them if the woman's husband had any hope of survival at all. The three of them jogged the entire distance and just before they got there the bear broke through the wooden door and attacked again this time getting the other cheek and tearing it nearly completely off. It broke the man's back in several places as well from pouncing upon him over and over again. The Rangers and the wife heard him screaming so they knew that the bear was back. The wife was the fastest on foot because she wasn't carrying as much equipment and she got to the cabin first. She managed to get the hatchet and hit the bear in the head and it dug a deep gouge into its forehead. The bear scuttled away in sheer pain and fright and disappeared into the forest once again. One of the Rangers happened to be a medic so they got him somewhat stabilized and wrapped up much of his wounds and the Ranger ran back to his truck to call for more help. When he got back to the cabin the three of them carried the man back to the truck without incident and managed to get him back to the parking lot a little ways from the Ranger's Station where a life flight chopper landed and whisked the man and his wife into the air and away to the closest hospital. The bear had done so much physical damage to this poor man that the doctors (there were three of them working on him at the same time to keep him alive) spent over 10 hours rebuilding this poor man's body and head! More than 600 sutures later the man was finally out of surgery. Now it would be a matter of time to see if he could pull out of the coma he had slipped into. Meanwhile the local Sheriff's Department, Forestry Services and the Rangers over that park went bear hunting. The only real damage done to the bear was that head wound with the hatchet so they hoped they could find a blood trail but it proved to be a lesson in futility because it began to rain and it rained for days on end and must have washed away any tracks or tell tale signs of the wounded bear. Still they kept on searching for that dangerous animal even in the cold rain for three more days. at the end of the day the Rangers got a phone call from the wife of the man who was attacked. He had managed to survive and was out of the coma but still couldn't move or talk. He communicated via slight hand signals for yes and no. That was Thursday. On Friday one of the Rangers said he was going to call a friend who owned a small helicopter and ask if he might go on the look out for the bear. Just one hour into the areal search the big boar was located near the Allegheny River and just a few hundreds yards from a farm. It had attacked and killed a calf, had dragged it off down near the shoreline and was eating it when the two men flew overhead. They called it in and a posse was set up to run the bear to the edge of the river and corner him there and finally kill it. Within a few hours they had succeeded in killing the bear. It was put on a scale and weighed in around 400 pounds ( pretty good size for a relatively young boar!) The Rangers informed the man's wife that they killed the bear and asked her if she wanted it skinned so she could have it for a living room rug. She said "NO!" Folks, this really happened. I can;t recall all the details like the actual date and where exactly they were in the Allegheny Forest but there are many trails running through that area and I have been on several of them. Trails in that forest run from Kinzua Dam way up in northern Pennsylvania all the way down through Cook's Forest and I think there's several hundred miles of trails going through there total. I have seen some pretty amazing animals in those woods too and have desired to hunt there for a long time but never got the chance. Maybe that was for the better? :)
Geesh, thanks for sharing that story. We used to get Readers Digest. I got a subscription to Field & Stream for my husband years ago. I like them for the stories about bear encounters. Something I never want to be around. There was a movie about a young couple who camped on an island in Canada or Northern parts of U.S. where it was restricted- no camping allowed. A bear attacked at night pulling the man out of the tent & eating him alive. The woman escaped. She found the guide whom they'd met early on after a few days of wondering around. Based on a true story. It's a terrifying thought to get eaten by a bear.
I take my handguns everywhere with me. Anyone that goes into the bear woods without at least one handgun has got a death wish in my not so humble opinion...
I agree but i doubt my 9mm would do much to a grizzly going at me full charge. Adrenaline dump is enough to make the aiming hard enough to where you cant get a shot at the right spot and you might just piss it off even more
I live in bear country and you just have to know how to behave. I did have a close call with a mom with cubs(black bear) but being calm and non threatening and not flinching at a false charge. But I know a big grizzly I wouldn’t want to be around.
I could probably top that. Unfortunately... in short. 12yrs old 85lbs Hunting alone-ish 3-point blank shots with my youth model .308 World class black bear. 470lbs on the hook, and 7’5” Just under 23” skull.. let me know if you want the full story. Cheers Ps, I wasn’t bear hunting. However he was kid hunting lol...taxidermist aged him at 19yrs old.
Supreme Renegade , Got another story for you. Kentucky hillbilly grandmother out running her trapline. Had a pump action 22 rifle filled w 22 shorts for trapline dispatch rifle. Ran into a Grizzly. Was found 2 days later still trapped UNDER the dead fallen bear w 11, 22 short rounds in its brain. She shoved the rifle into its mouth & unloaded all she had. Was madder than hell it took her kin so long to come look for her!
joblo1978 , NO critter is that tough when brain shot. That old hillbilly woman knew her bear anatomy & the roof of a bears mouth is thin & right next to its brain. And in panic mode people are capable of amazing stunts. Super dumps of adrenalin make folks increadably strong/fast.
Dave Jan I’m sorry but, is there somewhere that tells the story first hand? This just doesn’t seem to add up. Not calling you personally a liar, but maybe someone that told you the story twisted it up a little?
Supreme Renegade , I was in my 20s in Kentucky when it was told to me. Im 70 now & the folks from that generation are all dead. Knowing the Kentucky hillbillys, they are brutally honest. Different standards back then. And there WERE grizzlys back then. Did I see it personally? No. But I beleive the story. Thoes folks were tougher than nails. No power, no T.V., no computors. Just real people living HARD real lives. No welfare or social crippling agents. Either work or starve. Hunting, fishing, trapping, bartering & making/selling moonshine was a way of life. Still is in some places. We lived 27 years in remote Alaskan bush. Very similar lifestyles.This "smartphone" is the 1st Ive ever had & still learning how to figure it out. But w my moms passing, Jan/I are going back to the AK bush. Miss our bears & the freedom one cant get in "civilization". And THAT word is NOT complimentary.
You've gained another subscriber. I love listening to you're hunting adventures and exploits. Keep them coming. Maybe someday I can go on a hunt with someone with you're years experience.
