It was a cold, blustery day in November, 1999. Gene Moe was hunting deer on Raspberry Island, a very remote and primitive location. Gene knew well that when it snowed, like other areas, deer on Raspberry Island would be pushed to lower elevations to find browse and shelter. The location is a mountainous wilderness filled with hazards and excitement, just the way the 69 year old liked it. He had spent many a season in the backwoods enjoying solitude and peace. This year was possibly the last time he would enjoy this environment. He was going to make the most of it!
After a few days of hunting together, he and his hunting partner, Steve, decided to split up to cover different areas and mitigate their different perspectives and strategy. Gene told Steve that if he heard a shot to come and assist, just to make sure everything was ok.
Even though the hunting partners were only a few hundred yards apart, Gene managed to call in a Sitka Blacktail, the predominant deer species of the area. As twilight was creeping in Gene leaned in over his buck and started to process his harvest. He used his 4 inch Buck knife to gut the deer and started to remove the hide from the carcass. Gene leaned his rifle up against a nearby tree while he worked.
In a chaotic explosion of swaying bushes and growling, an extremely large brown bear emerged from the brush a very short distance away. The bruin was foaming at the mouth, spitting and growling through razor sharp yellow teeth. Armed with only his knife, Gene readied himself for a life or death confrontation. He knew if he ran he would trigger the bear's predatory instincts and be overcome from behind, the most vulnerable direction. He stared the hungry bear in the eyes and conveyed a devotion and commitment met by the bears. The ears of the bear lowered and its head dropped in the final signal of commitment.
The bear surged forward toward Gene. He had no previous experience to fall back on, so he decided to extend the only defensive weapon he had, his skinning knife. He held the blade out straight toward the charging bear and placed his feet far apart to brace for impact. Gene was 6’1” and in great shape. He worked out regularly for hunting and fishing seasons. You see, Gene was a product of the Great Depression and those folks did not shrink from hardship, nor threat. Years of finishing concrete had honed his physique and resolve.
As the giant bear closed the 30 feet that separated the pair, Gene prayed out loud saying, “Lord, I need your help, Help me Lord!”. The bear didn’t hesitate as it drew on years of instinct. As the bear blurred toward Gene, the edge of the knife held forward didn’t strike the bear's mouth, as Gene had intended, but skimmed along the bruin's cheek and sliced open a gash along the length of its skull. The now injured and angered bear clamped down on Gene's right arm around his bicep tearing the muscle and flesh from just above his elbow all the way down to his wrist. From the pain of the initiation of the attack Gene thought his arm was completely torn off.
The direction and force of the bear's focus caused Gene to turn towards the bear and he instinctively wrapped his left arm around the neck of the giant predator. Gene tried to poke the bear in the eye, instead he managed to get his first finger into its ear and push it in as far as he could. The bear reacted with confusion and pulled back. With his arm still around its neck, the bear suplexed Gene like a professional wrestler. Amazed at the ease of which the bear just launched him about ten feet, Gene sprang back to his feet.
The bear, now just about 5 yards away, took a few seconds to review the situation. It stood up on its hind legs and walked toward its adversary. Like a wary boxer, Gene watched the bear's right paw, knowing most are like humans and prefer their right side. Gene circled to his left as the bear struck out with its right paw. Even though Gene pulled his head back, one of the bear's claws bisected his left ear. The bear immediately followed up with a quick swipe from its left paw which landed on Gene’s right leg and knocked him to the ground. The claws from the bear tore up his leg and parted skin, muscle and tendon.

They replaced the bear warning signs on Raspberry Island with Gene Moe warning signs for the bears
Hahaha this is the ultimat example from hard times create strong man
Lol, good one!
Not really that one bear did enough damage that it wouldve only took one more bear 🤷🏽♂️
@@xvasacex4996 not really what? You get invited to alot of partys?
@@xvasacex4996
Whaaaat? I know this man! It was really bad.
Damn Gene was a badass. I had a great uncle who was 89 yrs old an I witnessed him climb up a huge pine tree and using a chain saw cut that tree down in just about 45 minutes and then climb another one taken it down as well, then he quartered up all the wood loaded it an drove off. What a freaking man he was.
