As Ken tugged and slashed at the entrails of the moose, the odors from the offal of the animal permeated the air. It didn’t help that the stand of trees the moose collapsed within provided a very limited field of view.
Usually, when a hunter is dressing a game animal in bear country, his hunting partner should position himself at an elevated position with as clear a view as possible. I could find no source that indicated where Jon was in relation to Ken and the moose carcass, but the events that unfolded next would have been very difficult to anticipate.
With all of Ken’s attention on the moose carcass, Jon saw a huge grizzly bear bolt from the nearby scrub pines. It only had to cover a few yards to reach Ken having so stealthily crept upon him. Jon was powerless to react as the bear ran up to Ken. With a single swipe of its massive paw, it sent Ken flying. Before Novotny could hit the ground the grizzly spun on its heels, as if it was surprised to see people instead of other bears.
The grizzly had disappeared into the brush by the time Jon could make his way to Novotny. The width of the grizzly's paws imparted crushing force over the length of Ken’s skull. He had no chance at survival and died instantly from the bear's only paw swipe.
Jon was not hurt by the bear and now had to find a way to contact authorities so they could reclaim Ken’s corpse. It isn’t clear whether he used a cell phone or a satellite phone, but somehow he reached out to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police about 9:30 PM, that night.
The mounties rounded up the coroner and wildlife officials but were prevented from accessing the location due to inclement weather. The following morning, Thursday, September 15th, the investigation into the fatal grizzly mauling of Ken Novotny was initiated.
One of the first steps investigators do on fatal bear attacks is to exclude foul play. Ken’s injuries were clearly done by a bear. Foul play was ruled out, and now they knew they had a mankiller on their hands.
As Ken’s attack site was analyzed and his corpse removed, a search for the grizzly was undertaken. Hunting a grizzly bear is a little like looking for a needle in a needle stack. It is risky, especially when you know the grizzly you are hunting has already killed a man.
By Saturday, September 17th the canvassing turned up an ill-tempered grizzly the investigators considered to be the likely aggressor in Ken’s death. They shot the grizzly and DNA from its carcass was compared to evidence from Ken’s attack site. They killed the grizzly that had taken Ken’s life and removed the potential for it to kill or injure anyone else.
The Northwest Territories are home to an estimated population of 4,000 to 5,000 grizzly bears with most of those living in the Mackenzie and Richardson Mountains. Four people have been killed in bear attacks there since 1998.
After reviewing the facts surrounding this episode, I have a few questions for you. Do you think this grizzly was a dinner bell bear, or did it follow its nose to Ken’s location? Was the bear surprised when it found people at the moose carcass or did it know the hunters were there? Why did the bear flee after the fatal swipe on Novotny? How could Jon have been better prepared for a grizzly to appear so suddenly? I will gladly read and reply to your thoughts, so post them in the comments section below, and let’s talk about it!

