Thank you for making a gun channel that I can sit down and watch with my young boys without profanity. I love a lot of channels, but this is one of the few I can watch with young kids. They love it.
A hunter in Alaska was charged by a large sow. He emptied his blackhawk 44 at the bear. The doctors removed one of the slugs from his shoulder that ricocheted off the bears forehead. Great Alaskan Bear Tails. Great book.
I'm sorry but ima be that guy, that's cap lmao. You can see at 5:32 in this very vid, a 44 went clean thru it from what looks like a couple dozen yards, and even if it did ricochet; unless homie was literally less than a foot away from the bear, with it's head totally vertical like a shield, I dont see how the round bounced off it's forehead and hit homie in the shoulder lol
I harvested a Grizzley about 12 years ago in the northern Rockies. The hunt was un-eventful until a few weeks latter when my taxidermist call me up all in a huff but he refused to explain himself until I got there. So naturally I drove like my hair was on fire, in a blind panic that he had somehow ruined my bear mount. So I get there in record breaking even physics defying time, and there he is in his little front office area with a huge grin on his face. So he presents to me the partially cleaned bear skull, and it has some odd lumps in the bone. Turns out they were 3 rounds of 9mm and 2 of what we assumed are .38 special. So two separate people had really bad days with this particular bear by the time I managed to take him down probably at least a year latter judging by how overgrown the bullets were.
Did you investigate to see if there were any bear attacks in the area in the recent past. Or possibly missing persons ? In Alaska they have lots of people who just go missing, I would guess that they are eaten.
The 10MM is honestly one of the best things you can carry in the woods. The 10MM Auto is no joke for a pistol cartridge. Especially some of the Some hotter loads that compete with 44 Magnum ballistically. You basically get magnum level power in a fast action striker fire package with 15 round capacity. Cant beat that.
Yeah, I do believe that the Danish government issues Handguns chambered in 10mm Auto to certain government officials (researchers mostly), in case of an encounter with a grizzly bear.
affective choice or not . 10 Auto is a really "+" in comparison of 3 rounds most representative in our " auto toys"...the 9 para/40sw/45 acp........ but TAKE CARE . in states or handgun hunting is possible . or just in defence against a big game (Polar..Grizzli... .) i have ZERO TRUST FOR THE TRIO...but 10 auto have my respect....1) I PREFER REV ! ITS NOT MY FAULT,ITS A REFLEXE . ALL MY CONFIDENCE IS FOR A BIG 357 OR BIGGER ... 7 shot of 357 with decent lenght 6 INCHES mimi OR NEXT ....with ammo over 600 fft lbs Grizzli is dead
@Jesse43511 5 inches its just.... i prefer a 7 rounds (or a classic 6 ) but i need ac6 inches barrel keep at mind than 6 is an ideal ... for profite of your powder
@@kippert8912 I live in bear-ittory near the Grand Tetons and have encountered quite a few. So I try to bring a lil levity to those that have seen them in zoo's or in pictures, internet etc. And there is a cocaine bear from Philly, that is also a butt-bear where I live, guy is over top with the coke and the butt sex. And yes he looks very much like a bear, and scary when he is on the drugs. So even tho it's rare, it does exist, i can confirm.
In bear county it's recommended to carry a bear bell on your pack. It's also important to learn how to distinguish poop from black bears to that of grizzlies. Poop from black bears has berries and seeds in it, in grizzly droppings you will always find bear bells
In Canada, outdoor recreationists and people who work in the forests for a living seem to be doing JUST FINE with bear bells and bear spray. And about the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat (I know you were joking about the bear bells): They are virtually indistinguishable. Both species of bears start with grasses and plant matter in the spring and both species eat berries in the late summer and fall. Grizzly bear 💩 tends to have greater volume. In Canada we have the strange concept of "gun control," which isn't very restrictive in itself, but we don't go into the forests armed with hand cannons. Different culture, different attitudes towards conservation.
@@DocNayan that's where the joke came from haha. I spent quite some time in the wilderness of YT, NWT and Alaska. Never carried a gun, but i had a bear spray and bell with me. In wintertime with the dogs, I was more concerned about the moose. They can play havoc to a dog team if you can't stop in time.
@DocNayan you mean banning majority of guns and taking them away from people that have legally owned them for years and paying them a fraction of what they are worth and even banning ww1 and ww2 era firearms. Sure then yes gun control.
If you go into bear territory, remember to wear bells on your shoes. And carry pepper spray. You know if you're in bear territory when you see bear poop. You'll know if it's bear poop because it will have bells in it and it will smell strongly of pepper.
This comment was a joke.... however, to anyone actually not getting the joke:. 2 things. Bear spray and pepper spray are different things. That spray kept in purses to fend off a mugger will do nothing but season you as the joke implies. Use bear spray only. Also, unless you're in the deep deep bush in extremely remote areas, bells will do nothing. If they have had any contact with civilization, they don't care about noise makers. Bear bangers are ineffective for bears that live near towns or campgrounds. I live in the Yukon, where school field trips make me sign "Your child might be mauled to death by bears" waiver forms. So I'm speaking from experience. Carry bear spray in your hands or pocket, not in your backpack, watch out for poop, and I suggest 10mm ammo for good measure.