That's very awesome man!
I’m 44 and I don’t think I could do that! Lol
Cap
dang man...thats a bad dude right there..beta males probably hated him lol
Thanks for sharing this. Just what I needed. Your great uncle is my inspiration. Time to live up to those legendary standards
That's one tough bastard, goes to show how resilient humans can be when they choose to fight and not succumb to blind fear
Something the country needs to realize
@@raybordelon5215 what confuses me is i see people like me and you with common sense who want to the right thing everyday so i really dont understand where all the backwards people are hiding in this country i feel like we should out number the cowards 3 to 1
David v Goliath Deaux!
We do. The media just works hard to give the perception of otherwise. God, guns and guts. Let's take it back. Vote.
The Bible say that we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthen us. God was with him.
69 years old damn! Don't go hiking in bear territory unless you're built like Gene
In that case no one needs to go hiking in bear territory, gene was an absolute monster of a man. Most people would pass out in fear just seeing about within 50 yards of them. Let alone continue to analyze and devise counter attacks while already getting mauled by a 700 pound beast of an animal. I love bears but they’re the absolute last thing I’d want to encounter, the fact gene did everything he did makes him a legend in my book.
Shit I’m not going unless I’m with Gene
Gene is an absolute legend. I read about his encounter in another book. Tough as a nails. Something to be said of that generation, my Grandfather dropped a tree on his leg alone in the forest, in his 80's. That wasn't what did him in at all, Alzhymer's got him. He was a concrete man as well, started a company pouring forms after WW2 in Boston, and did real good for himself and his family for generations to come. But for him, it was life in the woods, cutting tree's. Cant take the country out of the man.
Git off my fucking phone.
Nature is the best wife a man can have 🙂
@SALTPETER Ur grandfather was a BOSS! So was Gene💯 my gramps was too...he had his car fall on him Twice & managed 2 pull himself out after 2 hours and a big gash on his head. Taped it up with duct tape (his head wound) & finished working on his car! He was the type that wood give u the silent treatment when he was mad @ u & knowing that feeling of disappointment was the worst! N e way Much RESPECT💜 Take Care
My daddy was like this
Only old age took him
Wasnt scared of man nor beast
Old country n mountain men are special and getting rare
We have allowed out children to become game zombies instead of the healthy generation of mentally and physically strong adults
@@Denden971 lol being alone and independant is the best husband a woman can have honey
This guy is a straight up bad ass! That generation of people were on a different level of toughness. We will never see their like again.
There are men and women who gave up their lives in wars that were way more heroic. There are strong determined people today.
I disagree…plenty of bad ass dudes still left who have had to suffer through different challenges in life.
You wish.
@@gregkeller80 thank you!
WW3 will toughen people up.
Great story! Gene is the man!!! My grandfather lived through the Great Depression & he was nothing to mess with either! They were bred very different then we were.
That depression shaped the lives of those who lived through it without a doubt.
Something about having to go to bed hungry as a kid made a strong adult out of them.
Yes I totally agree Brooklyn maybe it's something in the water they drink
Now imagine what Ice age did with our ancestors.
so your gramps lived through the depression while everyone else lived through something else, huh? and anybody can fatally stab and then punch a bear. i thought this story was about some bloke who knocked one out dead.
@@moseskongi4746 Autism speaks.
Sow: "This human should make a nice meal"
Gene: "C'MON BEAR!"
Sow: "I've made a terrible mistake"
You know it was not Genes time to go. Good for you Gene, you are one tough guy. God bless you.
Gene's a great warrior and a man of faith an inspiration for all.
One of the nice things about RUclips is when you find a little gem of a channel hiding in a corner with a real human voice! A unique individual who's voice you come to know. A voice that makes you feel like you are having a conversation with that person. So much better than those robotic voices or overused voice-overs.