You didn't comment on this issue, but it seems to me that your friend, the guide, should be the taker of that bear trophy, no questions asked. Aside from a verbal lashing, the hunter should not be rewarded for that kill, based on the way that hunt went down. His actions were so reckless it's hard to justify. On top of that, the guide's actions (while being mauled!) are incredible, and he is clearly lucky to still be here. So that's my personal opinion. I know you do not comment much, but if you do, I'd like your thoughts on how it sorted out in that case. And thanks for a wild story!
I have had repeated dreams of being attacked by Grizzlies. Never been in their habitats but I have seen how huge they can get. I could not imagine what it would be like to be in those jaws.
Hmmm, nothing? I would expect more than a few African guides who hunt lion to disagree, as well as a few individuals who have had the misfortune to be on the receiving end of a tiger attack. I'd be willing to bet that even Steve, if hard pressed, would include the really big cats in the "most terrifying during an all out charge" category, even though he has never experienced one first hand. Love your stuff Steve, best channel out there.
@Redwoodrebelgirl I got that. Trust me. Using ACTUAL experiences with enraged wildlife leads me to put big cats at the top of the " most terrifying when enraged" list. Not that a sow protecting Cubs can't be terrifying, of course they can, but the cats add incredible athleticism beyond the capabilities of any bear. Siberian tigers prey on brown bears.......
We live in the hidesert of southern California, with big mountains behind us. When my mother was alive, we had mountain lions, Bob cats and brown bears that wandered through our property. These critters would come into the porch of my mother's trailer. She liked to put out pans of water and dry dog food to feed the hungry critters. I told my mother that someday the critters would eat her!!! Wild critters are wild and need to be respected and they don't want to be tamed!!!
From a physiological standpoint things tend to go in slow motion because your brain ramps up its processing power of visual information, it also shuts down its long-term memory, they suspect because the brain is processing for the information faster that you see time as moving slower, just as a fly because of its tiny brain and the small distances between its senses, its brain processes time significantly slower than we do. Problem is this heightened state generates Heat and the adrenaline damages organs over time, your brain can't maintain this type of processing power so it only happens temporarily when adrenaline rushes. Hence why almost every individual that goes through an extremely traumatic experience says the same thing, it feels like time slows down, and that's most likely because it did. In the sense that your brain was able to capture more information per second
My wife’s aunt (in her 60s~) was in Yoho NP and split off from the party she started the hike with. At some point she came around a corner and met up with a sow and cubs on a fresh kill. The sow immediately charged and she dropped on her face and tried to cover her head. The sow kept trying to flip her face up but she would just continue the roll until she was face down again. She said the bear chewed on her head just a bit but mainly it was just the claws. The beat left after just mere minutes and took her cubs up the trail. When she felt it was safe she got up and walked out. A ranger who had known her for many years didn’t recognize her because of her facial injuries from the claws. Due to the infections from the dirty claws it was a long recovery. I have utmost respect for that lady’s brass. She insisted that the bear be allowed too survive as it was her fault.
You need to go on Joe Rogen’s podcast. You would have a great new best friend. I’m not a hunter but a fan of your channel. I have a cougar story but that’s another sport . Ha
That was my first time hearing a hunting story from this man versus the Bigfoot stories I have been viewing. It was just as enjoyable. Wow, if I'd been the guide I'd had that idiot that made the bad shot walking in front. Lol, call me an A-hole,I don't care. He made that bad shot, I'd been doing my job"Guiding" that idiot right along in front to find his wounded surprise. Take note of that!!! Great video.
100% I’d do the same! The farking idiot risked that guides life with his stupidity and arrogance. Also, I noticed no one mentions that poor bear, horrific!!
I know a friend who got pulled out of their tent at night by a grizzly. He was on an elk hunt. Fought it with his knife and drove it off. He was chomped and torn. Then he had to horseback quite far to their vehicles. Once he got to the truck he passed out as the adrenaline wore off. When in the hospital the F&G officer was mad at him for harming the bear. I don't recall if they found the bear dead or as live. He has bad scars on his body that tell the story also. GwinsLodge.com Alaskan cabin rentals online Kenai Peninsula
Michael Jordan , Means your already dead. Just too stupid to lay down & quit breathing. Life is an adventure! GO LIVE IT!! Anybody can be a "chicken little". (The sky is falling) Shit dude, you only have 1 life. Dont be one of thoes who goes to his grave REGRETTING all the things you DIDNT DO because u let fear be your master.
@@davejan744 why would killing a bear fullfill any dream of mine? A fool's dream is to kill an animal like that. I hunt but I have no need to hunt puma or bear or wolves ever it is not on my bucket list and I question why it would be on someone's.
No better story teller than Steve! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us your videos!
Mr Ballen is but this guy is good too
Just watched your bear story with w. Va. I was mauled by a mother grizz four years ago. She had two cubs and had claimed my elk during the night. After thirty years of hunting in wyoming grizzly country i got complacent. Seen lots of grizz never had a problem. At fifty nine yrs age i didnt want extra weight to handle while hauling 150 lbs of meat over two miles back to camp. On my back. No gun, no spray. Separated from my hunting buddies, carrying only a deboning knife. I survived to carry my face in my pocket climbed into deadfall to await help. Lots of stupid comments from folks that dont know about bears. Door knob is right! To stop a charging grizzly is nearly impossible. Nice videos great stories. Keep em coming. I subscribed!
If a guy makes a bad shot and wounds a bear it sucks but it happens. But when they run off and don’t listen and then make a bad shot that a whole different level of pissed off
At that point he's on his own he wants to hurt solo he can retrieve it himself
No s*** you wanted to be the big man takes a shot now hero you go find his ass and finish him off. I'll be listening for the scream so let everybody know what happen. So I'm f****** people shouldn't have a gun. How's that saying go you can't fix stupid.
It's about 5 a.m. I've been listening to your stories most of the night have to get up at 8 very tired but not tired of listening to your story just tired in general, so glad I found your Channel
If bear travelled in packs, like wolves, hunters would be fked
Good maybe they would stay out of bear country!
Michael Jordan , Whats the matter pussey? Got no balls? Happy there under mommies bed in your "safe place". No guts to go face the REAL WORLD. Self righteous judgemental ass who thinks the whole world should revolve around your ball less attitude. Get a LIFE & in the meantime, just STFU!!