@@mitchchartrand yeah it was a joke. I live in Alaska. We deal with some large bears and some really stupid people coming to visit in the summer. Plus, bear spray is worthless against the Alaskan brown bear.
Supposedly a lady in the 1950s domed a grizzly with 22lr and ate it for dinner, now I'll never know if it's true because you started the test with an absolute Chad caliber.
Yep, it's quite well documented. She was a trick shooter or something. Popped a charging world record bear in the eye with a 22lr and freaking dropped it.
In the eye yes, forehead no. A guy by me shot a bear in the head with a slug it ran off 2 years later same bear was shot with the slug still in his head
Ya it’s still the Alberta record grizzly bear and she shot it in the side of the head with a old single shot 22 she was grouse hunting and it started walking at her the dove into the ditch and when the bear got only a few feet away she shot it out of fear of her own life and her hunting partner
Great old joke: The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter. They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge. Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away. It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat. Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.
I live in Griz country. Other than a few spooky calls...I never fired on one. My buddy, however...had a griz that thought his shoulder blade would make a great Frisbee for her cub. His friend unloaded his 44 mag, which eventually killed it but not before the bear ran off a pretty good distance with its cub. I pack the 10 mil. with a 16 round mag full of Buffalo bore. Great vid as always! Thank ya!
Hey I'm in Montana. I got a 10mm as well. I bought some 200 grain bear load, but then I saw 220 grain hard cast fp bear load. Which is more effective. I'm thinking the 220 but curious if anyone knows for sure
@@mariazapata5001do you want to pay money to a government organization every month to own a grenade you will most likely never use unless the event of an apocalypse?
I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning of your channel, I have two shirts of your merch, I hope you keep uploading, every time I watch your intros it makes me so happy and makes me laugh like crazy. Scott you make my day every time I watch a video,thanks for everything bro
Funny story from my Dad...this belongs here, you folks will get a kick out of this. It's like when someone wrecks a motorcycle, and people are like, "Is the bike ok?" but with hunting. Ok, mid 60's. My Dad, a few of his brothers (my uncles, of course) and Gramps go bear hunting over a weekend. No luck all weekend. They are walking back to camp and about 20 yards from camp, Dad stopped to take a leak. Everyone else kept on to the camp. Dad had a bolt action 30-06 hanging off his shoulder by the strap. He's just done whizzing, and heard something behind him. Heard the sniffing, and that distinct little "huff" like when a dog is done sniffing something and breaths out. Dad, with his "gun" still "un-holstered", (Full Metal Jacket reference, here, keep up) spins 180 degrees, shoulders the rifle, flips the safety off, and at point blank range, rips off five rounds into the chest of the bear that followed them all the way back to camp. Now, he was 50-60 feet from half a dozen other experienced hunters, so Gramps and my uncles grab their rifles, and come running, because that's what you do. Dad is standing over the bear, and Gramps sees what happened, and says, and I quote, "Rick, you didn't tell me you had a semi auto 30-06!!! Zip up your pants!" Dad fired that bolt action rifle so fast, experienced hunters, and Gramps, who was in WWII, thought he had a semi-auto rifle. The bear: heart, lungs, back straps, shoulders, all ruined. They did get some meat off the hind end, so the trip wasn't a total loss. That bear's entire upper torso was GONE. I mean, it was point blank with a 30-06! The Dad: He's 76 now, still goes camping and kayaking with his doggo and a couple of my uncles and cousins and some others in a camping group about once every month or two, very active, and in great health for his age, still tinkering in the garage and helping out older family members, friends, and neighbors. Gramps passed in the mid 90's. Uncles are still doing well.
Wow thats incredible. I really hope I don't have to deal with a bear like that. I hunt alot and im always worried that situation could happen glad he didn't get hurt and took it out before anything bad happened
I suspect most people would have a very hard time hitting a griz in the head when you're A) scared shitless at a charging griz and B) the bear is running at you. The intro made me LOL.
@@Oblithian Agreed. I think capacity is probably the key, because you're going to miss a LOT. In fact, I'm guessing people saying they shot the bear in the head and it just bounced off -- actually missed, Repeatedly. Like the guys saying the M1 carbine rounds bounced off Chinese soldiers' quilted jackets. They were just plinking away and missing, while convincing themselves they had hit every time (as humans tend to do). I'm guessing 40 S&W, .357 Sig, and 10mm are the best rounds, because you get decent power combined with a good-sized magazine so that you can miss repeatedly/get poor shots and maybe still land the telling one.
Well, when your customer has 4 million RUclips subscribers and mentions your company in his videos, you're pretty much gonna give him the best dang bear head you can make. 😅
I'm just banking on the possibility that urinating on one's self, along with the high pitch scream of a banshee would cause enough confusion and unease that the bear would opt for a less pathetic dining experience elsewhere.
Naw. They don't care. They're used to it. Bears, generally start eating as soon as their prey is down, living or dead is irrelevant. A little screaming is just par for the course.
My dads uncle was almost killed by a Grizzly bear camping near Canada. He said if he didn’t have his 357. He’d be dead. The bear tore open his tent when he was sleeping.