Most channels who end up being very successful are ones who narrate their own videos, with real people. It's a sign of authenticity, allowing the viewer to feel connected to the channel on a more genuine level. So good for you. I would just watch out for your voice being too monotone and also script reading. These are great stories. Make the voice inflections match the moments. Don't be afraid to go off-script a little. Keep on truckin'. I think you're gonna do pretty good!
Heya Yosemite, I totally agree....love this channel, just.......real and I've learned so much.
I agree i love finding small channels with gold mine content its kinda like movies from early 2000 90s lol
I almost got sick hearing what this gentleman went through
Ty 4 posting this story
That's the first I've ever heard of someone fighting back and winning. Gene is tough.
Yes he is, but stupid. Left his rifle out of instant reach. Also compleatly FAILED to hit the bears most vital spot w the knife, its NOSE. Bushmen have saved their lives by biting off a bears nose. Do that & it compleatly shorts out their brain. No backup big bore handgun either. Thats dumb in bear country.
Story is fake
@@bofasofa9399 Your troll kung fu is weak.
That's an understatement
Yup that's some real balls there. Makes you wonder as a man if you would commit fully to this kind of contest, or shiver with the purest debilitating fear. I don't think any man can answer before facing this confrontation.
The generation that survived the Great Depression were tough as nails! It's not hard to see why Gene had the grit to face such a mighty creature. I admit that I don't have that level of fearlessness. The fact that he mustered the strength to kill the bear after being so brutally attacked is astounding. Living amongst such magnificently terrifying beasts is the trade off for the rugged beauty and solitude of the great Alaskan wilderness.
Gene was/is one honest to goodness bad ass senior citizen. I wouldn't wanna stand and throw down against any man who went hand to claw with a bear and won. Also, I'm really enjoying these stories, thanks for doin' this.
Knife in hand to claw! No man alive would kill a bear that big with his bare hands.
Your recitation and diction are improving alot! What an adventure. People are often surprised how a man of faith can move the mountain. God is good. Great story! God bless you all.
where was god with all the other horrible bear attacks?
@@al145 HE was there...

@@juanitawashington106 Yes I believe it's called The mystery of faith. Like you try to believe shit that just doesn't make sense. I used to ask the same questions... why is God letting all these babies starve etc.....but today I TRY to just hope and believe that there will be a greater meaning.
@@kellykane7586 Yes, the complete trust and confidence ( faith )
It’s insane that through all the injuries, and all the slams. And all the weight coming down on him, and into him. He managed to keep his knife in his hands the whole time. The first attack I probably would have dropped the knife. Unbelievable.
The first attack I woulda got killed instantly🤣...no way is my bone and sinew THAT resilient.
@@hyrumbliss5811 no man's bones is
“With God,nothing is impossible”.
Great description of the battle.....makes us realize bears aren't just mindless killing machines but can use strategy, just as Gene did. The Lord answered his prayer, as against all odds, Gene survived. Thank you Lord.
I used to tell my friends who like to hike through the Frank church in central Idaho that when you see a bear they're calculating the economy of calorie. Can they spend less than they're gonna get if they have to kill you to eat you
The Lord also let that bear attack gene... Duh!
Lift high the name of Jesus !
@@brucedressel8873 why? Christianity is immoral.
Heya Lilian, I've started to think Bears are a bit more clever than dogs.
Am I naive d'ya think ?
or just an old romantic....
I admire Gene's commitment, bravery and courage wow this story is absolutely astonishing. A true man who will not go down without a fight. Awesome story 💯
That’s one brave man!
This guy, Gene is about the coolest person ever. Dude actually went head to head with a bear with nothing but his knife and fists... And actually won. Fucking legend holy shit.
Against a 750lb Kodiak bear no Iess. 😮 Legend of a man. I'm happy to say my oldest son's middle name is Gene. ❤👍
Agree!…but check your language guy.
He shares that position with Carl Akeley though, that dude killed a leopard with his bare hands!
That is an incredible story and Gene showed amazing courage in actually fighting that bear. Most people would shrink in terror at the thought of what was most likely going to happen to them.
How could he walk weighed down with those giant balls of steel? What a man.
