Back in the 1950’s Lloyd “Penny” Pennington was doing what he loved, flying over the Alaska back country and checking out potential hunting areas. His favorite was to watch brown bears as they prepared to den up, as their behavior at that season was a tell as to where they would den for the winter. The bears would tend to lay near their desired denning spot for several days seemingly waiting for the season to finally turn past the point where they would need to give into hibernation. As he scanned the scrub below, he found exactly what he was looking for on the hillside above SnowShoe Lake.
The season did finally change long after Penny had returned home and began waiting out the long, cold winter at his lodge, a dozen or so miles east of Gunsight Mountain Lodge. It was located a few hours up the Glenn Highway and offered easy access to the back country and pursuit of his passions, hunting and fishing. As the dark twilight of winter faded and the weeks wore on, springtime began to signal it’s arrival. In the lower elevations the snow began to melt and leaves started to bud. This was Lloyds sign that the bears hibernating in higher elevations would be leaving their dens soon.
Lloyd contacted his close friend, Everett Kendall, his longtime barber and friend who had expressed a desire to bag a giant bruin before hanging up his hunting rifle for good. The two men lifted off in Lloyd’s bush plane and were soon among the clouds and headed toward the hibernating behemoth.
The mountains and trees passed by as if it were a giant piece of art. The lush spring greenery is broken by white patches of snow and ice. Deep blue lakes as pure as any water in the world sparkled below as the bush plane started to descend toward their planned destination.
As the plane skidded to a stop on the patch of ice, the hunters began to focus on the task at hand. Lloyd immediately disconnected his seat belt and began digging through his gear to locate his rifle and binoculars. The two men disembarked the plan and briefly discussed their plan to bring the beautiful, powerful bruin home.
As they hiked up the ice patched trail they kept a watchful on the hill side above them for any wildlife, both for the sights they may see but also to avoid any dangerous confrontations. The trail climbed a few hundred feet and the men started to feel their age and lack of physical fitness. They pause to glass the muskeg below them for any signs of life.
After a few hours of slow progress they arrived at the line of trees that marked where the bear was still denned up. Lloyd cautiously made his way to within a few yards of the opening of the den and noticed that the bear had already opened the snow at the entrance. This was a sign that Lloyd was all too familiar with, and he immediately understood that the bear would be emerging within just a few hours, and be extremely hungry.
The two men, weary from their hike, decide to go about a hundred yards down the hill and enjoy a cigarette. As they make their way down the hill they discuss the point from which they will plan to shoot the bear and the best way to recover the carcass. Lloyd finds a small tree that was blown over and the two men settle in for a smoke and small talk. They lit up their smokes and shared short stories about their life experiences and put their cigarettes out to get ready to get in place.
As Kendall is starting to stand he hears a loud roar and looks up to see the largest bear leaping toward him faster than he could process the predicament he and his friend were in. The saliva frothed from the deadly predator's mouth and its 5 inch claws seemed to grow in size upon sight. The elderly hunter tried to turn and run but only got about 3 steps into his retreat when the enormous force of the impact of the bear's attack drove him face first into a hard frozen snow bank. His rifle tumbled uselessly through the air and clattered onto the gravel bar several feet from the hapless hunter, now prey. The bear's giant canine teeth tore through the back of his skull and extinguished the light of his life in an instant.
At that moment, Lloyd had just watched his long time friend be killed before he could even click his safety off. The athletic and hungry bear turned from Kendall and glared at Lloyd for a split second before he turned and charged toward Lloyd.
Lloyd fired once, twice, three times striking the bear in the foot but not hitting anything vital and unable to slow the muder minded predator.

"Put their cigarettes out" No wonder the bear came looking for them smelling like an ashtray in a pristine wilderness. No serious hunter would smoke on a hunt which gives their presence away for miles. Orchestrated their own demise IMO.
Yeah I think the seventies ethics were a little bit different in many ways. I'm hoping that we are improving as a society in our view of animals and wilderness
@@lindaarrington9397 "In my opinion". IMHO is the abbreviation for "in my humble opinion".
The same thing I said, the "cigarette break" sealed the deal, they were caught off guard
Maybe the tobacco companies should include danger of Grizzlies along with Cancer on the cigarette pack. Maybe more people would quit!
@@scarybearattacks The hunters: Oh! Food ahead! The bear: Not if I smell you first.