Jesus is the only way. We have all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing. But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven. Trust in Jesus! John 3:16 Romans 6:23❤
Bella Twin killed a world record grizzly bear with .22 LR in 1957. It is a gigantic myth that bears are impervious to gunfire. Reality is, most people just panic and miss.
I’m a hunter and expert at tracking if you hear like no birds making noise u should consider a bears near you also check for tree marks like claws that’s a sign bears are out and aggressive they’d teach us that in hunter safety
As someone whose survived a Grizzly attack, these guys are some tough SOBs. For anyone wanting to go hiking in Grizzly territory, be sure to carry a big stick and walk carefully. Godspeed
Hey Scott, you know what you need? You should bring some wooden dowels with you so you could insert them in the bullet holes and show the bullet trajectory. Sometimes you don’t know where the bullet ends up, but with like a 1/4” wooden dowel you could see the bullets path. It would also be very interesting to be able to see/show what the bullet does after impact.
Thank you for showing us all of this. This really helps narrow down what new handgun I'm going to get next spring for off trail exploring in Alaska. I'd love to see a Moose video also because the range your at is normally the range the unruly moose tend to "get curious about me" while i'm out hiking and fishing. Thanks again :)
15:17 Ohhhh yeah, I will definitely buy my wife a 500 Bushwhacker (so she can carry in her handbag). If anyone asks, it's to prevent bears from starting forest fires.🔥😎👍💯
I live in the Grand Teton area, we have Black bear, brown bear, Cinnamon bears and Mountain lions. It is key to hike with folks slower than you. And if they aren't, make sure they are while you are running away!
@@mitchellbrown2617 Nope , not in the Lower, but when I lived in Alaska, they were around. The Grizz in The Teton area seem more aggressive than the Kodiaks did, maybe I am just remembering wrong. But Kodiaks, did not seem to be as interested as lower 48 browns are.
And they lie through their smiling teeth about it too when you report a grizzle bear sighting - telling you it was just a fuzzy wuzzy black bear that you seen.@@crazycoffee
@@TheLongDon family livestock beg to differ. I've seen more grizzlies and mountain lions than black bears. Pay for our cattle and some goats then I'll change my tone
We don't have Grizzlies in Michigan. We only have Black Bears. While still a dangerous animal, no where near as violent as a Grizzly. More a nuisance than anything that loves to dig through your trash and destroy things to get to the food.
Scott, Rev. Paul Eustis Florida. I did get chased by a grizzly bear. It had already killed 2 hunters mauled a third which passed later. Dad taught us boys to run down the mountains steepest slope, front claws don’t retract. Dad could see the bear chasing me down the mountain, I came to a45 to 55 ft cliff, never stopped jump right off bro. Was cut up pretty bad but lived. The AFG shot it the next day late. Scott I’m 71 still have dreams about that bear. Can hear and see in my dream still scary.
I can imagine, I have nightmares about them from when I was a child and my grandma used to read us bedtime stories from Pap's Outdoor Life magazines "This happened to me" It was a different time and I still love anything that scares me half to death. No idea why. They were the best grandparents ever, a few nightmares over the years is a small price to pay and I love the woods and being outdoors. I'm glad you lived to tell the tale. ❤
. . . The preacher got up and made a bound For the tree where he'd be safe and sound Pulled himself up and turned about Looked up to the sky and began to shout Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel from the lion's den Oh Lord, you delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale, and then, The Hebrew children from the fiery furnace so the good book do declare, So Lord, if you can't help me, For goodness' sakes, don't help that bear.
in alaska we have a foolproof way to tell a black bear from a grizzly(they tell you to carry bear spray and bells to make noise for grizzlies) so the way you tell a black bear from a grizzly is their droppings ones contains seeds from berries(black bear) and one contains bells and smells like pepper(grizzly bear)
As a Canadian i don't know why people make such fuss over bear (granted im in a black bear part of the country, much smaller than grizzly) but still they have been 20 death in 34 years from grizzly attack and 24 from black bear just for context moose has killed 236 person from 2000-2014. I think bear are kinda part of our folklore since its basically the only "dangerous" thing in our forest
Use bear spray. I lived with the bears for 20+ years. Always have my 45 70 but it is not the go to. Doing what you’re doing while the bear is moving 30mph is incredibly difficult. What you NEED in this situation is TIME, and bear spray will give you that time to get to something a little more serious if necessary. But it has never been necessary.. bear spray has been that effective.
HA. Bear spray? You mean seasoning? Bears are incredibly intelligent. They learn and they become conditioned. Bears that have been sprayed before will not be afraid next time. A dead bear won’t be able to learn on the next person. You’re literally just conditioning the bear for someone else if you’re lucky. Plus bear spray gets recalled all the time, so you’ll have to bet on if it deploys even. Most people somehow put animal lives above theirs in cases like these. But my life is ALWAYS first. Once you’ve let a bear get within 30 yards of you, you have about 2-4 seconds to react if it charges - a chance I’d never take. The moment I spot a bear, the barrel is out and ready if it comes too close for comfort. And 30 yards is WAY too close.