😅
And you believe that crap?😂😂
@@supervisorjd4458 I know it sounds hard to believe, yet it is still a million times more likely to happen than a man putting on a dress becoming a real woman, and still people believe that utter nonsense. 🤣
He that calls on the name of the Lord, shall be delivered!. Mr Gene Moes sounds like Samson junior!
The rifle helped
@@jerrywoods4066 it didn't, all the rifle did was make sure the bear was dead. In the end, he basically defeated it on his own
@@Florida_man21 the rifle saved his life
What an unbelievable incredible man.
Gene was a concrete finisher. Did a lot of pours with him. Heard the story from him personally. Guys a legend.
I like the stories where there are survivors. I wish Gene all the best.
Thank you for telling us Gene's courageous story of survival. God Bless Gene.
Great story of an indomitable human spirit ! Gene had good fortune severing that artery with his knife the huge gush of blood signed the bears fate .She had only seconds to live with her blood pressure dropping to a level that could not sustain consciousness! A .454 in a chest holster is a great idea while skinning game.
Goes to show how strong you don’t know you are when your strength to live is mental and physical. Hope he has gone on to live a longer uneventful life. Amazing man.
The toughest man alive !!! He acted with a clear conscience, and a cool head. A fight with a grizzly, man, there is a god !
how did he have a clear conscience ? he had just killed a dear with a rifle. instant retribution. it was a miracle he killed the bear and lived to tell the tale, but had he not put the smell of fresh blood in the air, he wouldn't have been attacked
@@mattiemclean9882 I can guarantee that is what your ancestors ate, and how they got it on the table, and depending on your age, under 20 year's old, if you're not aware there weren't actual grocery stores at the time, that your grandparents most definitely lived this life.

Perfect example of never give up !
Damn… I honestly didn’t even think this was possible. What a tough guy.
I would've collapsed from shock after the first attack, or passed out from the pain...this guy was more than just tough, he was an animal himself😲
Imagine that kind of resolve in a boxing ring, this guy would've been champion for sure.
The man must be called a living legend in his hometown.
He had the Lord on his side. His gives grace as grace is needed. You would have done just fine I’m sure.
@@AFloodofSolaceJohnWhigham shut up you nutter him stabbing the bear in the neck saved him not your sky daddy
@@AFloodofSolaceJohnWhigham couldn't the Lord just make the bear not attack? If he was a good dude why did he have to get mauled

His battle against the bear was epic. Glad to hear he survived and on the other side the bear had a long life.

I laughed until I cried
This is how everyone thinks theyd take on a bear until you see them on the news dead in a camp
I was always intrigued by this story and as I’ve gotten older I put something together, it’s just my opinion but I believe Gene cried out to God and didn’t just say a prayer under his breath. I believe the spirit of God was with Gene. Thanks for sharing the story
Great take on it! Thank you!
I believe that as well. Kinda like David and Goliath…
I believe that as well. Kinda like David and Goliath…
The Quran says that when death approaches a man he worships God alone but when he is safe he goes back to using intermediaries and idols to get to God like Catholics with Mary. This is the biggest sin ever. But God responds to prayers of the oppressed and the mpre sincere the prayer is the higher the likelihood of it being accepted

Never leave your primary weapon leaning against a tree! Even while taking a dump!
These stories are so frightening but it’s really sad when the bears are starving.