Thank you for another great storie. They just keep you on your toes while listening.
Thanks! A bear's swipe can have the force of 7,000-25,000 pounds, which is more than five times stronger than a professional boxer. A Kodiak grizzly bear can hit with a swipe of up to 1,900 psi, which is more than 10 times more powerful than the force that can kill a human. A bear's swipe is like being hit by a baseball bat that weighs over 200 pounds.
Thank you so much for this info !
5 boxers hit a moose back together wont even dent the mooses back while the bear can break its back with one swipe. So it definitely has more power then 5 measly boxers infact they'll all break their hands knowing how strong and large a moose spine is
I own the factory that makes The Bear Smash meter you use to make those measurements.
@@JohnnyDanger36963 You can thank Artificial Intelligence because that's where I got the info.
Way cool! 😎@@JohnnyDanger36963
Is it just me, or do these hunters really think they can just kill a moose, and not have every bear within a couple miles not come running? It's especially annoying when they think they can come back the next day and recover more meat....no....and no....
Hunters Do It All The Time And Have For A Very Long Time.
Also, Hunters Leave Moose, Elk, Or Parts Of Them Over Night & Come Back The Following Day For The Meat ALL The Time. A Very Common Practice With Animals Of Such Size. So, YES. We Hunters Really Think We Can Just Kill A Moose, And Not Have Every Bear Come Running. Infact, We Know So.
BUT, That Doesn't Mean WE Don't Think About & Prepare For. Be Cause Although Rare, It Has Happend.
You are absolutly WRIGHT , All over the world , in the last undemaged sanctuaries of Wildlife , and Apex Predators are living , all the prey should be for their hunting , not for humans. The Nature Will select and balance every spices. Leave Wildlife Alone
We learn from our own experiences
@@scorpio7927 This Is an ignorant and Dangerous way of reasoning , without a minimum Respect of Natural s rules. In the last undemaged Wildlife Habitat , with Apex Predators, the prey should be leave to them , and the Natural Selection .
@@monicabolognini7962there was a reason we got rid grizzlies once already !!!!!
It was a dinner bell bear, one conditioned to hearing a shot and coming in for the reward.
The grizzly only did what was natural for a large predator to do. Honestly feel bad that it had to be killed. Rip to the hunter
Stop stealing bear food
Hunted bears try to steer clear of humans !!!!!!
I honestly think Atticus's stories have made me obsessed with Bears. 😊 I can't wait for the next episode. 🐾🐾🐾
This is just another example of the unpredictability of bears. I have no idea why a bear that seemed to understand that a gunshot promises a meal would turn and run after killing a hunter. And why was the bear still in the area but did not come back that night to claim the kills?
There was no mention that the 2nd hunter had any more problems, although he must have had a very long nervous night waiting for the RCMP.
Well just goes to show you that you dont hunt any big critter without a minimum of 4 people. Anyone I fly into Alaska I make sure of that. Nah why nervous night? I would have gone away from the moose and let the wolves, wolverine and bear come back and fight each other for the dead moose. Yes I live in Alaska and YES I have seen this happen before
So many of these hunters have been killed during the dressing of their kill! This is the time when they should be on their highest alert. So sad he lost his life RIP 🙏❤️ thank you Addicus
NW Territory grizzlies may behave differently but here in the Flathead Valley of NW Montana, grizzlies will avoid people if they can and people can avoid grizzlies by staying away from the bears’ preferred places during each season. Given their phenomenal sense of smell, I believe the bear was irresistibly drawn to the blood scent of the downed moose. Furthermore, I believe he was surprised to find people nearby, which explains why he bolted back into the forest. Fall hunts for big ungulates in grizzly country is a risky “roll of the dice.” Ken crapped out, on his last roll.
No Henry its simply not possible to predict a browns behavior. These two basically dumb hunters had it coming
I think it heard the shot but didn’t necessarily react to it. It then followed its nose to the dead moose. If it wasn’t a dinner bell bear before, it would have become one after this. It was surprised and offended that there was someone, anyone, near “its” claimed moose carcass.
Well where I live East Region of Alaska we for sure have dinner bell bears and any hunters i fly in I make sure they got minimum of 4 people
I remember this happening, I live in Memphis and I never knew all the details, thanks for filling in the blanks,
Love from Memphis!!
Memphis has the most awesome BBQ place from Omaha to KCMO to Oklahoma City to Memphis. Not a fancy joint at all. But the food ....was nuclear....blowing away all BBQ the past 60 years. Think I still have it bookmarked in my Google Maps.
@@LuvBorderCollies I believe that have the absolute best BBQ in the country, from dry to sloppy wet,I have an idea of the place you are talking about and a lot of folks have bookmarked it
I’m In Memphis too n I don’t even remember hearing about this 🤷🏼♀️
Wow!!! Poor man didnt stand a chance
yeah, and he has become the hunted.
great story telling❤️
I think bears know when they hear shots they think easy food. Thank you for sharing ❤your channel
I agree this seems to be an example of a "Dinner Bell Bear" I don't think this was predatory behavior. More of an example of an apex predator taking a kill from any other predator. Still a sad case.
Well could be either. Maybe this bear was stalking the moose long before the hunters had it. OR maybe it was just in the area where it was shot. browns behavior impossible to predict
@@JimRibby Rough Legged Hawks and Golden Eagles will nowhere in sight of 30 miles. After 30 to 45 minutes of firing shots at prairie dogs, suddenly the huge birds would be circling overhead. Even if you're the fastest hawk to the prairie dog, the Golden Eagles have dibs by size alone. But there was fights between eagles at times.
I wonder how long it was after the shot until the bear arrived? It seems to be a short amount of time. If so, this was DEFINITELY a dinner bell bear.
A basketball sized heart ? Not anywhere that large - more like a large grapefruit. Let’s be realistic !