@@ISirSmoke Pepper spray is a bureaucratic method for rolling the dice on whether you live or not. It lets the government control guns more while still giving a citizen the feeling of security. I want to live EVERY time, not roll the dice. So a dead bear that gets too close to me makes sure I’m always alive. I’m not gonna be a fool waving my arms around “hey bear, hey bear (spray, spray,) hey bear!” So you stick with your seasoning, and I’ll stick to my 12 gauge pump with 1610 fps federal slugs.
@@superbaas8822 Really? I missed it? There was a famous guy who documented bears and lived with them for 20 years and one day he got killed by one. Luck of the draw? Try again?
I love how @ 9:05, when you shot the head with the shotgun, the video looks like it goes in reverse with the head going back together. Keep up the great content .
Can you figure the profile of a bear facing you, create a target, and put it on a trolly so it is coming at you at 35 mph, starting at about 50 yards, and see how many hits you can get while it approaches you. At the distance you are, you would have about one second. If the bear was 100 yards away, you would have about 6 seconds to draw, aim, and shoot.
@@richardsnyder9767 I understand bear are fast, but the laws of momentum do not allow for something that large to close that gap as fast as you are describing, no matter what their top speed might be.
@@reijishian2593Velocity is an absolute. Regardless of mass, velocity is velocity whether it is a bird, a bear, a car, or a train. Ty he’s things can run and seeing how long it took him to aim, in a real world situation, that distant would be covered before he would have a chance to shoot.
There's a reason why AK Troopers, and the Fish& Game use Brenneke Black Magic 12 gauge slugs. I've got 430gr hard cast for my Marlin 1895 Guide Gun. Shot placement is key. Alaskan Fishing Guide Phil Shoemaker dropped a bear using 9mm hardcast.
So many people hear about how Alaskan fish and game "uses 12 GA slugs for bear" so they think any old run of the mill slug is okay for the task, not realising that the slugs ak fish and game use for problem brownies are designed specifically for big, tough game. It's like, no bill, that 2 3\4 inch rem slugger you used for deer last season in indiana won't cut it in coastal ak 😂
@jessehoon3003 , the Bernanke 3" magnums are a completely different beast. They aren't pure lead slugs. They have tin in them to harden them. They will go through about 12" of alaskan spruce. Not recommended for personal self defense. AK state troopers and police have had issues using their shotgun in city situations and blowing through the target and the whole building. Granted, most of alaska is 2x6 stick frame. But still.
The intro is the poor fella’s colitis day lol. Great information in your video! Remember a wounded grizzly is a grizzly that is now 10x more deadly. If you decide to shoot, continue until the bear completely quits, they occasionally retreat if surprised or initially damaged enough but tend to come back so be wary. Cheers and be well!
The fact that you hit that skull with bond arms was impressive enough, it looks like it channeled through the ocular cavity through a good amount of the brain cavity and settled in the back of the head/ neck meat. That bear would be dead, or really thinking about its life choices. All that said, a terrible choice for bear defense. But damn impressive Scott. Love the content sir! You never cease to entertain!!

@gagedilley5238 the idea would be have the 10mm be the established standard, and then the smaller calibers would make a complete study. We would know the performance about the large and small calibers. What do ya think?
I bought a brand new Glock 10mm "just in case" when I rented a cabin in the Great Smoky National Park area, and I'm glad I bought a 10mm, (I didn't use it, but I now know that it would be effective). Thanks for the video, I'll let my wife know that you said I should buy a 454 revolver just in case for a backup. And maybe some more. And ammo.
Hell yes, and if she has any questions, have her contact me. 😂 I'll definitely have her talked into at least one. Some of us ladies love guns too, except I don't do pink ones. 🤭 When I went to buy my .38 and saw a pink one in the case, I looked at the guy at the register and said "Now why would you do that to a perfectly good looking revolver ?" 😅 He laughed and said I have no idea either. 🤣
@@Lexidezi225 I love my Glock 20. Especially my extended mags that I can carry 20. Those are the ones I take hiking with me when I'm hiking in bear country.
That first 44 Magnum shot reminded me of The Great Outdoors with John Candy. Shoots the bear with a 12ga, but it just grazes the top of the head and leaves a bald spot.
It's not necessary for the round to pass all the way through for it to be effective...plus bears actual skin on their body aren't as thick as you'd think. Expansion is a good thing if your hitting body shots especially! Love your vids brother, funniest 2A RUclipsr hands down❗️ Keep killing it, no pun intended.
I know it’s just a model, but seeing the how skull is situated and how the topography of the head is formed, really makes it understandable why a bear is hard to take down. The only thing saving you is a prayer and that you brought the right equipment
Depends of the type of bear/ size/ etc.........also shot placement and ammo. I would say he did well....however given a choice........10mm with hardcast has more to offer .
Ouch! Considering Scott knows what a catastrophic detonation feels like I'm surprised to see him shoot that Underwood 340 grain +p+ out of his S&W. Way over the pressure limit for a S&W. The website excludes S&W from the safe guns but I don't know if the info on the box does. Living dangerously I guess. That said, awesome video. Bear round arguments are pure gold and Scott was the first to do a ballistic bear round video so huge kudos!!