Maybe I'm a moron but hunting bears in dens you scope out with an airplane doesn't seem very sporty.
& still failed at killing it .
It's not . Seems rather Cowardly in fact
The bear had the greater advantage. The hunters had an airplane, guns and numbers, the bear had superior smell, strength, speed, hearing, endurance, and familiarity of the area. Bears are also very intelligent and can use indirect tactics to catch their prey. Their hides are thick and bones, dense. Several gunshots may not bring one down. If anything, these guys were underdogs.
@@tek87 the bears probably win half the time
Yes indeed
Let me get this straight: they went to shoot a bear, found it coming out of hibernation, then stayed near its den and lit cigarettes? Of course the bear smelled them and their smoke. Guess they weren't thinking clearly. And how about the dude who got off three shots at close range and hit only the bear's foot? He had no business being anywhere around there.
I know.
He should have dropped to one knee as soon as the bear hit his friend so he could level with the bear and shoot. Firing down on a charging bear is a bad idea, and certainly why he hit a foot rather than the chest.
also, characterizing the bear as "hateful" is part of the problem. When we anthropomorphize animals, we tend to forget they DON'T process thought and emotion the way humans do. They live to eat and breed. Period. The animal didn't "hate" anyone. It was going about the business of being a bear. Find something to eat, then find more things to eat and eventually make some baby bears. When we get used to thinking - even subconsciously - that ANY animals are motivated in the same ways that we are, we set ourselves up for potential problems - whether that animal is a bear or a strange dog. Always proceed with caution.
My thoughts, exactly!
@Paul Absolutely no question about it. I am many things, but "stupid" isn't one of them.
This seems like cheating, waiting for a hungry bear outside his home seems wrong.
It’s how most bear hunts happen.
@@saltedllama2759 that’s funny, I know a guide and it wasn’t too long ago that he went out and took three rich assholes out, winter or very early spring and ALL three got a bear. Not sure what happened to the meat but I know I ended up with one of the hides because the “hunters” shot, killed flew out but never came back for the hides, nor did they even reply to calls. They didn’t give a f**k less what happened, they clearly only showed up to kill 3 VERY HEALTHY bears.
If one takes meat good, if one gets a trophy while harvesting the meat good, if one goes out and wakes a Bruin up to its own personal nightmarish he’ll just for the hide, don’t DARE list them in the same category as I or any of my native HUNTER brothers who actually only HUNT for food. I know exactly how the bears I mentioned were harvested.
ADF&G…what a joke of a corrupt gang of crony’s.
It's also illegal.
There is no such thing as fair in hunting. Bears have been known to kill unarmed people in their sleep. At least they were going to wait till the bear woke up to shoot it.
Waiting for a 1000 lb starving beast is not really a good idea right they just got distracted for a little bit and because of that got killed
If you’re close enough to see it without optical aid then the grizzly can smell your scent.
Yea, and the cigarettes didnt help
Dude: Please keep your tense consistent. Present is perfect. Don’t mix it with past
Bears have incredible senses particularly the olfactory sense. If tge wind is right they smell for miles. If that's not clear enough, I read that they smell several times greater than the Famed Bloodhound. Again kudos on the incredibly well written and dramatic Narration.
I know this was during the 1950s when the predominant narrative was the 'man vs beast' thing, but this story is 'bear vs idiots'.
Exactly!
Can you imagine waking up from a long sleep, walking outside and being blown away
Ya I live in the hood.
@@marietaylor9032 at least you don’t have to worry about bears in the hood
Waste of a sleep really
Bears are not people, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
or waking up and having two breakfast burgers waiting!!
This bear's cub wrote a memoir titled "Let Sleeping Bears Lie". Available on Amazon Prime.
I can bearly believe you. I don’t remember anyone saying it was a Sow with a cub. 🙃
There's no anger or hate from a bear, bear behaving like a bear!!!
Ive seenbhate in animals eyes
Malice that what come after the hate look
Like teeth ripping into a leg.
My little dog came from the co. Pound
They reported that he was abusedvon 3 different homes by..MEN...
When i got him he was mad bit had bit a guuy and i took him.
When a man comes here no matter y⁴ i see hate in his eyes
Poor u.p.s guy. Fry a
qqand he has malice towards men. If they are family or friends hes a happy little critter but. Poor U.P.S GUY
hes just stupid to step down
Ive even told him the story and not to step down
Theres hate in busters eyes. Now picture a grizzly like that
Oh, beard do get angry. Hate? Maybe.