Deb long , Sure they do. Just in different styles. Some folks hunt in grocery stores where they pay others to do their killing/butchering for them. And the more HONEST hunters do it w weapons. So dont go supporting all the "holier than thou" bunch that condems the honest ones. EVERYONE is a hunter one way or another. Even self righteous vegans. Kirleain photography has proven even plants "scream" when being harvested/eatin. Shows as electrical patterns. Its the smug self righteous folks who try to play they're better. They're just hypocrites who live in na na land of denial. The reality is this. Something has to die so that other things can live. It ALL cycles around in one form or another. Called "The cycle of life" & its what keeps this old world working.
Deb long , Eat them, make trappers hats from their furs & have their skulls mounted over my cabin door to greet visitors. Trick to bear meat is slow cook em w half an onion for a day. Throw out the old water/onion & repeat another day. By day 3 the "gamey" taste is gone. Strip it out, add Barbeque sauce & glaze it into the meat. Food for the Gods. Very similar to pork BBQ. BTW, dipshit started it by condeming hunters. Just another citiot hypocrite.....
@Deb long Hunters are constantly being attacked by tree huggers and liberals so I say he gets to be a little sensitive now and then
The storys you tell. Gives me the chill's and makes my hair stand up just picturing it in my head .
I could seriously listen to you all day! Thanks so much for the awsome stories!
With respect I disagree with your opinions. I'm 72 years of age and began hunting in the woods of CT at age 13. I lived in the bush of Alaska for three months and have traveled in the wilderness of 45 countries. I'm ex- military and a Vietnam vet. My experience tells me never be in grizzly bear country without a 50 caliber pistol at all times. Especially while hunting along with a high powered rifle with a scope. As you know all rifles can jam or malfunction. While trekking through heavy brush and if surprised by a predator, a long rifle barrel can get hung up in brush making it impossible to aim; whereas if you have a pistol as a backup you can protect yourself, the guide and friends! Also a preditor could knock the rifle out of your hands. It can be dropped and out of reach while resting or sleeping. Again, it's wise to have a backup pistol. I was disturbed to hear you say you're not a bodyguard to your paying clients. Humans with a soul and that are not mentally disordered protect each other because they care and I have a conscience. To take a client's money hunting and not carry weapons, in my opinion is being foolish and incompetent. And a target for broke, hungry thieves!
James Peck I agree with you 100% !!! .. I'm a veteran as well, during our first terrorist attack I always remembered, we must stick together we must protect one another and no one's left behind!!! .. That was our code. .. it seems like so long ago, .. thanks for the reminder!
Up here in Canada it's illegal to carry a handgun in the bush. Pretty lame hey?
Like he said several times it's not legal to carry a handgun in the Canadian bush. Usually if you have a hunter that has any experience and he is carrying a rifle that would easily kill a bear that would be enough unless a one in a million chance of bullshit happened. Maybe you would act differently but he also said that he usually had a rifle with him and only this time did not.
@@dannygroves6764 Hmmmmm.......... Maybe that's one reason there are so many mature
and aggressive grizzlies in that particular area ! ps - military family members. = Most
carry ( legally !) .......those 2 legged grizzlies in our area can be pretty dangerous too!
Yes Carol Martin that definitely could be why there are so many mature grizzlies in that area. And you are right Carol, the two legged suckers are the worst by far. I think maybe we could work something out to keep you nice and safe honey, and warm too.
I thank you for all you do bringing the stories to us. I used to hunt a lot when I was young too almost like you describe yourself in your youth. I took a different path to prove my manhood, or I thought I had chosen one enlisting. It's all good through that one day as you have described when it all goes against you. I can tell by your manner and bearing that you are the real deal. So when I hear you speak I know I'm hearing the truth. Or as close to the truth is any man can relay. Your stories take me back to a time when I too was that guy, young and vital, full of vim and vigor or as my grandfather used to say full of piss and vinegar. Your stories help me in ways you could never imagine. I am again alive when I hear you recount your experiences. Like I said I can tell when a man tells the truth. I thank you very much for all you do
Love you hunting stories , not quite on the sasquatch thing I've been hunting throughout Ak Canada, north America and never encountered a Sasquatch , needless to.say I am a non believer that they exist ,too many hunters and photo opps with no real proof they are real ,but your hunt storys are very much like mine ,even the cussing , keep it up your fantastic with it.
I wonder how many lives this guy has saved with these stories. Petty entertaining as well. Just awesome . Thank you.
We like the grizzly stories because they're freaking terrifying :)

The sagebrush was 6 to 8 feet tall - like navigating a corn maze. Darkness had not completely lifted and it was snowing heavily in the country north of Yellowstone National Park. Upon hearing an elk bugle some 100 to 150 yards away, seasoned hunters Bob Legasa, of Hayden, and Greg Gibson, of Sandpoint, headed toward a prominent tree. They sought a clearing to spot the elk they had scouted the day before.Instead, they were met with the growl of a big grizzly bear cub. About 500 pounds of mother bear wasn’t far behind. www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/oct/15/man-survives-grizzly-bear-attack-in-montana-wilder/
Report on the Soda Butte Bear Attacks Released Aug 16th 2010
A grizzly bear consumed a "significant portion" of the torso of a Michigan man fatally mauled by the grizzly last month, according to a 70-page U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report released today.
The report speculates that the events slowly escalated from the first attack, where the bear fled after being punched, to serious injury to a Canadian woman's arm, to the fatal mauling.
Two other people were injured the same morning at at Cooke City-area campground by the same bear, a grizzly sow with three yearling cubs. The sow was euthanized and the cubs are now housed at ZooMontana in Billings.

Man, I am absolutely STOKED for the next story! Thanks, keep'm coming! Awesome just awesome 👍
Not for nothin but man you gotta sue Mr. Clean.....they are using your spitting image as the new Mr. Clean......okay so now for the reason for this post....I have hunted for 45+ years and you are cut from the cloth all great hunters are cut from......every dad in this country and Canada should send their kid to spend a season with you....,would do the world a lot of good.....keep up the great work....,.