Great story and a great man. I got a sense of a bear's power when around 1980 a guy brought a 575 pound Siberian Grizzly to a Texas bar for a wrestling demonstration. Bar patrons were asked to volunteer to wrestle the bear and the crowd would choose the winner. Myself and 4 others were picked from all the volunteers to be the bear's victims! They were all big guys except for me. I was 5'7" and 185 pounds. I was a U.S. Marine previously and was also the bouncer for the bar. I watched the bear effortlessly toss those big guys down and then sit on them to hold them in place. I was last and we had been instructed to walk up to the bear with our arms outstretched and the bear would stand up. We weren't allowed to charge the bear or punch it. All four guys attempted to grab the bear around the neck and wrestle it down, but it just swatted them aside and then grabbed them with his mouth, before wrapping his huge paws and "arms" around them. He wasn't muzzled, but his front teeth were missing. He had his back teeth and we were warned to NOT get our hands in the bear's mouth! I planned my actions and approached the bear with my arms outstretched. The bear raised up on his hind feet and leaned to grab my arm. I sidestepped him to the left, got behind him and hooked my right arm under his right front leg. I put my left leg between his legs and swung him over to my left. He came crashing down! Unfortunately I had only enraged the bear and he sprang back up before I could get on top of him and he towered over me a split second before he crushed me with all of his weight. I was pinned and couldn't move and the bear beat his last opponent. I was the only one to put the bear down, but one of the other guys was with a large party of friends and their cheering guaranteed him the "win." Actually the bear was the only winner, except he was still a captive and still required to perform so his owner could profit from it. Afterwards I felt sorry for the bear and really felt bad that I had participated in the event. Years later this kind of thing was outlawed and I was glad. But, I can honestly tell my grand children and my first great granddaughter that their grandpa wrestled a Grizzly bear and lived to tell about it. How many of you can say that...honestly?
Lol that's hilarious! We should do a video together about it!
That's just the thing.... we can't say that. Everything cool has to be banned.
I don't see what's so bad about it. Heck his life beats nearly starving to death once a year or getting carved up by Mr Gene, like other bears.
I'm really happy that I never have to live through that.
I saw a similar show in Michigan in 1987. No one came close to beating the bear. It was really sad and pathetic when you thought about how the rest of that bears days were.
In the end, the brutal bear was a mother of two small cubs only hungry for food. Wrong place, wrong time. It's a miracle he survived.
C'mon guys. It doesn't matter how tough you think your grandad was, noone is punching a bear to death
Lesson learned: check the salmon run before hunting. Avoid hungry bears. What a story!
That buck 110 folding knife can’t be beat
In fact that 1 retired undefeated :)
This was a great story. To the point, no music and stellar reading. That man reminds me of some stories I've heard of tough men from older generations, so I don't doubt it one bit.
One 80+ year old farmer sold decommisioned telephone poles of his property, so a freind's dad and his mate (both strong farmers) went there to pick them up. The place was hard to get to and the tractor was torn down for repairs. They went up with lifting tongs and starting hauling one post off down to the road between them, sweating and swearing over the biting horseflies and the heat.
- They were passed by the 80year old carrying a telephone pole on his shoulder!
This is what Anime stuff is made of, Amazing, this dude deserves a statue.
Gene Moe AKA the manliest man who ever lived
Thank God that Gene had his Buck 110 folding hunter knife with him.
I love listening to you tell these stories, my oldest daughter and I both watch your channel. You put up a picture of a bear and I was looking at it, I thought it was a photo then I realized it was a drawing and am totally "AMAZED" It is soooooo beautifully done💖💝💖
Thank you! Would love to see your artwork!
I just found this Channel, and it is amazing. Also Genes a badasss.
Great story! Thank you for covering it! Subbed. 🙂
Traveling alone in brown bear country is very dangerous. Gene’s hunting partner may have been several hundred yards away but they should have remained together in order to concentrate their firepower in the direction of a charging bear. Safety in numbers! Your rifle should be on a sling over your shoulder as well, not propped against a tree 15 yards away. I spent years hiking in bear country when I lived in Anchorage and you never let your guard down or get too comfortable. To be honest, part of the thrill of hiking in those areas though is the ever-present danger and awareness that you may be hunted by an apex predator on your next hike!
Wow! What a battle! I always carry a rifle and a large caliber pistol when I’m in bear country and most everywhere else these days!
The most amazing story about a man and bear encounter that I have ever heard. Thanks for sharing……and yes, the Lord was definitely with Gene.
If the Lord was with Gene, how come he allowed the bear to attack in the first place?

My favorite story on the channel so far,but let's be clear,it was the multiple stab wounds that killed the Bear,not Gene's Left hook, LOL. But it makes the story sound better...
He killed it with the rifle . The actual article said he made it to his rifle and put three or four bullets in it at close range
We all know who was right there with Gene as soon as he asked him for help! Praise God for giving him the strength to kill the bear & survive!