@@yourdrummer2034 It's the cylinders, not the barrel, that are the weak spot. S&W were the very first to offer a .44 mag revolver and it was designed to shoot the original .44 magnum round which wasn't anywhere near the pressures of that +p+ that Scott was shooting. Those kinds of pressures weren't even dreamed of when the first N frame S&W's were coming out. Most manufacturers that later started building .44 mag revolvers had the advantage of seeing higher and higher pressure cartridges being designed and built their guns to handle those higher pressure cartridges that would inevitably come. S&W couldn't do that without completely redesigning their revolver making the cylinder larger/thicker to handle the increased pressure. They chose to not do that. So for better or worse, they are still excellent guns but are significantly weaker than guns from Colt, Ruger, TC and even Taurus. My S&W 629 V-Comp is a beautiful gun and while I wish it could shoot all the ammo that its competitors can, I wouldn't give it up for one of the others. If I ever buy another .44 magnum it'll probably be a Colt Anaconda which can handle whatever I want to shoot.
The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol carries Glock 20's as last line of defense against polar bears, anyone who says 10mm isn't viable for bear protection is talking nonsense.
I'd rather 15-16 less lethal chances with controllable rounds than 1 more lethal but out of a hand cannon. If your first shot is high good luck with the followup 😂
Love that you decided to make this test... However, as someone who comes from Maine, I can assure you, ballistic gell is insufficient to test the resilience of a bear... Try again please!
😂 the way he said the 45-70 is so pleasant to shoot, was the largest amound of sarcasm ive ever seen a human say humbly. Then man goes and says your hand will be damaged as well as the bear.
This is actually a very useful topic since I have ran across bears in Bear Country when out fishing. I have been lucky and they have been far enough away to get out of dodge, yeah I admit it I have a weapon when I go in the wild but I usually dip if I see a bear. Out here every year a bear eats someone and every time the story is mostly the same human sees bear, human decides to stay in area, human gets eaten later that night or dawn. Human had a stick and a pocket knife. Lol. I always carry a .30-.06 or a .357 or both. You never know.
Hey Scott, those 10mm 220gr hardcasts suck out of a stock Glock barrel. They don't stabilize correctly and have less muzzle energy than the 200gr hardcasts you shot through the gel in that last bear defense ammo video. For the Glock 29, the Underwood 200gr hardcasts are king. Thanks for the video!
I recall reading about a hiker who was killed by a Grizzly. The hiker was found holding an empty .38 revolver. When the bear was tracked down and 'neutralised', they found 6 x .38 slugs in its skull. Apparently shooting them with .38s just makes them more angry.
Do you think that you could defeat a grizzly bear? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Absolutely not 😂
No

I harvested a Grizzley about 12 years ago in the northern Rockies. The hunt was un-eventful until a few weeks latter when my taxidermist call me up all in a huff but he refused to explain himself until I got there. So naturally I drove like my hair was on fire, in a blind panic that he had somehow ruined my bear mount. So I get there in record breaking even physics defying time, and there he is in his little front office area with a huge grin on his face. So he presents to me the partially cleaned bear skull, and it has some odd lumps in the bone. Turns out they were 3 rounds of 9mm and 2 of what we assumed are .38 special. So two separate people had really bad days with this particular bear by the time I managed to take him down probably at least a year latter judging by how overgrown the bullets were.
That's amazing
That is wild.
What caliber did you use?
Did you investigate to see if there were any bear attacks in the area in the recent past. Or possibly missing persons ?
In Alaska they have lots of people who just go missing, I would guess that they are eaten.

The 10MM is honestly one of the best things you can carry in the woods. The 10MM Auto is no joke for a pistol cartridge. Especially some of the Some hotter loads that compete with 44 Magnum ballistically. You basically get magnum level power in a fast action striker fire package with 15 round capacity. Cant beat that.

I like black bears. Honey. Very sweet.
In bear county it's recommended to carry a bear bell on your pack. It's also important to learn how to distinguish poop from black bears to that of grizzlies. Poop from black bears has berries and seeds in it, in grizzly droppings you will always find bear bells
😂😂😂
In Canada, outdoor recreationists and people who work in the forests for a living seem to be doing JUST FINE with bear bells and bear spray. And about the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat (I know you were joking about the bear bells): They are virtually indistinguishable. Both species of bears start with grasses and plant matter in the spring and both species eat berries in the late summer and fall. Grizzly bear 💩 tends to have greater volume. In Canada we have the strange concept of "gun control," which isn't very restrictive in itself, but we don't go into the forests armed with hand cannons. Different culture, different attitudes towards conservation.
@@DocNayan that's where the joke came from haha. I spent quite some time in the wilderness of YT, NWT and Alaska. Never carried a gun, but i had a bear spray and bell with me. In wintertime with the dogs, I was more concerned about the moose. They can play havoc to a dog team if you can't stop in time.
So many people told the same joke, come on!
@DocNayan you mean banning majority of guns and taking them away from people that have legally owned them for years and paying them a fraction of what they are worth and even banning ww1 and ww2 era firearms. Sure then yes gun control.