To be accurate, the narrator said "rage." Bears can definitely rage.
kill all bears, these animals don't deserve to live in this world.
the only land apex predator in the whole world that eats all of their prey alive.
when all other apex predators hunt, they kill their prey and then eat it. There are rare occassions when animals like lions and tigers hunt prey far larger than themselves, it is impossible for them to kill the prey so they have to do what they do.
but bears are horrible, they will attack a human and start eating them alive.
they will attack a dog and start eating them alive.
they will attack a deer and start eating them alive.
etc.
i hate bears, they are the only ones that do this when they are literally THE MOST capable animals of killing their preys.
@@esperago rage and revenge for hurting them.
I’ve never understood why the animals in incidents are hunted down and killed. It’s their turf.
Basically, once a man eater always a man eater.
The main reason that top praetors don't hunt people is that they fear people. And that is because any that don't fear people get killed by people.
But in this situation it doesn't feel right. like someone else said it was more a bear self-defenses than a bear attack
@@SilverMe2004 that is an older school of thought. The jury is still out on that topic. Only twice in modern human history has that been true. The man eaters of Tsavo and more recently with Gustav the African crocodile on the Zambezi river. The lions were killed and Gustav hasn’t eaten a man or been seen in years.
Bears do want to have anything to do with people & will avoid us as much as possible. The only time bears begin to kill people for food is if they are old, lame or are starving to death. There are no studies that prove a bear will continue to hunt people once it tastes human flesh except in the rare cases I mentioned.
If we think about it, momma bears aren’t killed for attacking out of self defense, they’ve tasted humans.
Polar bears will actively hunt humans but prefer…anything else over us. Tigers also actively hunt humans same story though. They prefer other animals. Fun trivia; a tiger will never attack what it thinks can see it so the workers in India will wear masks on the back of their heads to prevent an attack.
You’re 100% right though this was a bear acting in self defense.
@@marcusstormm7591 crocodile will eat anything. But as ambush predators they don't actively hunt anything. That still doesn't stop humans from 'removing' man eaters. The same goes for sharks.
There are about 2 predation attacks by bears in the US each year. Most of them are by grown male black bears. But I suspect that the number of bears killed by humans each year is higher. And there are cases of sow with cubs being ' destroyed ' because they had eaten someone.
In most cases where an animal is a known man eater they are not given a second chance to reoffend. So it's a bit hard to prove one-way or the other.
However probably the best example of known man eaters not being ' dealt with' is in India where wearing a mask on the back of your head lessens the chance of being attacked by a tiger while illegally working in the tiger reserves. I'm not saying that we should kill man-eaters. But you'll find it hard to get volunteers to test the theory
your home is thier turf as well. but better people than you took care of the dangerous predators for you, a while back. Why aren't you thanking them for making the land safe ? maybe you don't deserve it.
So they were going to shoot the bear as it came out of the hibernation den? Well that's not fair in my opinion. Not that I agree with killing bears at all. So they were smoking a hundred yards away from the den, well that was like saying "We're here bear " cause the bear would have smelt the smoke, and the scent of a human. So I take it it the bear had come out of the den, or was it another bear? As experienced hunters they should have known better. Still sad though.
How could they know so much about what happened if both hunters died? Did the poor bear have a camera?
Journal?
@@marjorjorietillman856 well no. cuz then how would 2 dead guys write journal entries abt their own deaths? lmao im thinking maybe they had ppl come to the scene and try to piece together what happened. like, there would be evidence of the 2 smoking, youd find the butts on the ground or in some kind of ashtray, and judging by the position of their remains and the position of all the blood (there wouldve been tons), you could figure out who was attacked first and where. after that, our storyteller friend probably tossed in bits of his own theories, and wrote a narrative script for himself.
@@entr0pix Yes, I have to concede to you on this one!
It’s pretty easy to reenact a bear attack…
"It's yah boy smokey the bear. Aboutta clap a couple grade A pricks trying to kill me in my sleep!"
The bear was called a dangerous predator. He was just being what GOD created him to be. Seams to me he should have been left alone.
This 💯💯💯. With all due respect for the loss of the hunters lives, please leave the bears alone. I'm against hunting, especially Bears. Now, the Bear had to die because of hunters having to get a trophy kill. 3 lives lost. Sad situation all the way around .
