Brother, you’ve gotta be the best most animated at telling these stories that I’ve ever met. I REALLY DO appreciate you taking the time to provide these stories they leave me on the edge of my seat. I feel the rush as if i were there myself. You’ve clearly got a gift for communicating this type of stuff. Please Stay safe out there!
I have no doubt these stories are 100% true. The vivid details, and honest emotions tell me this dude is in no way making this up. You are the man sure and would be an honor to meet you. Good luck and thank you.
@O R yeah his stories are very true. He would be called out by fellow guides that know him if he was being dishonest. He's telling these stories on the inner web for a few years. So any of you self ritchous stuck up snobs don't believe him it's because in all actuality it's hard for you to believe it's genuine because you have The ultimate example of boring lives so you wanna spoil it for anyone actually doing something with the Life God blessed The other person with. ;) So kick Rock's snobs.
@O R If u are confident with the veracity of his stories while hunting,&Fishing etc(and from the very little I know about this dude,this is his life).It would appear he spends more time out in the bush than he does in a "urban environment",so why would he make such a thing up&run the risk of people thinking he's nuts and lost the Plot!?What has he to gain, except for losing his"Rep"amongst fellow hunters&guides!! .I'm sure u know more about this world(The Hunting&fishing,outdoors life)than me,but I am well travelled&I've met all kinds of people and he appears quite genuine.
That was probley my favorite story of all stories,about close encounters with a bear,Steve.Thanks for sharing ,I saw the original story a long time ago,and been wanting to save it and could listen to it several times.Never gets old,should be shared by everyone here with hunters and friends, 👍
Thank you, Steve. You ARE the best entertainment on all of RUclips. Outdoor Life magazine's "This Happened to Me" has been around since the early 1940s, your tales would top any thing they've ever printed. Stay safe.
I stumbled onto your channel and listened to your story... I'm hooked! Great story and I'm not even a hunter! I'm 59 yrs. old with stage 4 Cancer laying around everyday all day, so good stories are great therapy!!! Cant wait for more! BE SAFE!!! GOD BLESS!!! (and yes, there is a God that was looking out for you that day! And go ahead and play the macho guy that meant to shoot the bear right between the eyes! What the heck! LOL! GREAT story!)
Dave...i beat cancer, a melanoma that went to my lymph nodes back in '97. Surgery plus chemo for over a year. You know the story, injections 3x a week, sick for 18hrs after each injection. Scared it would spread, but only with God's grace I survived. These stories are great and I'm not a Hunter either, I'm a 70 year old woman that LOVES to research, hear, and read about bears. I even sketch them! I have 5 black bears in my back yard AND a big pack of coywolves picked up on a trail cam. Planning to write a story, and you should do the same. I'm sure with stories you've heard, you can write a really good one. Blessings and prayers Dave! I Will pray for you, promise, Boo
After watching several of your sasquatch videos I had to tell you about my encounters. I mentioned waking up twice in very dark woods with one standing 18 inches away. Both encounters were virtually the same except for the campers. I was there both times, obviously. The first was with my best friend and the second was with his older brother. Yeah it was startling, very much so. Finding out that we were surrounded may have been worse, especially when twice the original number were screaming from close proximity. Approximately twice the original number of screamers in total. The one that was really close was dead silent (vocally) the whole time on both campouts. The only sound it made were it's footfalls as it ran away from me. We couldn't even see the others (the screamers) even though they were quite close. We just knew their numbers doubled from the sound of things. I realized, immediately upon opening my eyes that I would chase it away. I felt safe and empowered by the fact that I was not dieing as I woke up. I was a foot and a half away and I didn't like it. I had to chase it. The damn thing just startled me too much. I'll take both my encounters over your close call with the bear any day. I may have been scared but I wasn't scared shitless. I didn't leave a load in my pants or even skid marks. I think it would have been different with the bear. I honestly think I would have looked like a baby that had dumped two full loads into a diaper. I would have shat my pants big time.