Dang, idk what could've been done differently in such a sudden and close attack. Idk if his hunting partner even had time to process what was going on and get a shot off at the bear if it was only a few yards away.
If his partner who lived continues hunting, I suspect he will be a lot more on guard for a bear going forward.
I think the bear smelled it for sure, idk if it was a dinner bell bear since it seemed surprised to see humans there, and then left without fighting for the moose.
The northwest territories are large and not heavily populated. I don't think the hunter who shot the moose realized how wild and untamed it truly is up there. Or like so many others, just didn't think something bad would happen to him.
Bears are a wild card. You might get lucky 99% of the time, but then again you might be one of the unlucky ones who's number is up.
I'm sorry for his family and friends, but at least it was fast and he didn't get eaten alive, and die slowly and painfully.
And yes, Moose are enormous animals, if you haven't seen one up close, it's hard to appreciate just how huge they really are. 😳 A pissed off moose is also a dangerous animal indeed.
Great story, but with a sad ending for both the man and the bear, who likely never had a problem with humans before, living in such a remote area.
I suppose if the friend was at a vantage point that bear may not have been able to sneak up as close as it did.
@@mr.thammisses6119that’s my thought too. You can’t pretend you’re in your gated community.
I totally agree, but if I remember correctly, there was thick brush which concealed the bear until it was very close. We all can pick their actions apart and find the flaws from a place of time & safety. But I honestly can't say for sure what i would do because I would be very surprised if I didn't hear the bear approach, and even if I did, I'd probably be very startled, not to mention terrified by having a bear so close. 😳
I want to believe I would react fast and shoot true but I just don't know because it's never happened to me.
I worked for decades as an RN and honestly, I can say it's 2nd nature for me to jump in when someone is sick, bleeding or injured.
But it's not 2nd nature to anticipate a bear attack, I mean how do you practice for that, except be the best shooter you can be and hope you react fast enough. And I don't get to target practice as much as I would like to.
I also think it's easy to get complacent when you spend years in the wild, and nothing ever happened. You don't forget, but it's not easy to be on guard every moment when you're in the woods. No one has their rifle to their eye, ready to shoot, every second. It's just not logical or reasonable to be in that state of heightened awareness, every moment.
I hope that makes sense, I do think they should have had a 3rd person, 2 ppl to deal with field dressing an animal as large as a moose, and 1 person who is completely focused on watching for predators.
When many hunters go for big brown bears like on Kodiak, they often have 3 people there, all armed with powerful rifles just in case. But it's not always possible.
Just my honest thoughts, not trying to disagree in any way with the valid points you both made. 👍
I don't think anyone goes into the woods, expecting to be attacked by a bear, unless they are hunting them.
When you think of the millions and millions of ppl just in North America who spent time in the woods and never have any issues, it's not hard to see how these things happen, and the people seem to be caught off guard.
My grandfather, father and both brothers were/are all avid deer, turkey and some small game hunters in PA's woods (and other states), and none of them ever had an issue with any of the many thousands of black bears in our woods. We grew up exploring the woods and never had issues. Of course it CAN and does happen, and we all know it, but when it never has, it's easy to not think about.
I honestly worry more about 2 legged predators than 4 legged ones. And I still live across the back road from the woods.
Just a few weeks ago my grown son was outside at dusk and he heard a large animal crashing through the woods across the back road from us, as it was getting dark.
I've told him he should join the gun club with me so at least he is familiar with my weapons. He never seemed very interested until that night. He got his butt right into the house, I think he believes me now that it's a solid plan. 😂👍
Is there any Moose Territory that is without Bears? Maybe parts of the lower 48? Idk, is greedy to go for a big moose in Grizz land? Not a hunter here. But, fish. Alaska would have similar dangers.
Pretty sad they killed the bear, the bear was doing what bears do, leave them the fuck alone and stay out of their habitat. What the point in killing a moose, especially if you're going to waste all the meat? Leave them alone as well. I am sure moose meat is available for purchase. FAFO. I've got more sympathy for the moose and bear then the prideful dumb asses wandering into their habitat to kill a moose they can't possibly manage to get to civilization and these dumb asses, both the guide and "hunter" should never have been in the woods if they did not know what to expect or even how to handle it, serves them right. Bear did not eat the hunter he slapped down, had no taste of human blood, no reason to kill a bear, even if the bear did kill and eat the hunter, what the fuck, that's what grizzly bears do. Don't want to get eaten or killed by a bear, stay the FUCK out of their habitat.
Always be prepared at a kill site for large predators to come. This same scenario has been seen more than I can remember. Animals are not stupid.
Poor animals are tired of foreigners taking their food
Better to be in an open area where you have time to react less risk.
When we go moose or elk hunting up near Yellowstone, I am always skittish. I am not as worried about black bears for some reason and will walk right up to them, but there is something about griz that make me very cautious! Adventure Bravely!
@@scarybearattacks Game calls effective for calling in Elk & Moose...also Bears - beware⚠
On Kodiak the bears have been conditioned to a dinner bell response, but this area is so huge and so few people that it is unlikely the bear have much experience with gunshot sounds and associate them with free food. Also the Kodiak bears used to wait for the humans to finish gutting their kill and leave but have since learned they can bully the humans away.
Alaska Pilot here. Kodiak bear, brown brown they all act the same way. Unpredictable. You best have at least 4 people when hunting big critters