Absolutely and I don't have sympathy for hunters or poachers.
@@kenhamaker 👍🏼💔
@@kenhamaker Thats a narrow view, it depends on their lifestyle. If you live like that then cool, but some people live remotely and have to hunt to live and kill other predators that can kill them or out compete them, that’s just us as animals participating in the food cycle as we always have. Don’t see the issue, I don’t hunt but not everyone lives off Whole Foods. That said rich dicks who fly to Africa to shoot an elephant are garbage.
The hunters were the dangerous predators.
The guy at 20 feet from the bear should've remembered a secret to fighting bears: Rub poop in their eyes. Where's the poop? Reach behind you it's there already....
It's difficult to feel sympathy for these old fools. They certainly earned their Darwin Award, tf were they thinking 😊
So let me get this straight two Hunters wait by a Bears Den to kill a bear. The bear and some turning the tide and kills the hunters. And for some reason the bear is blamed for protecting its den and it's life but it ends up being the bad guy? Something ain't right there
It bear-ly makes any sense to me either. 2 clowns vs a hungry bear 🤡 🤡 🐻
“To locate and eliminate the violent predator” ...... sounds more like homo sapien than Ursus horribillis :)
Am enjoying your vids. Great presentations.
Wow! You have no idea how much I appreciate your compliments! I am glad you enjoy them and it's my pleasure to provide them for you :)
i agree ...............the violent predator is the man
@@andreascala2663 that's deep man
I just TOTALLY LOVE your channel, PLEASE keep this AMAZING content coming!!! I've always been fascinated with bears, and bear hunting. THANKS FOR THIS GREAT CHANNEL BROTHER!!!!
Will do my friend! I really appreciate you stopping by and I hope to make better and better quality products for you!
Whats the point of shooting death such a mighty being...!??
You DON'T even proof YOUR skills by hiding far away and blow the bear away with a modern hunting rifle !
In my opinion, it is only the burning envy of other men's considerably larger primary genitals that drives you to such unproductive and morally more than questionable stupidities!

Look at you w over 5k subs!! I remember when you had 700,like 2 weeks ago.
Keep up the great work! Love from Alaska 🌌
Lost their lives for a stuffed bear they never killed. Pretty stupid. They should have stayed home instead of trying to ambush that bear... What goes around comes around... may the bear RIP.
I am a big game hunter and would NOT ever do anything like this, shooting a brown bear or any bear in hibernation in a den. These were not HUNTERS but akin to poachers. Their also extremely poor shots, I mean hit the bear in the foot, that's pathetic. Unskilled and unprepared, against a now awake super predator. Sorry for their foolishness and the sadness their actions caused the family. The term HUNTER is not appropriate in this account.
Amen. Well said🤬
Well they will not be making those mistakes again .
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
To be fair they were waiting until it cam out of its den before "hunting" it. also I don't believe anyone is prepared to get eaten by a bear, so to judge them as 'extremely poo shots' is a bit harsh particularly as that seem to be a common occurrence in all of these stories.
@@SilverMe2004 don’t go hunting for bears if you aren’t prepared for that possibility
This bear wasn't just hungry he had been hunted before, and didn't like it!
I wonder if they thought the Bear wouldn't smell their cigarette smoke, let alone them.
Kill or be killed, dangerous game.At least the bear didn’t drag the man home to mount his head in his den.
Those bears are pretty badass to be able to take two hunters at once.
I'm not one of these crazy animal people, even though I'm in awe of and respect all animals. Is it me or, does anyone else not feel bad for a bear hunter, when he gets attacked? I feel bad for his/ her family but not the hunter. He literally is seeking out the bear to KILL it and stop it from existing.. It's 100 percent different then when an innocent person gets mauled by a trouble some bear. the hunter signed up to play the game and lost, with a powerful weapon non the less. Its not the 1800s anymore where you need that hide for a blanket. It's strictly for a trophy and the experience of taking a life. Sorry not sorry.
I totally agree ☆
MAN is the predator,not the bear.
Why does Man think the earth belongs only to him?
I agree. Plus, what a dirty cheap shot waiting for him to leave his den after hibernating all winter! Very poor sportsmanship. I don’t think that even counts as hunting.