It's all fun and games when the grizzly sit still :)))
If you go into bear territory, remember to wear bells on your shoes. And carry pepper spray. You know if you're in bear territory when you see bear poop. You'll know if it's bear poop because it will have bells in it and it will smell strongly of pepper.
This comment was a joke.... however, to anyone actually not getting the joke:. 2 things. Bear spray and pepper spray are different things. That spray kept in purses to fend off a mugger will do nothing but season you as the joke implies. Use bear spray only. Also, unless you're in the deep deep bush in extremely remote areas, bells will do nothing. If they have had any contact with civilization, they don't care about noise makers. Bear bangers are ineffective for bears that live near towns or campgrounds. I live in the Yukon, where school field trips make me sign "Your child might be mauled to death by bears" waiver forms. So I'm speaking from experience. Carry bear spray in your hands or pocket, not in your backpack, watch out for poop, and I suggest 10mm ammo for good measure.
@@mitchchartrand yeah it was a joke. I live in Alaska. We deal with some large bears and some really stupid people coming to visit in the summer. Plus, bear spray is worthless against the Alaskan brown bear.
So basically.. the next person to enter the bear territory is the one that would be saved

Great old joke:
The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur.
Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.
You can now pack a firearm in Glacier Natl. Park.
'bout time, huh?
Why not just carry your standard conceal pistol with buffalo bore?
Smells like pepper?
Is it a safety bell or a Dinner Bell?
They have also been finding a lot of selfie sticks and RUclips silver buttons

Funny story from my Dad...this belongs here, you folks will get a kick out of this. It's like when someone wrecks a motorcycle, and people are like, "Is the bike ok?" but with hunting.
Ok, mid 60's. My Dad, a few of his brothers (my uncles, of course) and Gramps go bear hunting over a weekend. No luck all weekend. They are walking back to camp and about 20 yards from camp, Dad stopped to take a leak. Everyone else kept on to the camp. Dad had a bolt action 30-06 hanging off his shoulder by the strap. He's just done whizzing, and heard something behind him. Heard the sniffing, and that distinct little "huff" like when a dog is done sniffing something and breaths out. Dad, with his "gun" still "un-holstered", (Full Metal Jacket reference, here, keep up) spins 180 degrees, shoulders the rifle, flips the safety off, and at point blank range, rips off five rounds into the chest of the bear that followed them all the way back to camp.
Now, he was 50-60 feet from half a dozen other experienced hunters, so Gramps and my uncles grab their rifles, and come running, because that's what you do. Dad is standing over the bear, and Gramps sees what happened, and says, and I quote, "Rick, you didn't tell me you had a semi auto 30-06!!! Zip up your pants!" Dad fired that bolt action rifle so fast, experienced hunters, and Gramps, who was in WWII, thought he had a semi-auto rifle.
The bear: heart, lungs, back straps, shoulders, all ruined. They did get some meat off the hind end, so the trip wasn't a total loss. That bear's entire upper torso was GONE. I mean, it was point blank with a 30-06!
The Dad: He's 76 now, still goes camping and kayaking with his doggo and a couple of my uncles and cousins and some others in a camping group about once every month or two, very active, and in great health for his age, still tinkering in the garage and helping out older family members, friends, and neighbors. Gramps passed in the mid 90's. Uncles are still doing well.
Wow thats incredible. I really hope I don't have to deal with a bear like that. I hunt alot and im always worried that situation could happen glad he didn't get hurt and took it out before anything bad happened

What did we learn? Fear is dumb. Don't afraid. :)
That's why I would go for capacity and controllability. It still needs power, but only enough.
@@Oblithian Agreed. I think capacity is probably the key, because you're going to miss a LOT.
In fact, I'm guessing people saying they shot the bear in the head and it just bounced off -- actually missed, Repeatedly.
Like the guys saying the M1 carbine rounds bounced off Chinese soldiers' quilted jackets. They were just plinking away and missing, while convincing themselves they had hit every time (as humans tend to do).
I'm guessing 40 S&W, .357 Sig, and 10mm are the best rounds, because you get decent power combined with a good-sized magazine so that you can miss repeatedly/get poor shots and maybe still land the telling one.
I really appreciate that they added ears. They didn't need to do that. They chose to, out of the goodness of their hearts. God bless 'em, every one.

As a Canadian i don't know why people make such fuss over bear (granted im in a black bear part of the country, much smaller than grizzly) but still they have been 20 death in 34 years from grizzly attack and 24 from black bear just for context moose has killed 236 person from 2000-2014. I think bear are kinda part of our folklore since its basically the only "dangerous" thing in our forest
Use bear spray. I lived with the bears for 20+ years. Always have my 45 70 but it is not the go to. Doing what you’re doing while the bear is moving 30mph is incredibly difficult. What you NEED in this situation is TIME, and bear spray will give you that time to get to something a little more serious if necessary. But it has never been necessary.. bear spray has been that effective.
HA. Bear spray? You mean seasoning? Bears are incredibly intelligent. They learn and they become conditioned. Bears that have been sprayed before will not be afraid next time. A dead bear won’t be able to learn on the next person. You’re literally just conditioning the bear for someone else if you’re lucky. Plus bear spray gets recalled all the time, so you’ll have to bet on if it deploys even.