Thank you
Seems the bear was only claiming an easy meal and only swatted the man once before running away. I don't think I would have tracked and killed the bear. If the bear had entered an area with plenty of humans, that's one thing. But the bear was way out by himself and the human entered the bears domain.
Exactly!

I don't think they should have killed that bear he didn't try to eat him or even come back to try to eat him and he got scared and swiped his paw and ran off
I agree
@@LindaBarhamWhen they associate humans with food, they become even more dangerous.
@@brookswade5774it is thejr territory and not a place where humans venture other than to hunt
@@arthurbrumagem3844 Exactly. So why kill a bear for swatting a human. If he had stayed to eat the person, I can see it. If we wander in their home, we have to be careful.
@@brookswade5774 yep. We don’t try and kill sharks after they kill someone, even if it were possible to pick out the right one
I dont think they should have killed the bear. It wasnt on a rampage or hungry or it wouldnt have just swiped and ran. It was in its own territory. 😢

Hiring a guide doesn't guarantee safely harvesting game. For two people to pack out meat from such a remote area is very risky.

I don't think he was a man killer or he would have not taken off one swipe that's amazing😎
That’s a fact ! I agree
A grizzly can take down an adult elk with one swipe.

Or a moose
It's rare for a grizzly to kill humans, no way to predict that.
So rare there are literally channels on you tube dedicated to attacks and deaths caused by both black and grizzly bears. Thank you Timothy Treadwell.
It's not rare my friends happens all the time in Alaska, especially when you got dumb hunters like these
If bears killing people was extremely rare this channel and other channels like this wouldn't exist. When you enter bear county you are just as likely to end up their prey as the animals that they naturally prey on. It just depends how hungry they are and how unlucky you are and that's ALL that it is. Most bears are afraid of people but most is very far from being all.
@@joshuahull9982 I live in East Region of Alaska. Having animal troubles is like you have your neighbors dogs being annoying. I make my living flying hunters and fisherman from Anchorage into whatever place they want to be.. So YES I love a channel like this to have hunters come, but do NOT come until your really ready to be here. Putting on boots and grabbing the shotgun, no matter day or time of the year SHOULD be as normal here LIKE people who live in mainstates grab your shoes and/or maybe be even barefooot before you go outside..
So I WANT it know just HOW dangerous bears are. Let the truth be know.
# 1 Polar Bears are to be SHOT ON SIGHT, if you see one because as soon as they see you they coming right at you to kill you. NO Question.
# 2 Browns , aka Grizzley, aka Kodiak bears are the second most dangerous. So long as they hear or see you coming then in MOST cases run off, but Not Always. See hear is where the problems or issues occur.
Bear ARE SMART. They have learned what hunters are and to follow knowing they might get a free meal. IF your in the place they are and they do not hear you approach they might just turn right and attack or might get scared and run off.
#3 Blacks are for the most part not going to come at people and run off. UNLESS its a mom with cubs and you get inbetween. Then you will have trouble.
When in the wilderness you should never go out to someplace without a gun on you. Its just basic common sense. I have never been South of Alaska to a big city. Im sure I wouldnt know how to act and what to do and what not to do. You would find MY behavior very funny no doubt. What can I say?
In conclusion. Im an Air Taxi Pilot. I earn my living flying people in and out of anyplace. So PLEASE COME to the Alaskan wilderness to hunt and fish, but please know what to do.
@joshuahull9982 4 people a year are killed by bears, that's not an epidemic.
Hunters can be stupid. When they think it won't happen to them. It's very dangerous to hunt in bear country.
I enjoyed this episode very much Addicus gteat story telling too!! Touch base later were hungry!!!🌶️🌶️🌶️
I enjoy your videos because of your knowledge of all the elements is expert. You were a specialist. Everyone may disagree and I’ve said it before. It’s just luck whether you get attacked by a bear or not. Aside from going hiking with nine Navy Seals, all armed with AR, you could easily die if you have bad luck and run into a grizzly