Man i love this channel. its like having my Grandad read old Outdoor Life stories to me again like he did when i was a Kid. Thanks man, keep up the good work, this is great!
My experience as a guide is very limited....one season.....I could not handle how entitled clients (most from NY and that area) were.....as a result....both clients and myself suffered, yet I also had a few that I will never forget, and I am confident that those had the experience that they were seeking.....#1 being a retired Security Guard from Oklahoma City, OK..w/ severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and impending total immobility....getting a 6'8" Black Bear.....what a rush....yet the most memorable is a GM plant worker who would not leave camp in the rain.....and vowed to sue the State for not having guard rails in a mtn. road.....and this was the same type mentality that got your friend chewed up. Knowledge is not much protection against stupidity I can attest. Thanks for your take.
Everytime I listen to these stories I just go in a trance waiting on every next second for the rest of the story. Thanks for the content.
These are better than the bedtime stories I was hearing as a child
I got hooked watching your hunting video... learning so much thanks . Sam
When I go out in the wilderness I carry a gun because of the other people I might run into. It just helps keep people safe and rational. I’ve been a victim of violent crimes but never been attacked by nature. Just sayin.
Always be safe than sorry, always packing, the kitchen sink and watching the survival guy for more tips.
I trust 4 legged creatures a lot more than I trust legged ones
this man is a true story teller I could sit and listen to stories all day thanks for that keep up the good work good luck on the hunts.
One of my absolute biggest fears is encountering a bear in the woods. My boys and I love your stories!
Love your hunting stories they're awesome! Keep them coming!
Great story! You do a great job with these.
I already know I'd never survive out there, so I live vicariously by watching this.
I've been living in the bush in northern BC for 8 years, a few times chased by bears, but still alive.
You might be able to do better than you think. I still don't have a gun.
Right? I carry a weapon everywhere but im afraid if i saw a grizzly bear if shoot myself instead and get it over with lmao
Tachypsychia is the term for distortion of time associated with adrenaline response or duress. I've seen dozens of black bears but only a couple grizzlies, and it is an awesome experience. Men aren't used to being with other apex predators and it is sobering to know you aren't alone at the top of the food chain. Respect those animals and give them as much distance as possible, because they are explosively fast when motivated.
We aren't at the top of the food chain...not really anyways, if you take away the guns, pretty much everything out there can kill us with ease, and they don't need weapons
I love Nat Geo Wild and they had a show where a grizzly ran down an elk, he was fast !
Robert Boren: SO true. When we hunt we often feel our hearts pounding in so many different types of emotions all at once! I used to be a very avid pheasant and ruffed grouse hunter The rush you feel when you hear those wings flapping away from you can cause the wrong person to accidentally hurt someone else if they are hunting in a group because you react before you actually think. It's that fluttering of those wings that made me the somewhat quick shot with a rifle or shotgun that I am today. I still try to hunt even though I can;t get around very well now due to a bad crash I was in 10 years ago that damaged my lower spine and hips, and legs, and nervous system but I am working towards doing a wild boar hunt from a blind this year...probably in Kentucky or Pennsylvania. I live in north east Ohio so it's not too long a drive to eastern PA but it's over 10 hours one way to southern Kentucky where my uncle lives. BUT... I'm looking forward to the hunt and to fill my freezer with pork for the year. :)
@@littleshepherdfarm2128 Hope you got to go hunting again,and bag a boar or two!
@@kingsoren2010 Yep...up to 40 miles per hour for a big dominant male in the 1500 pound range! Just imagine carrying all that weight and running that fast. The Siberian Kodiaks get the biggest on average and are something else to watch in the wild but Alaskan Kodiaks get almost as big and they have their range of dominance. The other bears will move out of his way when they smell him coming or they sense his presence. And when they fight its usually to the death or until one backs down and outrun the bigger one.
Oohhh..great freaking story!! Dude..hearing you tell a real story is way better then hearing you read the e-mails. Thanks!
Love your hunting stories, even when your telling other people's stories you make it exciting.

Love those stories, Steve, which you tell so well.You have probably unknowingly saved lives, human and bear, by helping people understand and respect bears and to hunt responsibly. I'm sorry that you've been criticized for not carrying a sidearm, etc., and I respect what you had to say on the subject. If I ever were to go hunting (which I'm too chicken to do), I certainly would insist on a guide as experienced and as responsible as yourself.
Man Brother I hear ya. I have guided for many years in Colorado for Big Game. Elk, Deer, Black Bear, Sheep. Well back in 2016 I moved to Cody Wyoming. East side of Yellowstone. Never had to contend with mountain Grizzly til I moved here. Have had hundreds of encounters with Grizzly"s here but two went extremely WRONG!! not threw hunter error like you are talking about but because of coming onto kills that we didn't know about that the bears were on. Both EXTREME encounters that cost bears their lives that were not the primary game we were after in the thorofare range of Shashoni Natl Forest. Literally the most isolated spot in the lower 48.All on horses. It happens in the blink of an eye. Brown lightning is SPOT ON!! 45-70 is the only saving grace and nothing more than gut instinct like you talk about is what saved lives. No time to think. REACT. Period. Its not about how big your balls are its being able to pull them back out after they were sucked up your ass by primal fear to the 10th power. I carry a 454 but for my safety, not the dumb asses we cater to, Don't get me wrong. I have had many spectacular experiences in the high country with hunters but HUNTERS are not all created equal. Money can't buy common sense. . Love your stories. Think what you do is fantastic. Would love to share more down the road.
Peace!!
I'd like to hear your bear stories 👍

You ever guide near Craig Colorado?
I have recurring nightmares about grizzlies since childhood, I'm now 68 and still dreaming them. So I've been watching and studying reports of grizzly behavior. You never know when it could save a life.....BUT IT STILL SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME😖 Thank you for the education!
yah, I grew up in colorado rockies, in the 60s most of the predators had been hunted out. so I was more concerned with falling down a mineshaft. then that movie "night of the grizzly" came out and put the fear in me. followed by "true west magazine" publishing an article about ole mose. ever since I dont go into a tree line without a buddy and a firearm. nature dont forgive.