I have listened to so many of your stories.... I don't care what anyone else says... God absolutely loves you Steve! Lol...he has kept you alive for a reason for sure
Wow! What a Story. I had a Really bad nightmare off of Chantix the stop smoking drug about a grizzly bear 🐻 I will still Never forget & listening to your story boy my hair stood up on my arms & on the back of my neck! I found your channel in the beginning of July & I’m so glad I did! I’m a Nw Minnesota girl who grew up 20 miles above Minneapolis back in the 70s & 80s there was hardly anyone around .. maybe 5 families in our neighborhood & it grew to a huge number now but I have had some scary things happen to me in those woods! So glad I found your channel Thank you for all you do! 😉
I definitely agree with you on the shotgun with slugs for wounded dangerous game. Lots of people don't understand how hard slugs hit and how well they transfer energy.
The combination of the incredible stories and your real gift at telling the stories is unmatched, this is real entertainment. There is no doubt they are 100% true. This old hillbilly will stick to small game and white tails. But the bear & other big game stories are fantastic.
I have stumbled upon your videos, and fell in love with the way you tell your stories, you are hysterical!!! Hahahaha. Keep em coming!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Oh, and of course, you have a new subscriber!!!
I am glad to know I am not the only one that can keep every thing in a tight ball till after the shot is fired then have gumby legs and can't get out of the tree. Great story
This was the very first video I watched when I started doing my own hunting. My guy kept saying I wish I had a partner to hunt with so when I no longer Drove semi tractor-trailer. decided I would go ahead and I would get my hunting license. And it's been a wonderful trip with you ever since and that was 7 years ago.
The first time I watched you tell this story, my eyes were so wide with fright, as if it was me in the story as it happened. Best hunt story ever! How about the one when the bear came in to camp, and there were children present? Whoo!
OMG.... Mr. Steve your Spirit Guides definitely guided your bullet... That is the most insane story I have heard you tell us so far... The Legend Lives On ...
Hiya S.I. this is a great spine tingler memory story. I know the H2H crew were their on edges of seats. When you mentioned the adreno dump isn't it wild how all of one's senses are on point? I truly enjoy this story because you came away physically unscathed. Between the eyes! Phahhk Chief, you have angels on your shoulders. Thanks for sharing this. Know everyone that listens to this will love it. Take care & be well. Sincerely, Me. PS: blessings to you and Sarah & family & friends. 8/4/22 07:32. EST NY
Wow, that is a crazy story. I don’t hunt. I just shoot at the range. I started watching your vlog because of the Squach stories. I have come to realize 2 things since I’ve been watching - One- I’m not crazy. You’ll hear my story soon.And two- I think I could enjoy hunting. My husband jokes with the guys at the range that I’m not allowed to come with him anymore. The first time I went with him, I blew a few minds. Thanks for the great stories.
Great story, my adrenaline was pumping just listening and watching you tell how it went down. Couldn't imagine being there!! Awesome. Great shot by the way!!!!
That 'slow motion' thing happened to me once, but i wasn't even in danger. Prepping for a trail ride, waiting for an older woman to mount up, while my horse was drinking, about 15 feet from her horse. She was trying to get her hip to 'work' to get her right leg over (standing up in the left stirrup) when someone went to help, with his arms up. That spooked her horse and he leapt sideways. In very slow motion she fell, ever so slowly, head first onto the concrete and I can't remember another thing until I saw her lying on a bench in the barn... and she was coherent and alive! I can't recall how she got up or where her horse was .... but she was okay!
Jeff Slaven The emphasis is on the word”stories”, this guy honestly reminds me of another bullshitter, Chuck Yeager, former USAF pilot..Not saying all his stories are untrue or manufactured, but he has that tone of embellishment to his voice, the type of guy that begins to believe his own steaming pile of shit after awhile.I was a hunter and fisherman and camper and canoeist for many years so I get the experiences, and I’m not a young kid , as a matter of fact I’m about 10 years older than this guy.I stumbled on this channel after reviewing outdoor gear, he is quite the storyteller.
What a life, this guy Steve is a real bushman, love the stories he's got....keep up the good work Steve and lets take back the world from all the crooks, government that is.