I've been charged by a brown bear in Alaska and been stocked by a griz and charged here in mt. I was on horseback and I didn't have to say giddyup. I have no desire be around one now. But hunting bears teach th to avoid
@@waynemiller8094
Brown Bears & Grizzly Bears, are the same thing.
I am binge watching these videos....I didn't even know bears stink til I started watching these videos
I don't have much sympathy for bear hunters who get killed by the bears they were trying to kill. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. This was more of a bear self-defense than a bear attack.
You'd think differently when thousands of years ago that was the only way to feed your family that now has the luxury of McDonalds and a stupid IPhone all day.
Lot of people that still hunt do so to eat or for livelihood (selling meat/pelts), and hunting is far more humane than going and buying meat at a grocery store.
Instead, I have no sympathy for people that feed wild animals and endanger the community and the wild animal's life in a stupid selfish way or who sit on their fat butts all day burning carbon fossil fuels, overbuying material items for their self serving needs, and dumping out kids in an overpopulated world thus endangering wildlife habitat with human encroachment and deforestation. Would rather have the bear eat them.
@@aa-ze5cz You act like these were natives who were hunting for survival. These were trophy hunters who probably weren't even going to eat the meat from the bear they killed because bear meat is typically not good-eating and carries lots of parasites. If this was a deer hunter or an elk hunter I might have more sympathy, but these guys went out looking for a bear.
@@PatrickPierceBateman Did it say these were trophy hunters? Perhaps I didn't catch it but if not how do you know? Regardless, bear meat is good and depends on what the bear's recent diet was (bears eating mostly fish is not the best) but it's often cooked and eaten and used in stews, etc. Have you ever eaten it? I have and it's quite tasty.
As for your comment about parasites, that's true, I would avoid medium rare bear steak as it needs to be properly cooked but it's very good in things like stew or roasts that go a little longer (unlike cattle/beef roast). It's a fairly uncommon meat, because unlike cow, deer, bison, boar, etc. bears are not domesticated for their meat (likely due to the high danger/risk of keeping such an animal). If they could be domesticated like the aforementioned animals, you'd cook it rare non-stop and willing to bet quite a few people would enjoy it. That said, even cooking it longer to avoid getting sick, it's still quite good. Not everyone is in it for the trophy...
@@aa-ze5cz 2 things,
one was a barba wanting a trophy before retiring
the other was flying a plane.
IDK how cheap fuel is up there but you'll have a hard time convincing me that it didn't cost more in fuel to 'hunt' that bear than to buy meat from the grocery store
If we were not on top of the food chain, and that death by praetor was not a risk they chose, I would indeed have sympathy for them. but they went out looking for this.
@@aa-ze5cz it's not thousands of years ago tho is it? It's 2022 and the reason these hunters are doing it is for sports and enjoyment of seeing innocent animals killed for their sick pleasure 🤮
I don't understand one thing why does the friend always just watch while he has a weapon . Even a few second makes s big difference between
shock is a crazy thing. ur brain almost stops functioning, u freeze up and u cant think, u can only watch in horror. hopefully, youll never come to understand that specific feeling.
@@entr0pix thanks for the heads up. Have you ever seen a bear?
I’m addicted to your videos , I stay up all night watching them 😄 good job !
Humans are so arrogant. Why kill the bear?
Are we to feel sorry for these men who intenionly located bear dens to kill them as they emerged from hibernation? I don't feel sorry for them whatsoever. Score 2-1 for the bear..
Sadly these guys really did put themselves in the bear’s cross-hairs in every way possible and paid the worst possible price ... just shattering !!
Humans r surprised, when bears attack. They r doing what is natural in the wild. They r territorial.
Alaska - So much beauty and beast together
Leave the grizzly's alone.
Yep. Best thing to do
Love all your video's
Thank you for these videos. I normally wouldn’t watch vids like this but I just moved to a property that has bear crossing through my yard to go into or come out of the woods behind my house. I used to live in the Great North Woods in NH. and the only bear I ever saw was a rug on my grandpa’s wall. NOw I’m in Connecticut on a busy st but the bear, turkeys, deer, coyotes and bobcat don’t seem to care they just want to go through the yard to get to some woods. I do not feed them. I don’t leave food out so they just mosey on through so far. Now I’m here trying to learn about bears. I have bear spray and I’m vigilant but I really need to learn what to and what not to do. I also think I should keep a rifle close by. What caliber is going to take down a bear?
Thank you and stay safe my friend!