Most people somehow put animal lives above theirs in cases like these. But my life is ALWAYS first. Once you’ve let a bear get within 30 yards of you, you have about 2-4 seconds to react if it charges - a chance I’d never take. The moment I spot a bear, the barrel is out and ready if it comes too close for comfort. And 30 yards is WAY too close.
@@JesusIsGoodTruth you obviously dont know what effect pepper spray has, especially an extra strong one like thats made for bears
@@ISirSmoke Pepper spray is a bureaucratic method for rolling the dice on whether you live or not. It lets the government control guns more while still giving a citizen the feeling of security.

Can you figure the profile of a bear facing you, create a target, and put it on a trolly so it is coming at you at 35 mph, starting at about 50 yards, and see how many hits you can get while it approaches you. At the distance you are, you would have about one second. If the bear was 100 yards away, you would have about 6 seconds to draw, aim, and shoot.
@VengefulWrath What did you do?
You are telling me a bear can close that gap in one second? I call bullshit.
@@reijishian2593 At the distance he was in the video, yes. A bear runs at 35 mph which is 51 fps.

They do make solid slugs for bear protection. The ones you are using have a hollow base and are shaped like a thimble.
There's a reason why AK Troopers, and the Fish& Game use Brenneke Black Magic 12 gauge slugs. I've got 430gr hard cast for my Marlin 1895 Guide Gun.
Shot placement is key. Alaskan Fishing Guide Phil Shoemaker dropped a bear using 9mm hardcast.
So many people hear about how Alaskan fish and game "uses 12 GA slugs for bear"
so they think any old run of the mill slug is okay for the task, not realising that the slugs ak fish and game use for problem brownies are designed specifically for big, tough game.
It's like, no bill, that 2 3\4 inch rem slugger you used for deer last season in indiana won't cut it in coastal ak 😂
@jessehoon3003 , the Bernanke 3" magnums are a completely different beast. They aren't pure lead slugs. They have tin in them to harden them. They will go through about 12" of alaskan spruce. Not recommended for personal self defense. AK state troopers and police have had issues using their shotgun in city situations and blowing through the target and the whole building.
Granted, most of alaska is 2x6 stick frame. But still.
I've seen a video of a Russian cop in siberia taking out a bear with a mag dump of 9x18 makarov
The intro is the poor fella’s colitis day lol. Great information in your video! Remember a wounded grizzly is a grizzly that is now 10x more deadly. If you decide to shoot, continue until the bear completely quits, they occasionally retreat if surprised or initially damaged enough but tend to come back so be wary. Cheers and be well!
10mm hard cast is definitely the best : perfect power/recoil ratio for bear protection
10mm 1911 ❤
I have a Glock 40. The long barrel gives a little less recoil and a bit more velocity. Also you can’t beat 15+1. But I bought it for wolves, not bear.
RIA Ultra FS HC baybeeeee 16 rounds of bear dakka
@@larry648 im sure it’s a bit overkill for wolf but why not 👍🏼
The fact that you hit that skull with bond arms was impressive enough, it looks like it channeled through the ocular cavity through a good amount of the brain cavity and settled in the back of the head/ neck meat. That bear would be dead, or really thinking about its life choices. All that said, a terrible choice for bear defense. But damn impressive Scott. Love the content sir! You never cease to entertain!!
Nah it would be dead or at the very least dying.
Someone get this man an Oscar for that opening. 10/10

@@christianweatherbroadcastingbro did you get hacked or smthn lol
“Who poops with their pants on?!” Got me rolling 😂😂😂😂
Loved it. Can you do another with smaller calibers? 380, 9mm, 357 sig, 357 magnum, 45acp,10mm?
10mm was literally the first round he fired in this video lol
@gagedilley5238 the idea would be have the 10mm be the established standard, and then the smaller calibers would make a complete study. We would know the performance about the large and small calibers. What do ya think?
I bought a brand new Glock 10mm "just in case" when I rented a cabin in the Great Smoky National Park area, and I'm glad I bought a 10mm, (I didn't use it, but I now know that it would be effective). Thanks for the video, I'll let my wife know that you said I should buy a 454 revolver just in case for a backup. And maybe some more. And ammo.
Hell yes, and if she has any questions, have her contact me. 😂 I'll definitely have her talked into at least one. Some of us ladies love guns too, except I don't do pink ones. 🤭 When I went to buy my .38 and saw a pink one in the case, I looked at the guy at the register and said "Now why would you do that to a perfectly good looking revolver ?" 😅 He laughed and said I have no idea either. 🤣
0:30 I wasn't expecting that. Fn hilarious 😂
Same. I think we all thought it was the bear
It hilarious to for me😂😅
the way he went from bear spray to a 12 gauge shotgun was funny😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's why allot of hunting guides up in Alaska are carrying 10mm for bear defense. Follow up shots without breaking your wrist.
Yep. Also you can carry 16 rounds in your Glock 20
@@Lexidezi225 I love my Glock 20. Especially my extended mags that I can carry 20. Those are the ones I take hiking with me when I'm hiking in bear country.