Not even 1/2 way thru your video and I had a huge reality check. I will never get the image of that bear falling out of my head.I cried myself to sleep. Crying again this morning. HEARTBREAKING. Scared to watch your videos now. And I was loving your stories
Listening to your stories I'm all covered with my blanket and I don't know how my husband knows just when to make me jump!! I'm on my laptop and I have the earphones in!! But he'll growl like a bear!! ugh!! LOL
You no scoping Bear killer you and a head shot at that . Fair play glad that one shot worked out , I would like to think I could have done the same . How ever I am sure i would have screamed like a girl and would have had to have had a change of under wear . Still as long as you survive who care if you smell a bit on the way back to camp !!!! .
Love it!! My uncle, while hunting deer, had to take a crap. He found a downed tree and stripped down and sat down. He heard something to his left... Looked over and a black bear was starting to crawl out of his den, only 5' from him. Lucky he kept his gun within reach. He emptied his 30 30 on him, and he fell back into his den. He had a big mess above the ground, and then had to go crawl in the den to get the bear out.
I've watched every decent hunter on youtube and nothing compares. This is no bs. You are the only real deal I've found who isn't after the commercial bs. You will be freaking famous. Get with Rogans producers!
Your explanation of how long that ordeal took " dog ohhghhaf boom"! Reminds me of the craziest driving instance I've been in. I was coming home off a 49 day turbine outage, that's 588 hours at 7 days a week 12 hours a day, that's 33% of the average American workers hours in a year in 13% of a year. And that's not the only outrage i worked that season. So im in the middle of a 13 hour drive and i start nodding off, i think i better pull over and take a nap, and no sooner do I think that then, "ahh ohh eahg"! I fell asleep and woke up headed straight at a light pole and for some reason by the time i could comprehend what happened i was driving straight down the highway. Nod off, wake up looking at death at 65, swerve (over correctly so, more death...) and all the sudden im driving down the highway a mile down from the light pole that almost killed us both. It was like something moved my car from here to there and woke me up in the middle. Like👏
Thanks for the video. Oh my goodness. I just made a comment about hunting with you and I just changed my mind. Let's go fishing instead.... Thanks again for another killer story.
you need to make a bear hunting/attack playlist on your channel so people can just go right to them, instead of having to search and search and search through your videos. I like the bigfoot stories but your beard stories are phenomenal!!!!! PLEASE MAKE PLAYLIST cause I know I'm missing a bunch of them
What is the purpose for killing these bears if your not going to harvest the meat? Is it considered to be population control by the Game Wardens or what? Are you doing it for the head mount or is it for the sheer thrill of the kill itself? I do not condon shooting wild animals for the trophy mounts but if to kill them to harvest the meat then that is something else. Can anyone explain this to me without being sarcastic but honest.
For some people it's the thrill of the hunt, not even the kill so much as the stalking. Some folks really like bear meat although I don't. Hunting seasons are obviously partially for population control, but with predators it really seems that hunting them instills a healthy fear of man in them. In places where bears and wolves aren't hunted they're often very very bold around people which can lead to tragic results for them and us. If a wild animal kills a human it's almost always killed by the authorities (with some exceptions of course). Then you have a dead bear and a dead human. Better than bears fear man; it's healthier for both species.
@@robbabcock_ good explanation but what about the bears that roam the mountains like in Manitoba Canada and they are far away from people roads and towns just doing what bears do in the wild? Man hires a bush pilot to fly them into these remote areas that are so remote that you have to pipe sunshine in, and they stalk the bear kill it and then just take the head and leave everything else behind. Is that reality for keeping the wild bears away from people, towns and other areas that people tend to be at? I can accept some wildlife control methods but not when the bear lives in an area that is so far remote that the bear might see a native indian once in a blue moon. I understand your point, but try to understand mine.
I was just speaking in general terms, @@janhollon3078 . Personally I don't hunt. I used to hunt with my dad but he passed sever summers ago; I have little interest in hunting without him. As you say I can appreciate hunting for meat, and to some degree for the challenge. But while I don't think it's wrong to hunt I personally don't much like it anymore. Over the years I've gotten a little too 'soft'. Obviously I eat meat but I'm a bit too soft-hearted to kill it myself. Still, the amount of tags is limited and the amount of bears taken poses no danger to the population levels. Hard to say how much contact the bears have with humans. Just from hunting and spending a lot of time in the woods I think animals can sense a predator. If you are actively hunting an animal and the they can see or hear you I think their survival instinct allows them to recognize that they're being hunted. It's hard to explain animal behavior in any other way; they seem to be able to sense your intentions through your body language and movements.