saw Talibs showing fotografs their AR wounds while smiling, looks like ARs are not powerful enough to kill in many cases , for Bears i would prefer at least a Battle Rifle (with AP ammo or better a Hunting rifle with bigger caliber and long cartrigde/ more Powder more energy penetration) over a AR Assault rifle
good content
I think its nuts to hunt moose with a hunting party under 4 in bear country. It's not like a bull moose will not have plenty of meat for all, but only if it can be brought home.

So you go there to kill a moose and a bear follows its natural instinct and then you go and kill the closest bear hoping that it's the one seriously
You can't fix stupid !!
Exactly!
I think this is the first I've heard you speak of "foul play" in regards to grizzly attack scenarios. It never entered my mind in all these episodes that some are that evil. Like blaming it on the gators down south or wild boars in Arkansas. 🤔

You should backpack in a trailer which is lightweight aluminum but yet bear proof. A big enough cage for a human to sleep in. So you could be safe from bear attack while you sleep. It's also a safety cage when you get attacked by bear. You have to bring it with you .

No Canadian guide is going to find a high vantage point to sit on his backside and watch his paying client clean a moose. He would have been arm deep in the moose along with his client and as described would have had no chance of protecting his Hunter from the surprise attack.
I have cleaned countless big game animals in grizzly country and have always had my head on a swivel always knowing that what happened here could on any number of occasions happen to me. It is part of the experience.
Ditto. I don't have as big of a concern as you Canadians have, but always be alert. Here Mountain Lions are very stealthy and unafraid of people. I have had a few follow me during archery season and a curious wolf do the same. Adventure Bravely!
Pretty sad they killed the bear, the bear was doing what bears do, leave them the fuck alone and stay out of their habitat. What the point in killing a moose, especially if you're going to waste all the meat? Leave them alone as well. I am sure moose meat is available for purchase. FAFO. I've got more sympathy for the moose and bear then the prideful dumb asses wandering into their habitat to kill a moose they can't possibly manage to get to civilization and these dumb asses, both the guide and "hunter" should never have been in the woods if they did not know what to expect or even how to handle it, serves them right. Bear did not eat the hunter he slapped down, had no taste of human blood, no reason to kill a bear, even if the bear did kill and eat the hunter, what the fuck, that's what grizzly bears do.

That grizzles mom was also probably killed with a similar gun..
Hol quacamole!!!! Vicious paws!!! 🐾🐾
Man goes into BEAR country, where BEARS live, BEAR does what BEARS do, BEAR gets killed for doing what they do in THEIR habitat!!! Sounds like B.S. to me.
Atticus what the heck are the “ eastern Canadian Rocky Mountains “… and the North Woods is not a thing… I think you mean the “ Northern Boreal Forest “. Sorry to nit pick, I do love your videos, thanks for your work.
No worries, here is what Google says about the North Woods. "The Northwoods are the boreal forest of North America, covering about half of Canada and parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. For the part within the borders of the Midwestern United States, see North Woods." I think it is a colloquial name.
Wear a helmet
Yes,it knew,scared,had John watching
Dinner nell bear. It heard the shot and knew a hunter had taken down an animal so it went in the direction the sound came from and there it was. What i DON'T understand is, you know youre in grizzly country, why wasn't the guide keeping a sharp eye out? And, killing a moose then going back the next day is suicide. For sure a bear will have found and claimed it and as soon as you walk up you're attacked before you even realize whats happening
no tears here. stay in your own country!
Oh, no! They returned the next day and Killed the bear that killed the man that was trying to kill him? Wow. That Sucks... Poor bear.😢