A fight to the death with a bear and this epic man came out on top.
Now this is a man who exemplifies focus, commitment and sheer will.
Wasnt a fair fight for the bear, the man had the Good Lord on his side.
I’m sorry but weren’t all living creatures created by a supreme being which would have included the bear? Might want to reread the scriptures.
At that age 99% percent of people would of died in that situation. I wonder since he was a man of faith, did Gene every hear about Samson. The strongest man to ever live, and how he killed a bear
A lion
A lion and a bear

This man is a brave man and his faith got him thru .
He ought to have known better than to go wandering out on Raspberry Island.

Awesome... Thx brother! My grandfather was the same kinda man.. tough as an ax handle and just wouldn't be stopped!
Really? How come then that hicks do not survive past a round or two in boxing rings? Where are those "big, strong" country hicks? Never seen one fight with any measure of success anywhere except in the UFC, where 90% of the opposition are hicks themselves.
I worked at the old harbor but man raspberry island is such a true beauty
Very tough and determined man and not many would match him for sure. I hope the cubs Mama bear was protecting managed to make it through the winter and onward ... sad to think about this aspect !!
Gene was old school, asked help of creator and stood ground.
We dont have men like that anymore
Holy shit .. that is a metal story .. this man called on the strength of God and killed a bear with his hands ..
I'm guessing his knife strike behind the bear's head cut through muscle and ligament in its neck and his final punch fully separated the bear's neck/spine .. absolutely gruesome fight
Wow! I definitely would have made a run for the gun. God blessed this man! Salute!
😆 me too I wouldn't want to wrestle with that mfr

@@scarybearattacks Love these dude!..keep em coming and you're doing a great job!
What a total badazz!!! This dude is now my spirit animal. Thanks for another great video.
Im from Africa and this story reminds me of a great uncle of mine, who was much younger than Gene, who wrestled a lion for his life and and won with little scars. He too had a dagger he used to repeatedly stab the lion before it collapsed. I remember meeting him for the first time when i was ten and i was in awe because i understood he was different. I also noted he oddly had hair coming out of his ear which i came to realize as an adult might have been due to excess testosterone. He was a feared and respected man. He died a few years after that due to the ongoing war in the country at that time.
Now think back how brave the people had to be before guns!! They're only option was a spear or a knife like your Uncle!
@@scarybearattacks yes very brave indeed. In Africa there are still tribes who only use knives and spears to defend themselves against wild animals.
@@Katarina23 Mate even if you fight back your dead bare handed. A black bear you can fight back because it intends to eat you and your roughly the same size muscle mass wise if it's small but even then its not like a human its inhumanly strong aswell for example a black bear weighing 120 pounds (54 kg) was observed turning flat rocks weighing 310 to 325 pounds (141 to 147 kg) by flipping them over with a single foreleg.
And A brown bear makes the black bear seem like a child version of its self not only is it much stronger it has completely different build to a human. No human bare handed could defeat a bear. It's like a jack russle killing a group of fully grown large man who have mma experience and are professional fighters. If he punched it and he had the punch of francis ngannou it would feel like a new born baby tapping your head as a comparison. The best scenario is you manage to scare it if it actually intended to kill you and it wasn't just curiosity you'd be dead.
Scientists agree no human can punch or kick hard enough to inflict any real damage to the bear. You would break your bones trying to inflict damage to the bear. Because the structure of its body is so much denser Seeing as grizzly bears bones are 10× denser then humans. Just as a comparison gorilla bones are only 3x denser then human bones. Grizzly bears possess a biting force of over 1200 PSI, which is enough to crush a bowling ball. They can push 3tone rocks with on limb. a bear can disembowel man or beast with a swipe of the paw and snap the back of a 600kg mose with its paws. It's incomprehensible for a human to beat up a fully developed grizzly bear bear handed.