Your stories are so addicting! Thank you for sharing!
I hope and im sure you do realize how special and incredible the way you live your life is sir. You get to enjoy and experience AMAAAZING things each year, each day!!! Stay safe and please continue sharing. We love it!!!
Tachypsychia is the medical term for the perception of time slowing down, in reality it is the result of a adrenaline dump which ampes up your neurons. Same thing happens in combat to my Marines. In my humble understanding, I'm just a FMF Corpsman, not a Neurologist. But what a great story.
I love how he says something and then says, "I dont care what you think, that's what it is."
You are an awesome story teller. Love them all. But I would still carry a gun because of the unpredictability of nature.
Yep, Smith & Wesson 500. I'd rather have a broke wrist than my head ripped off.
Yes the story kind of emphasizes that having a gun can save your life under these circumstances.... I understand it doesn't always save your life, But especially guides who are so experienced, have a better chance of shooting and killing a bear that's attacking than an average person
You do a great job telling these stories
OMG! The thought of a Grizzly's hot breath on your face and the growl....I would die of a heart attack!!! 🐻
Cant believe I’m clicking on your videos X2 for story telling. Awesome Stories had a beer in my hand at the same time.. count me in just subscribed
Great Story. Don't go chasing after any injured Bears,especially if it's a Grizzly! Polar Bears and the Kodiacs as well as any other subspecies of Brown Bear are better off left to their own devices.
You are definitely crazy for not carrying a large cal.revolver on you while in bear country,or Cougar country either one. That's your only last hope to never have your own story about being savaged by a bear if things go wrong. I'd much rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it. Some beasts just don't play around with a man.
Lions. Tigers. And Bears. Oh My
Your the best Steve. Fly-fisher woman. Thanks LOVE your videos
I totally love your hunt story's I am sixty two years old and I have been a hunter all my life and i have quite a few hunt story's my self but l had something to share with you and friend and I where hunting in southern Utah and was in very thick timber and seen something i can't say what it was but it was huge light brown hair and stood on two legs my friend said let's get out of here so we did haven't talked about it because people think i am crazy anyhow but my friend would never go back in there again i just wanted to share this with you and and say thank you for your great hunting story's
" I know several people that got chewed on",😲😲 and that's the category I would be most fearful of falling into, which is why I just subscribed to you and your awesome stories. This is as close as I ever want to get!
I love all your hunting stories! My husband is an avid hunter, and hearing you talk about your experiences gives me a lot of insight. I especially love the Sasquatch stories because they...pretty much everyone..thinks I’m crazy!? You are a GUIDE and a serious game hunter. Maybe you were meant to be a part of awakening people of their true existence? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to tell your stories... 👍🏼🦶🏾🐻🦌🦈🐏
His "man up" rant had me subscribing immediately. Well said!
I like the stories about bears because of the extreme power and ferociousness of the bears. The grabbing and shaking is nature’s version of shock and awe.
On the topic of bringing a side arm: I don't count on anyone else for my safety. I'll bring my rifle, I'll bring my hand cannon. I don't know why anyone would think that their own safety is someone else's responsibility.
You make the stories come ALIVE,keep'em coming!!
Would have never thought of dropping to a need to shoot a bear with the way you explained it makes perfect sense definitely something to know in the woods thanks. keep up the bear stories they are outstanding you tell them well.
You can't outrun a charging bear, so you might as well wait until he's close enough that you can't miss.
I subscribed a while back for the Bigfoot stories but I TOTALLY dig the near-death-while-hunting-mortal-beasts-in-the-far-back-country stories
I couldn't get past the played bodyguard rant. People who do not have the skills or "nards" to hunt, hire guides for that very purpose and reason! They want to kill big game, but ONLY if there is no risk. Alaska Born and proud. But I don't agree with this guide at all.
I think he should have a 500. Or a 44 caliber as back up, and of course your own guide rifle. These people who are so bent killing the bear probably won't even eat it. I think a guide has a responsibility, if under written contract to try to protect the moron and the bear from needlessly suffering.
can't carry Handguns in Canada outside of travel between home and the range.
Wrong. It’s Canada not Africa
@@Anglerworks I'd be amazed if there are not provisions for hunters and guides .....and what the hell? If I am not allowed to carry the side arm? Then a bush rifle ...Lever action 44 mag or whatever.....SOMETHING to save my OWN ass from a wounded 800llb this same guide says will "100% of the time try ..."to KILL you if you go after it....I did not say that HE DID ....THERE is your reason to carry a gun even though "not the hunter"....or maybe game wardens are like Nazis in Canada and hate guides? I don't know.....weird shift if you ask me ....if is getting that stupid? Stop hunting ...stop guiding ...leave the fricken deadly asks bears alone if you can't even protect yourself

I love these stories man, you should do hunting story Sunday or just make it a weekly or bi weekly thing, thanks for the awesome stories and helpful tips!
I’m going on my first grizzly hunt this year!
That slow motion thing has happened to me a few times in a few horrific accidents or situations or whatever. Its truly an odd thing to try to explain to anyone let alone a person that its never happened to. Im binge watching your videos rite now. Thank you sir. Extremely interesting.
I have listened to 2 of your stories . Nothing I like better than a good story. Especially if true. At 65 now one, of two things bring terror to my heart. And both of them happened in Alaska. When my brother and I used to go hunting with dad ( bout 9 and 10 ) we walked down to the creek by the camp one time when dad snuck up on us ( young and very impressionable lol ) and growled like a bear so loud it scared the beejeebers out of us. Being a biker all my life ( like my dad as well ) not many things scare the beejeebers out of me. But as you stated in one of your stories there is nothing more terrifying than being eaten alive by a Grizzly. Or any bear for that matter.Since he pulled that little caper down by the creek, that has stayed with me my whole life lol. And still does to this day. The other thing was the 64 earthquake that decimated Anchorage. My dad was stationed at Elmendorf ( not sure how it's spelled ), when that quake hit. That also happened when we were around 9 or 10 as well. Maybe just after the hunting trip. Dad has a Doll Ram ( full curl ), and a 7' Bull Moose horns. We still have the Doll Ram , but the Moose horns went to the Army surplus store ( also hunting store ) in Show Low Az and hung on the wall for a long time.