Bears have their days. This bear reacted with dominence. It was the master in these parts the hunter at best was an annoyance. Did the hunter deserve his fate? It is a calculated risk all Hunters take. His number was up. The bear as usual is deemed as the threat. Pity.

A reminder that humans are not the king of all , contrary to most beliefs, you go in the ocean - equal playing field with nature, you know the risks .You go in the wilderness , exactly the same deal .I live in rural Australia and the risks are there everyday, if the brown snake or whatever gets me that's how it rolls , I know the dangers.

The bear will also follow your blood trail packing out meat
Regardless There was no need to kill the Grizzly Bear He was on his own Territory !
Agreed

Little sympathy for hunters
10:36pm it’s unfortunate that the victim didn’t have two companions to watch for bears. In bear country the scent of blood will definitely attract bears.
And wolves, and just about any other meat eater.
What happened to the moose 🫎 meat?
bear.have.2,servive
I think in this situation the only thing that might have saved his life is if one of them held the gun to shoulder at all times but that not feasible in real life nor is it guaranteed to save a life.
I have a question. If you know you are going after a large animal would it be inconvenient to bring in some kind of sled to put in the blind so carrying out the meat would be easier?
I know some hunters who only take the best parts and leave a lot of it there.
So maybe that's what the bear was used to - hearing a shot, following the smell or sound, and finding easy dinner.

I don't think that he was a dinner bell bear because 1) he seemed surprised to see humans and 2) he didn't stand his ground for the carcass. I think he smelled the moose and was possibly stalking it. With Ken squatted down, the bear probably wasn't certain about what he was until he saw him fly after swiping him. And he probably ran off when realizing another human was there.
The attack was neither predatory or defensive. I assume territorial. Even when they found him, he was extremely agitated.