Wow Steve I met a guy who I thought was a war veteran who had been injured in the war because the man was a walking scar! I approached him and asked him what part of the war he served and by his age I I figured Afghanistan or Iraq or something along those lines! Well he turned to me and asked me why I asked and I told him that I couldn't help but to notice all of his scars! Turns out that he was a veteran but the scars weren't from his time in the marines but a bear attack! He ran into a very big mother black bear who attacked him because she had her Cubs with her! This wasn't even a Grizzlie but a black bear! Long story short it kept repeatedly attacking him until he finally got his pistol out and he said that after he put the whole clip in her chest she finally collapsed on top of him! His legs were tore up so he couldn't walk and he only had one good arm left! He was hunting deer and hadn't seen any all day and when he came down out of his stand he loaded his rifle into the case and he turned around to walk out of the woods right in front of him were two Cubs as Big as a rottweiler so then he started to open up his case because he didn't know where the mother was it turned out that the mother had already seen him and snuck around the back of him in a ditch and came up out of the ditch and attacked him! He had one leg shattered and the other the ligaments were chewed! One of his arms he almost lost! That was only a black bear I couldn't even imagine what kind of damage a Grizzlie bear in the same situation would have done! In Louisiana we rarely ever see a black bear but the couple of times I've seen one I go way out of the way to avoid any contact with the creatures because one they were hunted to extinction here at one point and 2 I would rather not have to shoot one unless I have to! Just heard this yesterday and wanted to share!!!!!
I'd love to hear the story but the audio is failing. There seems to be background noise but can't hear talking. Anyone else having this issue. I can play any other YT video and it's fine.
Dude I really love your videos , thank you! However this time you have some background music ,it's rather distracting to me I don't know if anybody else has complained about it but I just thought I'd throw that out there for you. appreciate all the hard work you do , I'm probably just getting old ,LOL
Never been bear hunting. During emergency been through the 'slow mo' several times. Cool as a cucumber during crisis. 5 mins later I start to shake in panic over what might have happened. I get it.
Back in the day all my shots were taken in thick thick bush. Later my shots were in much thinner, or more spotty bush. Ever since the Brazilian, there has been no bush in sight.
Sounds authentic to me. Not sure why he would lie. If you’re in those areas hunting that long no way you don’t come into a similar scenario. Be glad you have this video to give you some pointers. Burden of proof is on anyone claiming its false.
OK! Thank you for that nugget of insight at 14:40, I'm a newer hunter and that confirms my suspicion about my first shot I ever took on a Coyote. Blood Trailed him 250+ yds down into a Ravine, inside a Scrub Oak, then back up and out of that Ravine. It befuddled me too because the shot made him barrel-roll mid-air from standing still and dropped him to the ground. (I believe the shot probably entered above his spine where the phalanges of the spine raise up by his shoulders, it was a quick jump-shot opportunity so not the best aiming) Then he laid there sorta wallowing like he was as good as dead for several seconds, then Son of a B if he didn't then get back up to his feet.. look at me, then run off!
Man I can listen you all day, I think listening to you is just as good as watching a good movie.
Brother, you’ve gotta be the best most animated at telling these stories that I’ve ever met. I REALLY DO appreciate you taking the time to provide these stories they leave me on the edge of my seat.

He has pictures and videos
Your damn right these are actual bear stories dude!!!!! Steve's an actual hunting guide.
@O R yeah his stories are very true. He would be called out by fellow guides that know him if he was being dishonest. He's telling these stories on the inner web for a few years.

@O R If u are confident with the veracity of his stories while hunting,&Fishing etc(and from the very little I know about this dude,this is his life).It would appear he spends more time out in the bush than he does in a "urban environment",so why would he make such a thing up&run the risk of people thinking he's nuts and lost the Plot!?What has he to gain, except for losing his"Rep"amongst fellow hunters&guides!!
.I'm sure u know more about this world(The Hunting&fishing,outdoors life)than me,but I am well travelled&I've met all kinds of people and he appears quite genuine.