And more importantly a good handgun or two. When it charges or gets closer, I’m thinking you’re going to want a handgun. Maybe that’s stupid of me. . If you need the handgun over the rifle. .you’re already mauled
get a good bear spray also. hope someone who knows answers your question
The Smith and Wesson .500 will do the trick. But better to not need it. I live in CT as well and my parents have black bears in their yard all the time. Unless it’s a sow with cubs, most bears out east are in general less aggressive than their western/elsewhere counterparts. In CT for the most part, if you leave bears alone they leave you alone. Thank goodness we don’t have brown bears.
I also live in Connecticut and last year the police in West Hartford, in a very residential area discovered a bear hibernating in a hollow tree in a backyard. After appropriate state agencies came out and investigated, the Bear was left alone to be a 🐻, it was gone by spring.
Great stories man. Keep up the good work.
Thank you my friend!
How do you know this is how it went down if they are both dead?
Several people on here asked the same question, I thought I was the only one who realized that someone would have to have been there to witness what happen. What really raises an eyebrow is, how the storyteller knew what people were thinking??
@@kingsoren2010 I suppose taking literary license makes it seem more dramatic, but I do not think its necessary and there is no way of knowing what they were "thinking".
@ 7:26 "...locate and eliminate the violent predator" Don't worry the bear has already done that.
I don't see why the bear had to die...it already had to fight for it's life and won against two armed seasoned hunters..i believe that is fair as fair gets. Why kill a bear to collect bodies? tell you what, if it's ever my body, just let the bear have it.
Once a bear kills a human it has to be shot. Otherwise it will kill other humans
That wasn’t even hunting - that was cheating, and that bear won fair and square. He didn’t deserve to be hunted down and killed.
Good video.......thank you!!!
Love your vids. Can you make em longer 💪🏿

Theres a true story of a teen who was out hunting
I believe last year or 1 before
His granny told him if ever attacked by bear shove yourfist down its throat
He was. He did it saved him
Hope you portray that story
It was big news somewhere outwest.
People don't realize how fast grizzlys are .. most shoot over the bears back... Kneel on one knee and shoot from there... It puts your bullets at the same level as the bear.
Bears aren't capable of anger and hate... they're bears. No reason for a bear to be killed to avenge the death of two somewhat foolish humans. Glad they got that last smoke in though. 👍 I feel bad for their families who lost them due to naiveté on how bears are apex predators.
Who the hell goes out in the woods when bears are just coming out of hibernation absolutely starving
I just subscribed half hour ago so this is only my third video but I got to admit that the stories are so compelling that it's hard to stop watching them. About 20 years ago my friends mother took a pic of a black bear outer kitchen window. This bear was literally in downtown Norwich Connecticut. There were woods were the back of this house was but the house was basically right in the city. I've never run into a black bear here in New England at all but they're here. I was heading to work one night for overtime at 2:30 a.m. and I came upon a massive female mountain lion walking down the breakdown lane. It wasn't a soul around so I pulled up behind it and it stopped turned around and gave one loud ass snarly growl. I couldn't believe how big it was.From nose to the tip of its tail had to be between 5 and 6 ft..I love how these Town select men decide what is and isn't in these towns they're elected to. For one thing animals don't really give two s**** about borders and secondly how in the hell would one know when you're talking millions of acres of forested land? They're spotted often than nothing Connecticut and so isn't Sasquatch. I don't think people understand how much woods are out there. It's a joke to hear someone say that they have nowhere to hide.when I'm in the woods I try to Make some noise. The last thing you want to do is surprise anything. The stories are horrifying but one can learn quite a bit from this channel.
Thank you! Connecticut is supposed to be pretty modern and urbanized but your story is proof that bear country is everywhere! They don't respect our boundaries because they are survivors very similar to us.
@@scarybearattacks the truth of the matter is that Connecticut and Rhode island are both approximately 60% woodland. The farther you go north it's even more so.. many millions of acres to be had.