I think this grizzly was indeed a dinner bell bear.
Why do you think that ?
@@heatherbrunner2165 because I know everything, that's why.
@@TravisWillden888 good enough than
@@heatherbrunner2165 thanks
@@TravisWillden888 any time 😊
I definitely dont think it was a dinnerbell bear the bear followed its nose to the moose meat broke my heart💔 the bear was killed 😭 So so sad and tragic RIP 😇 Gonna try and get to sleep now after 3 am 💤💤💤🌜🌛🌟
If Trudeau has his way hunting rifles will be outlawed as well
I hope that doesn't happen. What makes me most frustrated is how the First Nations People are not allowed to manage animals on their land. In the U.S. Native Americans can hunt whenever they want. Seems more fair to me, except other parts of the relationships, etc.
@@scarybearattacks whenever? Yeah sounds like great game management
Regardless of the man losing his life....i feel the bear should had been spared.....after all, it's his domain. And bears do what bears do.
Why kill the bear?? He was going after the downed moose! The man was at the carcus so the bear attacked to claim the carcus! If you don’t take proper precaution and have respect for things that can kill you then you should probly stay home or find another hobby! Killing the bear was unnecessary! And yes I am a hunter for over 30 yrs.
It's just me...but why go out into the wilderness and kill a beautiful animal like a moose?? The same goes for the bear. I do understand the legitimacy of hunting as a sport, and with respect, just saying!! All three would be alive today, if not for this episode of hunting and the out of control situations that can and did occur.
Guys stop judging hunters with your uninformed and city ppl views. Remember that America and many communities, families and even whole states hunt for many reasons. Culture, sustenance, keeping animal population down for various helpful reasons, bonding with others, a hobby, or any number of reasons.
Please stop judging. I bet you do plenty that outdoor folks think is dumb. And if you eat meat or veggies one way or the other you are no different. Factory Farming of either both kill uncountable animals and their habitats. Hunters when they have say a moose to eat all winter just kill the one animal and they worked for it and use it all. In that time you eat many animals that had to be kept in small cages then killed for your/our lazy butts. Food for thought. Pun intended.
Couldn't finish your video. Too much time on the blah, blah bullshit.
👋🏼
I agree too much bull shit
Apparently from your explanation and the details by John's hunting partner. The Bear approached the Kill site undetected until it was mere yard's away, having been attrached by the Blood scent in the Air from the previous evening's Killing? Or it had discovered the Kill earlier during the Nite & morning, when the pair were gone. IT then had moved off & out of Sight upon Thier return too the Moose Carcass, the following Day. Upon the Two Hunter's return for more of the Meat. When it did approach the Kill Site again. IT must have expected John's presence, or seen Him & Smelled His scent, but the sudden appearance of the Second Human, was sudden enough too Startle & scare it away. By the behavior of the Bear 🐻🐻 during the encounter. IT was attracted too the Kill by the Gunshot, the Blood smell in the Air, and then finding the Dead Moose & the Gut pile n entrails.
Upon that notion it then awaited in ambush for John & His partner to come back, where upon it attacked & Killed John immediately.
By the explanation of the Partner. That the Bear only once swatted at John, & sent Him flying several feet from His Moose Carcass. The massive Swat was intended too Kill Him or at least neatralize Him at Once? Whatever intention the Bear 🐻🐻 had? Thank God John was Saved the pain, agony, & the brutal Mauling that could have occurred, if He hadn't Died quickly and mercefully from that Deadly Blow too His Head.
FGI When Hunter's are out in the Wilds, hunting. Some of the uninformed or naive People ask why the Hunter's? Insist on returning too the Kill again or numerous Times? For this questions answer. These ugh 🤔naive people need too visualize the Massive Size of a Bull or a Cow Moose? Then figure how long it's gonna take too Cut it up for Carrying it back too Camp. Basically the Killing can take mere moments or a few Minutes. But once the Animal is Down, that's when the really true Work begins. The work of butchering a Fully grown Moose can intail Five too Eight Hours of strenuous hard & continuous back breaking labor. Since these Adult animals can Weigh in excess of 1800 Lbs especially for a Specimen from the Northern portions of Thier Habitat. So it's usually a Full Day to Two Day job of getting them back to Thier Base Camp's. So Sorry for being Long Winded, but Thanks So Much again for Sharing the Story. Hopefully John is RIP, and His Family are Well? 👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤔🤔👏👏
PS. The aquirring of a Moose Tag or License now is a really Special event these Day's? Just because once one has filled such a Tag? They have then gotten enough Meat 🍖🥓 to last an entire year or better. For the sake of predators. They can feed on one Moose for Two or Three week's, along with the other wild animals that vey for it's nourishments as Well. Thanks Again.
That is a good question. The sourced didn't indicate that the hunters had left the moose carcass over night but that makes more sense.
@@scarybearattacks Thank You for Your Kind and thoughtful answer.
IN reading some of the other comments. There was one from NW Montana that was questioning the Bears 🐻🐻 different ways and Habit's in cases of encountering Humans.
As I have been a resident of Wyoming now for Forty plus year's. I've been informed and witnessed that the Bears in these region's? Are still apparently Fearful of Man for the most part, and they usually will still Flee when encountering Mankind. From what I've read & heard this isn't so in the Northern Region's.
I'M a firm believer that the Bear's have been slowly, but most assuredly they have been adapting and again evolving too the point? That they are now Losing Their Fear of Man again, and are starting too consider us a full blown element of Their Domain again. IF this is So? Then we are just another item of Food 🥑🥝🥑 on Their Lists. Thank You Again.
In this case, the bear attack on Ken was a hit and run.
Thank you Grizzly.
Atticus what the heck are the “ eastern Canadian Rocky Mountains “… and the North Woods is not a thing… I think you mean the “ Northern Boreal Forest “. Sorry to nit pick, I do love your videos, thanks for your work.
Here is what Google says about the Eastern Canadian Rockies. "The eastern slopes extends from the high alpine slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains down to the foothills and into the transition into the Prairies ecozone." There is a geographic area known as the Rocky Mountain Trench. See reference here: www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/rocky-mountain-trench