Joe Rogan needs this dude on his podcast.
Fuck joe rogan. Hes getting brain dead from smoking dope
Agreed!
Joe Rogan mocks Sasquatch, so he won't go on his show
Rogan was a believer until they stuck a tumb up his ass or was it a shroom
Yep!
After watching several of your sasquatch videos I had to tell you about my encounters. I mentioned waking up twice in very dark woods with one standing 18 inches away. Both encounters were virtually the same except for the campers. I was there both times, obviously. The first was with my best friend and the second was with his older brother.

Well it’s been 4 1/2 years since this heart of yours but man I had a great time listening to your story Tellin‼️‼️🤓
Master storyteller! This is the best hunting adventure story! No one could tell it better!
That 'slow motion' thing happened to me once, but i wasn't even in danger. Prepping for a

from her horse. She was trying to get her hip to 'work' to get her right leg over (standing up in

Your imitation of a bear spiraling about getting shot is uncanny. I will call you *Spinning Bears*
Second hand adrenaline fix! Would love to share a camp fire some night and just listen. Take care.
love your stories, listen to them late at night
Survival mode kicked in glad your ok great story
Cool video great filming I love the music good editing super intro I liked the video for ya I love you story it was so cool.
You have the best stories and tell them so well.. I could never go back to television. thanx for sharing..Glad you're a skilled hunter.
I would love to drink whiskey with you one day in a log cabin and hear all of your stories. They are always great!
Butt buddies with the reach'o round?
You left yourself wide open with that one. A bar would have been alot better choice of words
Like with a fire going and it snowing outside but we have gf with us.
Sounds romantic
Jeff Slaven The emphasis is on the word”stories”, this guy honestly reminds me of another bullshitter, Chuck Yeager, former USAF pilot..Not saying all his stories are untrue or manufactured, but he has that tone of embellishment to his voice, the type of guy that begins to believe his own steaming pile of shit after awhile.I was a hunter and fisherman and camper and canoeist for many years so I get the experiences, and I’m not a young kid , as a matter of fact I’m about 10 years older than this guy.I stumbled on this channel after reviewing outdoor gear, he is quite the storyteller.
Glad I found your channel this winter instead of spring or summer.
Listened to this story again this morning. Still an exciting story.
You have the best bear stories!
What a life, this guy Steve is a real bushman, love the stories he's got....keep up the good work Steve and lets take back the world from all the crooks, government that is.
Pucker Factor level : Extreme
Not even 1/2 way thru your video and I had a huge reality check. I will never get the image of that bear falling out of my head.I cried myself to sleep. Crying again this morning. HEARTBREAKING. Scared to watch your videos now. And I was loving your stories
Melody Cooper, put on your big girl panties and grow up.
These Bear stories are fantastic!!!!!!
“I swear on my horses lives....” That’s cute. Goes to show how much Steve Loves his horses.
Listening to your stories I'm all covered with my blanket and I don't know how my husband knows just when to make me jump!! I'm on my laptop and I have the earphones in!! But he'll growl like a bear!! ugh!! LOL
You no scoping Bear killer you and a head shot at that . Fair play glad that one shot worked out , I would like to think I could have done the same . How ever I am sure i would have screamed like a girl and would have had to have had a change of under wear . Still as long as you survive who care if you smell a bit on the way back to camp !!!! .
😨=😅😃🤣😂 I'd done the same ( bring extra undies!) I say undies cause I'm a woman.
nathan whitworth I'd love to see you guys shit your pants !
Love it!! My uncle, while hunting deer, had to take a crap. He found a downed tree and stripped down and sat down. He heard something to his left... Looked over and a black bear was starting to crawl out of his den, only 5' from him. Lucky he kept his gun within reach. He emptied his 30 30 on him, and he fell back into his den. He had a big mess above the ground, and then had to go crawl in the den to get the bear out.
Listening to these stories is like coming across the movie Jaws on TV, I just can’t not watch it. These stories are GOLD!
Thanks for another story Steve.
I've watched every decent hunter on youtube and nothing compares. This is no bs. You are the only real deal I've found who isn't after the commercial bs. You will be freaking famous. Get with Rogans producers!