I know how crazy this sounds but one summer 10 years ago my wife and I saw a Bigfoot standing on the side of the road approximately 9:00 p.m. . it was a dead straight road and I am quite sure it's all the headlights coming at it for a long time. Huge red eyes the size of silver dollars. it looked like it stepped to the right and disappeared into thin air but we were literally 20 feet from it before it decided to step to the right like that. These things are being seen everywhere. The town we were in is called Lisbon and it is extremely rural. There were railroad tracks in close proximity and also a town landfill so maybe it had been on its way to the land so I don't know. The town puts out a monthly flyer thing and there was an ad in the flyer asking if any citizens of Lisbon had spotted a Sasquatch as of late. I did call and a woman at also seen the same creature I believe in the very same proximity. This being wanted us to see it that's all I can say because it stood there and only moved when we were literally 20 feet from it and we were not going fast either. The wife was screaming bloody murder. Something I'll never forget. There are many reports around Litchfield and Windham county here in Connecticut. Sorry I'm so long-winded I just wanted to mention that
I have a question. if both those guys were killed how did anyone know what exactly happened ? I really don't think there was some bear hunters C.S.I unit in the fifties. this story sounds like something from sports afield magazine. I also don't believe the previous story about the bear burying itself to ambush the hunters. it may have buried itself for some reason because it knew it was dying but there is no way they are that intelligent to plan ahead at that level. I hunt. believe me, alot of hunters are full of shit.
@@ChildofYah1971 Its called story telling.
So it was know that they were going to hunt a bear. It would have been obvious to the hunter that found them that it was a bear attack. The hunters probably traced both the men's and the bear's tracks back to the den. This may have been used as a cautionary tale about smoking while hunting, the cigarette butts found at the seen.
As for the ambush. I would suggest that the bear was hiding from the violent praetors, like it use to as a cub, but they got too close.
My thoughts exactly, to tell such graphic details, and even saying what the hunters were thinking, YET there were no witnesses, no recordings to verify the story. Said the same thing in my comment. I thought nobody gave this any thought but me.
@@kingsoren2010 right on Jay !
As soon as I heard they walked away to have a smoke I yelled at them. Amateurs..That sleeping bear could come out at any moment.hungry and you decide to divert your attention to.....smoking...Do you realize how fast they can run? And the 2nd guy shoots bear in the foot..amatuer
Underestimate
This product definitely delivers what it says on the tin ... "100% Scary Bear Attacks Inside"
They went looking for a big bear to kill, but soiled themselves when one showed up. Big game hunting at its finest.
Also, bears don't hate. And when they come out of hibernation, they are not robust
Thank you, I enjoyed that one!
Thank you!
I don't consider them hunters myself because they literally went to the den to shot the bear, absolutley no sport in that beside the fact a bear is famished when it comes out of hibernation, all around bad idea
Hunters: 🚬🤠
Bear: ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES 🚭
4:34- Smoke break bear becomes bathroom break bear.
Wow. Was the bear actually the "good guy" for once?
Bear is bear. That is good.
Uumm, didn't they know better than to be smoking!? They HAD to have known not to be smoking especially near hibernating bears!!
I would say he should have been packing a canon in that neighborhood.
Normally I feel sorry for people killed by bears but since these guys were looking for trouble the only one I feel sorry for is the bear that they killed after it defended itself from the men who were hunting it.
I'm not against hunting, but I am an animal lover so I do root for the animals to get a win from time to time.. Saw a glorious video of a Deer charging a hunter and just drilled him... the man survived. I by far prefer a hunter with all the advantages to be killed than an innocent camper or hiker.
Serve’s them right I’m glad the bear got them, it’s just a shame they caused the bears death
congratulations, you think like a murderer.
Never change the narrator...dude sounds like a middle age, high Napoleon Dynamite
😅
Outstanding details from two dead people.
Or forensic scientists.. if you believe in facts, so...
Once up in Edmonton, Alberta I was served a most delicious cheese burger...then afterwards was told it was a bear burger. I was glad they didn't tell me before hand...because I would not have eaten it...and thus missed out on a real treat. Unfortunately not readily available in Southern Cal.
That bear killed ONLY to protect his self. He didn’t eat them.
They should not have killed the bear.
Gotta say, too bad for these crybaby hunters.
Just coming out of hibernation, ravenousley hungry...need I say more? People are stupid. Poor bear 🐻
Stupid is as stupid does.
smokey the bear hates an open flame
Maybe there are certain corners of the planet that we, as humans, should just leave be.
The moment the two men stood outside the Bear's den their fate was sealed. This was an attempt to predate by the two men and they lost their lives via stupidity. Bears are super intelligent and they are not friendly to trespassers.
Hunting an apex predator is a dangerous game and the win is never in the bag. Personally I feel the search/hunting party should have gathered their friends remains and left. I feel the bear earned it's life.