That first 44 Magnum shot reminded me of The Great Outdoors with John Candy. Shoots the bear with a 12ga, but it just grazes the top of the head and leaves a bald spot.
It's not necessary for the round to pass all the way through for it to be effective...plus bears actual skin on their body aren't as thick as you'd think. Expansion is a good thing if your hitting body shots especially! Love your vids brother, funniest 2A RUclipsr hands down❗️ Keep killing it, no pun intended.
I know it’s just a model, but seeing the how skull is situated and how the topography of the head is formed, really makes it understandable why a bear is hard to take down. The only thing saving you is a prayer and that you brought the right equipment
0:51 😂😂😂 you’re a fool Scott! (literally how I act with my kids 😂😂😂)
You parted the bears hair with that 44, like John Candy did in the Great Outdoors
I need to see Full Auto 9mm vs Lever Action .308, the Russian Badger debate
This has a 50% chance of being the top comment
@@ljushastighet 🤞
I think for the Russian Badger, you're going to need a SAM.
@@ObsydianShade Bro, SAMs vs Artillery would be crazy
The answer we all need to know
Got me laughing on that up close shot of bear spray
A man in Alaska took down an attacking grizzly with a single stack 9mm using Underwood flat nosed hard cast. That ammo is no joke
Depends of the type of bear/ size/ etc.........also shot placement and ammo. I would say he did well....however given a choice........10mm with hardcast has more to offer .
@@bigfootswatching9986 obviously
The tiny pepper spray from the front pocket had me laughing 😂
Tiny? Looked average to me.
Ouch! Considering Scott knows what a catastrophic detonation feels like I'm surprised to see him shoot that Underwood 340 grain +p+ out of his S&W. Way over the pressure limit for a S&W. The website excludes S&W from the safe guns but I don't know if the info on the box does. Living dangerously I guess. That said, awesome video. Bear round arguments are pure gold and Scott was the first to do a ballistic bear round video so huge kudos!!
What guns could handle the pressures the round produces?
@@yourdrummer2034 Thompson Contender / Ruger
@@dwishji thanks! Sounds like a dangerous round. S&W barrels junk or should Underwood not be overloading the particular rounds?
@@yourdrummer2034 A little of both.
@@yourdrummer2034 It's the cylinders, not the barrel, that are the weak spot. S&W were the very first to offer a .44 mag revolver and it was designed to shoot the original .44 magnum round which wasn't anywhere near the pressures of that +p+ that Scott was shooting. Those kinds of pressures weren't even dreamed of when the first N frame S&W's were coming out.
Most manufacturers that later started building .44 mag revolvers had the advantage of seeing higher and higher pressure cartridges being designed and built their guns to handle those higher pressure cartridges that would inevitably come. S&W couldn't do that without completely redesigning their revolver making the cylinder larger/thicker to handle the increased pressure. They chose to not do that.
So for better or worse, they are still excellent guns but are significantly weaker than guns from Colt, Ruger, TC and even Taurus. My S&W 629 V-Comp is a beautiful gun and while I wish it could shoot all the ammo that its competitors can, I wouldn't give it up for one of the others. If I ever buy another .44 magnum it'll probably be a Colt Anaconda which can handle whatever I want to shoot.
4:48 did it ricochet off the skull 💀😂
Excellent video and still proves that the 10 mm is still a viable option for Bear protection
The Sirius Dog Sled Patrol carries Glock 20's as last line of defense against polar bears, anyone who says 10mm isn't viable for bear protection is talking nonsense.
I'd rather 15-16 less lethal chances with controllable rounds than 1 more lethal but out of a hand cannon. If your first shot is high good luck with the followup 😂
Love that you decided to make this test... However, as someone who comes from Maine, I can assure you, ballistic gell is insufficient to test the resilience of a bear... Try again please!
😂 the way he said the 45-70 is so pleasant to shoot, was the largest amound of sarcasm ive ever seen a human say humbly. Then man goes and says your hand will be damaged as well as the bear.
yea, no sense in both the bear and human being injured.
the slap was personal 2:09

This is actually a very useful topic since I have ran across bears in Bear Country when out fishing. I have been lucky and they have been far enough away to get out of dodge, yeah I admit it I have a weapon when I go in the wild but I usually dip if I see a bear. Out here every year a bear eats someone and every time the story is mostly the same human sees bear, human decides to stay in area, human gets eaten later that night or dawn. Human had a stick and a pocket knife. Lol. I always carry a .30-.06 or a .357 or both. You never know.
Hey Scott, those 10mm 220gr hardcasts suck out of a stock Glock barrel. They don't stabilize correctly and have less muzzle energy than the 200gr hardcasts you shot through the gel in that last bear defense ammo video. For the Glock 29, the Underwood 200gr hardcasts are king. Thanks for the video!
I recall reading about a hiker who was killed by a Grizzly. The hiker was found holding an empty .38 revolver.
When the bear was tracked down and 'neutralised', they found 6 x .38 slugs in its skull. Apparently shooting them with .38s just makes them more angry.
Damn, I did expect that though. As bears have strong,durable fur.
A grizzly bear is nature's final boss I swear.
The bear won that one.
Wtf!
Ron White does a great stand-up routine about that story.