You should have way more subs! Awsome stories man
Glad your still here to tell the story brother!!!
Keep these up. So good
Your explanation of how long that ordeal took " dog ohhghhaf boom"! Reminds me of the craziest driving instance I've been in. I was coming home off a 49 day turbine outage, that's 588 hours at 7 days a week 12 hours a day, that's 33% of the average American workers hours in a year in 13% of a year. And that's not the only outrage i worked that season. So im in the middle of a 13 hour drive and i start nodding off, i think i better pull over and take a nap, and no sooner do I think that then, "ahh ohh eahg"! I fell asleep and woke up headed straight at a light pole and for some reason by the time i could comprehend what happened i was driving straight down the highway. Nod off, wake up looking at death at 65, swerve (over correctly so, more death...) and all the sudden im driving down the highway a mile down from the light pole that almost killed us both. It was like something moved my car from here to there and woke me up in the middle. Like👏
Thanks for the video.
Oh my goodness. I just made a comment about hunting with you and I just changed my mind. Let's go fishing instead.... Thanks again for another killer story.
Love these stories! Keepem comin’
you need to make a bear hunting/attack playlist on your channel so people can just go right to them, instead of having to search and search and search through your videos. I like the bigfoot stories but your beard stories are phenomenal!!!!! PLEASE MAKE PLAYLIST cause I know I'm missing a bunch of them
I just looked on Wikipedia a list of people killed by bears over the years and not one of them reported was a hunter from a wounded bear
MORE BEAR STORIES! ! !
I bet that adrenaline rush lasted for months
"Lucky to be alive",no shit! Haha. Great stories man! #Subscribed
he didnt aim he was in slow motion my guy you just went ultra instinct
DAMN EXCITING STORIES.
I enjoyed the story. This is the reason I subscribed to your channel.
What is the purpose for killing these bears if your not going to harvest the meat? Is it considered to be population control by the Game Wardens or what? Are you doing it for the head mount or is it for the sheer thrill of the kill itself? I do not condon shooting wild animals for the trophy mounts but if to kill them to harvest the meat then that is something else. Can anyone explain this to me without being sarcastic but honest.
For some people it's the thrill of the hunt, not even the kill so much as the stalking. Some folks really like bear meat although I don't. Hunting seasons are obviously partially for population control, but with predators it really seems that hunting them instills a healthy fear of man in them. In places where bears and wolves aren't hunted they're often very very bold around people which can lead to tragic results for them and us. If a wild animal kills a human it's almost always killed by the authorities (with some exceptions of course). Then you have a dead bear and a dead human. Better than bears fear man; it's healthier for both species.
@@robbabcock_ good explanation but what about the bears that roam the mountains like in Manitoba Canada and they are far away from people roads and towns just doing what bears do in the wild? Man hires a bush pilot to fly them into these remote areas that are so remote that you have to pipe sunshine in, and they stalk the bear kill it and then just take the head and leave everything else behind. Is that reality for keeping the wild bears away from people, towns and other areas that people tend to be at? I can accept some wildlife control methods but not when the bear lives in an area that is so far remote that the bear might see a native indian once in a blue moon. I understand your point, but try to understand mine.
I was just speaking in general terms, @@janhollon3078 . Personally I don't hunt. I used to hunt with my dad but he passed sever summers ago; I have little interest in hunting without him. As you say I can appreciate hunting for meat, and to some degree for the challenge. But while I don't think it's wrong to hunt I personally don't much like it anymore. Over the years I've gotten a little too 'soft'. Obviously I eat meat but I'm a bit too soft-hearted to kill it myself.
Still, the amount of tags is limited and the amount of bears taken poses no danger to the population levels.
Hard to say how much contact the bears have with humans. Just from hunting and spending a lot of time in the woods I think animals can sense a predator. If you are actively hunting an animal and the they can see or hear you I think their survival instinct allows them to recognize that they're being hunted. It's hard to explain animal behavior in any other way; they seem to be able to sense your intentions through your body language and movements.
Yes, agree.