Rally sorry that happened. In that kind of county and knowing Bears, someone needs to be on point constantly. Because of the cover and the speed and depending on the approach, the odds of seeing them before they are too close are not good. I live about 10 miles from where mountain bikers got killed by Mountain Lion here in So Cal. When I'm in that kind of clover in an isolated area I stay prepared to be attacked any moment. You know the bear smelled those guys 1000 yards off or more... Really a bummer, again, really sorry for them.
I thought about unsubbing because I keep watching these right before sleep! Hell with it, I'll still watch. I'll never be w/o bear spray or a large cal firearm if deep in the woods that is for sure. Even then, the odds are probably still on the bear's side cause they can be so stealthy and fast.
🤣
I've had a few bear attack nightmares myself lol
What does Bruin mean? Ive heard both black and brown beats refered to as such.
I will never understand how someone can take pleasure in killing such a magnificent creature.
I know ppl who grew up hunting for food, that makes sense since manufactured food is poisonous.
My analysis they seem to be excellent hunters but you just don't know at what angle a angry bear comes out of know where n charges you n if you don't get that perfect shot just sheer adrenaline out of these angry bears he's not goin down do not underestimate there adrenaline wow
For that matter there could have been bears other than the one they were watching nearby and they could have been attacked by those bears. Fact remains when you go into the wild you go into territory and you're playing by their rules guns or no
My brother hunted them with a bow
q1i told him he was nuts but he was lucky and an experienced hunter
Not excellent hunters more like slob hunters . They should have known the bear was awake and no one smokes on a hunt , because cigarette smoke will carry a good distance and contaminate the hunters clothing with that smell . And their lackadaisical attitude shows either cockiness or stupidity especially hunting a hungry bear .
I agree with comment below. Why can't bears have a life in peace. Hunters pass off.
.....wanna dance.....gotta pay the band sometimes......lol
It's a good point! We all think that when we venture into the great outdoors that we're just going to bond with nature but what we don't understand is that we're going to participate in their economy based on calories.
Love your channel, interesting and factual. People say Australia is dangerous but we don’t have large apex predators…except salties and maybe cassowaries. If a bear attacked me, it better like its prey covered in excrement.
😅 I understand but like EVERYTHING can kill you in Australia. Frigging ridiculous!
@@scarybearattacks 🤣🤣🤣
Fair point, but you guys can keep all those goddamn spiders! No thanks!
You shouldn't be hunting bear when you clearly don't really think. That bear probably smelled you and then you just go sit down with your backs turned like nothing would happen. Then you get 3 shots and hit it in the foot. This was probably never going to end well.
It is a very interesting story in the amount of familiarity those guys had with bears and how lackadaisical they were in my opinion
The bear is the victim of this story in the end.
What's with the sudden bear attack. Just cause they smelt like cigarettes and the bear was probably starving?
I don’t know why they think they have the right to go kill the bear.
So let me get this straight, they go into a bears territory at the beginning of spring when they know bears are most aggressive, they know that they are not in good physical shape anymore and they end up getting killed for their own stupidity and the bear gets killed for just being a bear in its own habitat? That doesn’t make sense at all
We are not an apex predator without an army,bears are.
The bear was simply protecting himself from being hunted.
That bear was minding his business in his home territory. F around and find out.
Nothing against hunting I knows a generational tradition but gotta side with bear on this one for sure
Two hunters. Both with guns. Still get killed.
But their choice to hunt the ultimate hunter.
I try to imagine how I'd feel if I hadn't eaten in 5 or 6 months after coming out of a deep sleep. Then I see two cheeseburgers on legs walk right up to me. I'd be a little surprised for a brief moment but gnawing hunger would overtake me and those cheeseburgers would stand no chance. Now just imagine a ravenous bear. It's burned off all its hibernation weight and has to fatten up all over again to prepare for hibernation in the fall. It has one thing on its mind more than anything else: eat as much as it can. Whatever is walking is a source of protein. That's why as a human, I choose to stay out of their habitat. Any who decide to go in should try to minimize the risk but in the end, there's always a chance however small that the bears will try to prey on you.
I only wish to say that I hope these men didn't pass on their genes before their deserved end.
😳
What an unsporting way to hunt. I hunted as a kid, but sitting outside a den is like standing over somebody's bed. Gotta say good on the bear for this one.