Needless to say, I still have nightmares about bears hahaha. That is one animal while hunting I would
" never " underestimate . Those who do are fools and should stay out of the woods of Alaska lol.
You can’t blame us for wanting for bear stories 😁
Thanks for the knee advice.
I have to say... there is a big difference between tourists visiting bear country.... And a bear guide, ago is very likely to encounter..., almost guaranteed to have to deal with a wounded bear. I agree... Stupid o not be carrying a 12g with hard slugs, lever gun, or big bore side arm as a bear HUNTING guide. Or any hunting guide in grizzly/brown country. But it's your life. There are reasons people generally think of tourists as morons.
yeah hikers are not armed and we hike those woods. In BC every square mile is Bear country, if you can't hang there without a weapon, go home to your safe little town or City.
@@chimo1961 why is this a reply to my statement? People do all kinds of things in bear country.. But walking in towards wounded bears is a very different thing than hiking with jingle bells on your boots.. People walk through downtown Detroit too, but you wouldn't raid a Detroit crack dealers house without an AR or 8 or 9 buckshot shells backing you up, the only problem is you KNOW the bear is willing to fight it out.
@@chimo1961 and there is no "hanging".. You are lucky, hopefully you never become unlucky and turn the wrong corner on the wrong day. That's all it is. You aren't going to talk your way out of a grizzly eating on your ass. You go unarmed, you are just hoping it never happens, because there ain't shit your gonna do about it. At least you have an equalizer if you are able to carry. Same principle as not wearing your seatbelt.. Many people domy wear one their whole lives, they are living on the luck, and hope, that some other thinking, conscious being doesn't decide to answer a text and cross the center line and kill them instantly. Or insurance, you hope you never need it. But you "carry" insurance just in case your house burns down. Probably won't burn down, but if it does, you have options. you'd be an idiot to not have homeowners insurance.. Probably will never meet a pissed off bear, but if you do, options. Life.
@Theone ! Exactly. No one needs it... Until they do.
Out of all your stories this is by far my favorite, my kids love them too!
god damn. I can’t even imagine what that dude was feeling. absolutely insane. super glad he has his gun with him that day, it’s the only thing that saved his life. because from the sounds of it, the other two people with him never took a shot or tried to.
but I also understand that a bear charging you like that, you don’t have any time to really react. but if the guide says something... i’d be walking with my gun off safe & up to my shoulder, just in case.
love the stories man. if I could afford a guided hunt, i’d definitely love to be guided by you.
Grizzlies & hippo's probably display the same rage.
Hippos in the wild are pretty terrifying.
Thanks 4 sharing the stories.
Great story. I'm going on 42 years old. Just when I think I've seen and heard the stupidest, of,the stupid things,people of this world,have to offer,you go and blow my mind. WHAT in the hell,was this guy thinking?!?! AMAZINGLY stupid! Lol. Anyway,another quality story. Made my Saturday night.👍
Bills Guy poop
In the late 90s Reader's Digest covered a story of a couple who were jogging some trails in the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania. It was a man and his wife and they had decided to try a new trail just after the snow melted in early Spring. The woman was somewhat familiar with the trail but the man wasn't at all. The run was about 10 miles and they had come about 1/2 way when they startled a big boar black bear and it attacked them.
It pretty much did the same thing as the one in Steve's story. It latched onto the guy's buttocks and just flopped him around like a dog with a toy! The wife grabbed a solid chunk of white oak and smacked it in the head several times before it let her husband go and it charged her but she was able to fight back. She hit it many many times and it finally got sick of it and ran off into the woods.
The woman helped her husband get to his feet in sheer agony and the two of them headed deeper down the trails where an abandoned shack was. They made it about 1/2 a mile when the bear came out of nowhere and attacked them again nearly killing the man this time! He suffered severe lacerations all over his back, neck and the skin on the back of his head was nearly ripped clean off and was hanging down the back of his neck! The poor guy was screaming in agony but the woman managed again to fight the bear off of her husband. She ended up dragging him the rest of the way to the cabin and getting a fire going in the fire place and managed to get her jacket and some old blankets that were on the bed and used them to cover husband up. He was already in shock but still aware of his surroundings.
After looking around the cabin she found a hatchet that was used at one time to split the small fire wood for the fire place and she gave it to her husband with the instructions that if the bear came back to hit it in the head as many times as he needed to but to try to kill it. Her husband nodded okay as best he could and by this time he couldn't even speak. She told him that she had to run to get help but that she was gonna be gone a while since it was close to 10 miles back to the Ranger Station where she could use a phone or get a Ranger to help. With that she ran all the way back to the Ranger Station. It had just closed for the day when she got there but the Rangers were coming out of the building and she told them what happened. Two miles to the west of the trail was a private road used for the Rangers to traverse back and forth to get supplies on a certain day so they loaded up guns and first aid and headed down that road towards the cabin but it was still a 2 mile hike through the forest to get to the cabin and they had equipment that they needed to carry with them if the woman's husband had any hope of survival at all.
The three of them jogged the entire distance and just before they got there the bear broke through the wooden door and attacked again this time getting the other cheek and tearing it nearly completely off. It broke the man's back in several places as well from pouncing upon him over and over again. The Rangers and the wife heard him screaming so they knew that the bear was back. The wife was the fastest on foot because she wasn't carrying as much equipment and she got to the cabin first. She managed to get the hatchet and hit the bear in the head and it dug a deep gouge into its forehead. The bear scuttled away in sheer pain and fright and disappeared into the forest once again.
One of the Rangers happened to be a medic so they got him somewhat stabilized and wrapped up much of his wounds and the Ranger ran back to his truck to call for more help. When he got back to the cabin the three of them carried the man back to the truck without incident and managed to get him back to the parking lot a little ways from the Ranger's Station where a life flight chopper landed and whisked the man and his wife into the air and away to the closest hospital. The bear had done so much physical damage to this poor man that the doctors (there were three of them working on him at the same time to keep him alive) spent over 10 hours rebuilding this poor man's body and head! More than 600 sutures later the man was finally out of surgery. Now it would be a matter of time to see if he could pull out of the coma he had slipped into.