Regarding hunting a lion or defending your village with spear, knifes and poison arrows. Is completely different to engaging in Bare combat. I could understand if your uncle injured the lion let it bleed out then killed it with a knife In a mount position that's definitely possible and pretty badass but wrestling isn't something lions do they are predators they aim for your jugular and hold to snap your neck the best they do is latch on a go for a ride when the pray is much larger then itself. Or it could of been a young lion not quite coordinated enough and maybe a good 50-100lbs lighter then your uncle sure he could of wrestled it and killed it but a fully grown tiger like the grillzy bear tho slightly less impossible still out human limits. We are built for a completely different reason we are endurance based they are ambush predators the design is completely different. To give prospective a grillzy bears claw swipe generates more power then a horse kick directly to your skull. That's why it'd fatal that force is just too much for human to take. Lions are less dangerous then grillzies due to the size and strength difference but when compared to a human it just doesn't matter they are world's apart in strength.
I've hunted my dad has since he was a kid in his village mainly fox's rabbits and occasionally wolves. Eventually when he moved here boars and kangaroos he has 40+ years of hunting experience he was butcher for many years he knows exactly where to stab the vidals everything and never in a million years would he have the false perception that he could kill a bear or lion bear handed. Dude's big too bigger then me like 189cm 105-110kg lean does marathons extreme sport stiff like that is 60 he retired as a firefighter recently but he still straps a 25kg weight runs 15-25kms daily. And he wouldn't stand against those predators. He does spearfishing like legit I personally have never ever met a human like him I'm above average but he is in a whole other league. And I'm telling you he wouldn't stand a chance in hand to hand combat.
@@Artofwarthebookof5rings jesus you wrote a whole book
@@TheGreatestJediOfAllTime ik but the claim is so false I had too
Hell of a fight!
I love these videos
Gene is an absolute beast! 🐻
Should have turned his eyes away and slowly backed away, giving his deer to the bear. I did this instinctively, gave up my food to a bear who I initially and foolishly challenged for my food, fortunately it worked. Bears are not stupid, they don't want a fight when food is available. They read your intentions well.
This man legit punched a fucking bear and killed it. John Wayne can ride his goddamn horse right up a his own hiney hole. This guy is the true definition of true American grit god damn it.
New subscriber what an incredible story. The lord was on his side for sure. Lucky man and so smart.
Wow.. awesome story telling and narration bro 😎… gene is one tough dude…
What an amazing story. The poor bear was just hungry, but I'm glad to know that I have even the smallest likelihood of surviving a bear attack... If trained properly lol. Great video man! Subscribed!
Yeah, and if you pray and God helps you.
Yeah, poor bear who initiated the fight and tried to kill him for no reason. Fuck that bear. I’m glad he died, it’s just too bad gene wasn’t able to make it suffer more before he killed it.
@@markus7166 Are you stupid ? the bear tried to kill him out of hunger, because that year there was no salmon. He said it at the end. Moreover, this bear had 2 babies, so desperate times call for desperate measures. The bear is not to blame here, you go to the island near to kodiak island and you get surprised by getting attacked by a bear (oh wait, kodiak bears are called like that because of this island ? NO WAYYY).
Great storytelling. Based on this account Gene likely severed the bear's carotid. Later likely injuring the animal's cervical vertebrae. Gene likely finished the bear off with adding the final blow which likely severed or completely broke it's neck, damaged from Gene's blade.
I remember being enthralled by my grandfathers stories of WWII, even though he wouldn't always talk about a lot of detail. Story telling is an art I hope to connect with the young people and let them know how generations of humans passed on info.
That sounds like an accurate synopsis...good observation👊👍👌👏👏
God must have been guiding the accuracy of those knife blows, because that man surely was fading fast in the wake of such ferocity and strength.
I can't believe his leg wasn't shattered by that second charge😲
He killed the bear with his rifle.
@@jerrywoods4066 Exactly.
Love your videos
Thank you JonPaul!
I heard another story where people were attacked by a bear. They also put their guns against a tree. They were fortunate. The bear grabbed the deer they had killed and left.
I'm pretty sure this is what happens about 999 times out of a 1000

Let's assume it was a made in America Old Timer knife like the one dad left me.
Uffta -- what a story! Apparently Jack London too was looking down on him.