Yellow Cab you eat elk you moron
Man I love the way you tell stories keep em coming
Wow Steve I met a guy who I thought was a war veteran who had been injured in the war because the man was a walking scar! I approached him and asked him what part of the war he served and by his age I I figured Afghanistan or Iraq or something along those lines! Well he turned to me and asked me why I asked and I told him that I couldn't help but to notice all of his scars! Turns out that he was a veteran but the scars weren't from his time in the marines but a bear attack! He ran into a very big mother black bear who attacked him because she had her Cubs with her! This wasn't even a Grizzlie but a black bear! Long story short it kept repeatedly attacking him until he finally got his pistol out and he said that after he put the whole clip in her chest she finally collapsed on top of him! His legs were tore up so he couldn't walk and he only had one good arm left! He was hunting deer and hadn't seen any all day and when he came down out of his stand he loaded his rifle into the case and he turned around to walk out of the woods right in front of him were two Cubs as Big as a rottweiler so then he started to open up his case because he didn't know where the mother was it turned out that the mother had already seen him and snuck around the back of him in a ditch and came up out of the ditch and attacked him! He had one leg shattered and the other the ligaments were chewed! One of his arms he almost lost! That was only a black bear I couldn't even imagine what kind of damage a Grizzlie bear in the same situation would have done! In Louisiana we rarely ever see a black bear but the couple of times I've seen one I go way out of the way to avoid any contact with the creatures because one they were hunted to extinction here at one point and 2 I would rather not have to shoot one unless I have to! Just heard this yesterday and wanted to share!!!!!
That was the best story I have heard for a very long time. Way to go !
So knowledgable...... I need to go afield and need someone like you to keep me safe and alive...money no object... Joe
I'd love to hear the story but the audio is failing. There seems to be background noise but can't hear talking. Anyone else having this issue. I can play any other YT video and it's fine.
I heard it fine...not sure what's up???
Once again I'm entranced by the story.....the wind moved a branch to his right and I about had a heart attack. 😳.
that's an amazing story.
Dude I really love your videos ,
thank you!
However this time you have some background music ,it's rather distracting to me I don't know if anybody else has complained about it but I just thought I'd throw that out there for you.
appreciate all the hard work you do ,
I'm probably just getting old ,LOL
Man your stories are freaking awesome. Great channel brother.
🐻 Even a grizzly would stop his charge and sit down around a camp fire with you and listen to this man's stories off your smartphone. 🔥
I have been watching your videos in like forever, THIS is the First time I have seen you in a different coat.
WHO ARE YOU!?!?!??!?!?
Man your story tellin is superb, very entertaining Sir.
Never been bear hunting. During emergency been through the 'slow mo' several times. Cool as a cucumber during crisis. 5 mins later I start to shake in panic over what might have happened. I get it.
OMG! THATS CRAZY! YOU DO HAVE A GUARDIAN ANGEL!
Back in the day all my shots were taken in thick thick bush. Later my shots were in much thinner, or more spotty bush. Ever since the Brazilian, there has been no bush in sight.
A few beers and a camp fire. Can you say never a dull moment. Even if the stories were not real you got to believe this guy.
Sounds authentic to me. Not sure why he would lie. If you’re in those areas hunting that long no way you don’t come into a similar scenario. Be glad you have this video to give you some pointers. Burden of proof is on anyone claiming its false.
Love your stories, thanks.
OK! Thank you for that nugget of insight at 14:40, I'm a newer hunter and that confirms my suspicion about my first shot I ever took on a Coyote. Blood Trailed him 250+ yds down into a Ravine, inside a Scrub Oak, then back up and out of that Ravine. It befuddled me too because the shot made him barrel-roll mid-air from standing still and dropped him to the ground. (I believe the shot probably entered above his spine where the phalanges of the spine raise up by his shoulders, it was a quick jump-shot opportunity so not the best aiming) Then he laid there sorta wallowing like he was as good as dead for several seconds, then Son of a B if he didn't then get back up to his feet.. look at me, then run off!
No!!! I can't stand those majestic beauties being killed 😢
Stephanie Askew amen
Then why dont you go live with them and protect them from us hunters, it will help all of us
Brock Siler How intelligent and brawny
don’t watch hunting videos then and go back to eating animals pumped with chemicals
Gabriel_Knutson 2005 hate GMO. Natural grass fed is the way to go
Love these hunting stories - thanks Steve