Meanwhile the local Sheriff's Department, Forestry Services and the Rangers over that park went bear hunting. The only real damage done to the bear was that head wound with the hatchet so they hoped they could find a blood trail but it proved to be a lesson in futility because it began to rain and it rained for days on end and must have washed away any tracks or tell tale signs of the wounded bear. Still they kept on searching for that dangerous animal even in the cold rain for three more days. at the end of the day the Rangers got a phone call from the wife of the man who was attacked. He had managed to survive and was out of the coma but still couldn't move or talk. He communicated via slight hand signals for yes and no. That was Thursday.
On Friday one of the Rangers said he was going to call a friend who owned a small helicopter and ask if he might go on the look out for the bear. Just one hour into the areal search the big boar was located near the Allegheny River and just a few hundreds yards from a farm. It had attacked and killed a calf, had dragged it off down near the shoreline and was eating it when the two men flew overhead. They called it in and a posse was set up to run the bear to the edge of the river and corner him there and finally kill it. Within a few hours they had succeeded in killing the bear. It was put on a scale and weighed in around 400 pounds ( pretty good size for a relatively young boar!) The Rangers informed the man's wife that they killed the bear and asked her if she wanted it skinned so she could have it for a living room rug. She said "NO!"
Folks, this really happened. I can;t recall all the details like the actual date and where exactly they were in the Allegheny Forest but there are many trails running through that area and I have been on several of them. Trails in that forest run from Kinzua Dam way up in northern Pennsylvania all the way down through Cook's Forest and I think there's several hundred miles of trails going through there total. I have seen some pretty amazing animals in those woods too and have desired to hunt there for a long time but never got the chance. Maybe that was for the better? :)
Geesh, thanks for sharing that story. We used to get Readers Digest. I got a subscription to Field & Stream for my husband years ago. I like them for the stories about bear encounters.
Something I never want to be around.
There was a movie about a young couple who camped on an island in Canada or Northern parts of U.S. where it was restricted- no camping allowed. A bear attacked at night pulling the man out of the tent & eating him alive. The woman escaped. She found the guide whom they'd met early on after a few days of wondering around. Based on a true story.
It's a terrifying thought to get eaten by a bear.
I take my handguns everywhere with me. Anyone that goes into the bear woods without at least one handgun has got a death wish in my not so humble opinion...
I think pistol hunting would be cool to do
I would probably go with a scoped 44 magnum
I agree but i doubt my 9mm would do much to a grizzly going at me full charge. Adrenaline dump is enough to make the aiming hard enough to where you cant get a shot at the right spot and you might just piss it off even more
@@Lazaro-138 well if you hit a few rounds at its face it will probably think twice or even in the legs so it cant move that easily
I live in bear country and you just have to know how to behave. I did have a close call with a mom with cubs(black bear) but being calm and non threatening and not flinching at a false charge. But I know a big grizzly I wouldn’t want to be around.
All of em?
I really like your crazy stories.
Thanks for your time.
One in a million truly must happen to you.
Words of wisdom, my friend, words of wisdom , I almost mess myself just listen to the story.😂 great story 👍⚓️🇺🇸
Love your stories! Love your channel. I hope to keep hearing about your hunts.
Love your bear stories, they make me feel like I'm there.
one of the best story tellers . ... keep them coming steve .... Im not a hunter ..but I do love being in the woods in my jeep wheeler ...
really enjoying your stories but is there anything you can do about the audio only being on the left?
his storys are great could listen to him all day great stuff
I could probably top that. Unfortunately... in short.

Hunting alone-ish
3-point blank shots with my youth model .308
World class black bear.
470lbs on the hook, and 7’5”
Just under 23” skull..
let me know if you want the full story.

Ps, I wasn’t bear hunting. However he was kid hunting lol...taxidermist aged him at 19yrs old.
Supreme Renegade , Got another story for you. Kentucky hillbilly grandmother out running her trapline. Had a pump action 22 rifle filled w 22 shorts for trapline dispatch rifle. Ran into a Grizzly. Was found 2 days later still trapped UNDER the dead fallen bear w 11, 22 short rounds in its brain. She shoved the rifle into its mouth & unloaded all she had. Was madder than hell it took her kin so long to come look for her!
joblo1978 , NO critter is that tough when brain shot. That old hillbilly woman knew her bear anatomy & the roof of a bears mouth is thin & right next to its brain. And in panic mode people are capable of amazing stunts. Super dumps of adrenalin make folks increadably strong/fast.
There are no wild, free ranging grizzly bears in Kentucky.
Dave Jan I’m sorry but, is there somewhere that tells the story first hand? This just doesn’t seem to add up. Not calling you personally a liar, but maybe someone that told you the story twisted it up a little?
Supreme Renegade , I was in my 20s in Kentucky when it was told to me. Im 70 now & the folks from that generation are all dead. Knowing the Kentucky hillbillys, they are brutally honest. Different standards back then. And there WERE grizzlys back then. Did I see it personally? No. But I beleive the story. Thoes folks were tougher than nails. No power, no T.V., no computors. Just real people living HARD real lives. No welfare or social crippling agents. Either work or starve. Hunting, fishing, trapping, bartering & making/selling moonshine was a way of life. Still is in some places. We lived 27 years in remote Alaskan bush. Very similar lifestyles.This "smartphone" is the 1st Ive ever had & still learning how to figure it out. But w my moms passing, Jan/I are going back to the AK bush. Miss our bears & the freedom one cant get in "civilization". And THAT word is NOT complimentary.
Love your stories brother, your stories are better than the hunting videos ✊🏾
Def got a sub from me! Loved this !!!
Will def be listening to a lot more. Safe journeys to you sir.
Thank you for your many great stories/videos. I enjoy every one.
I love your stories!! Keep them coming!
I'm not into hunting but I could listen to this guy all day 😁👍
I live in Montana and we carry just to huckleberry pick. So tracking with idiots I would have one for my protection.
Same here, I'm west of missoula. Carry 454 casull
Cathy, we'd never dream of picking berries without being armed, in AK.
I LOVE THESE BEARS! PLEASE Don't hunt them.
You've gained another subscriber. I love listening to you're hunting adventures and exploits. Keep them coming.
Maybe someday I can go on a hunt with someone with you're years experience.
Amazing story! I cannot even imagine!
This is a real man
You didn't comment on this issue, but it seems to me that your friend, the guide, should be the taker of that bear trophy, no questions asked. Aside from a verbal lashing, the hunter should not be rewarded for that kill, based on the way that hunt went down. His actions were so reckless it's hard to justify. On top of that, the guide's actions (while being mauled!) are incredible, and he is clearly lucky to still be here. So that's my personal opinion. I know you do not comment much, but if you do, I'd like your thoughts on how it sorted out in that case. And thanks for a wild story!
I’ve been waiting for this story!
I have had repeated dreams of being attacked by Grizzlies. Never been in their habitats but I have seen how huge they can get. I could not imagine what it would be like to be in those jaws.
"Nothing displays, or can display true rage like the North American Grizzly Bear" #truth
Hmmm, nothing? I would expect more than a few African guides who hunt lion to disagree, as well as a few individuals who have had the misfortune to be on the receiving end of a tiger attack. I'd be willing to bet that even Steve, if hard pressed, would include the really big cats in the "most terrifying during an all out charge" category, even though he has never experienced one first hand. Love your stuff Steve, best channel out there.
@Redwoodrebelgirl I got that. Trust me. Using ACTUAL experiences with enraged wildlife leads me to put big cats at the top of the " most terrifying when enraged" list. Not that a sow protecting Cubs can't be terrifying, of course they can, but the cats add incredible athleticism beyond the capabilities of any bear. Siberian tigers prey on brown bears.......
@Redwoodrebelgirl nope, it's all good. No worries.
We live in the hidesert of southern California, with big mountains behind us. When my mother was alive, we had mountain lions, Bob cats and brown bears that wandered through our property. These critters would come into the porch of my mother's trailer. She liked to put out pans of water and dry dog food to feed the hungry critters. I told my mother that someday the critters would eat her!!! Wild critters are wild and need to be respected and they don't want to be tamed!!!
Scarey situation! Wouldn't want to be in EVER!!!
Thanks for sharing the story
Yeah, he doesn't reply to any comments.
I don't hunt, but I love the stories. So much respect for the hunters & the prey. Geez.
I will be the first to admit, I would piss myself if a grizzly was attacking me! 💯
From a physiological standpoint things tend to go in slow motion because your brain ramps up its processing power of visual information, it also shuts down its long-term memory, they suspect because the brain is processing for the information faster that you see time as moving slower, just as a fly because of its tiny brain and the small distances between its senses, its brain processes time significantly slower than we do.
Problem is this heightened state generates Heat and the adrenaline damages organs over time, your brain can't maintain this type of processing power so it only happens temporarily when adrenaline rushes. Hence why almost every individual that goes through an extremely traumatic experience says the same thing, it feels like time slows down, and that's most likely because it did. In the sense that your brain was able to capture more information per second
You are by far the BEST gd story teller I've ever seen!!!
I love all your videos and wealth of knowledge man! Keep ‘em coming!
I just found your channel. Like and subscribed. Great story. Thanks brother and God bless you.
Man that's a crazy story! And thanks for telling it like it is! Enjoyed the video
Man, hell of a story scary shit! Grizzly bears ain't no joke.
My wife’s aunt (in her 60s~) was in Yoho NP and split off from the party she started the hike with. At some point she came around a corner and met up with a sow and cubs on a fresh kill. The sow immediately charged and she dropped on her face and tried to cover her head. The sow kept trying to flip her face up but she would just continue the roll until she was face down again. She said the bear chewed on her head just a bit but mainly it was just the claws. The beat left after just mere minutes and took her cubs up the trail. When she felt it was safe she got up and walked out. A ranger who had known her for many years didn’t recognize her because of her facial injuries from the claws. Due to the infections from the dirty claws it was a long recovery. I have utmost respect for that lady’s brass. She insisted that the bear be allowed too survive as it was her fault.
You need to go on Joe Rogen’s podcast. You would have a great new best friend. I’m not a hunter but a fan of your channel. I have a cougar story but that’s another sport . Ha
11:40 the term your thinking of is, enhanced perception. love the vids man your a badass .
That was my first time hearing a hunting story from this man versus the Bigfoot stories I have been viewing. It was just as enjoyable. Wow, if I'd been the guide I'd had that idiot that made the bad shot walking in front. Lol, call me an A-hole,I don't care. He made that bad shot, I'd been doing my job"Guiding" that idiot right along in front to find his wounded surprise. Take note of that!!! Great video.
100% I’d do the same! The farking idiot risked that guides life with his stupidity and arrogance. Also, I noticed no one mentions that poor bear, horrific!!
I know a friend who got pulled out of their tent at night by a grizzly. He was on an elk hunt. Fought it with his knife and drove it off. He was chomped and torn. Then he had to horseback quite far to their vehicles. Once he got to the truck he passed out as the adrenaline wore off. When in the hospital the F&G officer was mad at him for harming the bear. I don't recall if they found the bear dead or as live. He has bad scars on his body that tell the story also. GwinsLodge.com Alaskan cabin rentals online Kenai Peninsula
Probably shouldn't be camping in bear country then. Hope he learned his lesson.
Michael Jordan , Ya! You tell em Mr NO BALLS!! STFU!!!
@@davejan744 if having no balls means I dont get fucked up by a bear sure
Michael Jordan , Means your already dead. Just too stupid to lay down & quit breathing. Life is an adventure! GO LIVE IT!! Anybody can be a "chicken little". (The sky is falling) Shit dude, you only have 1 life. Dont be one of thoes who goes to his grave REGRETTING all the things you DIDNT DO because u let fear be your master.
@@davejan744 why would killing a bear fullfill any dream of mine? A fool's dream is to kill an animal like that. I hunt but I have no need to hunt puma or bear or wolves ever it is not on my bucket list and I question why it would be on someone's.
