@patriciasawyer24 bear spray is a highly effective deterrent. Check out what the park service says about bear spray. I personally have used bear spray a number of times on problem bears with a great success rate. You have to understand your weapon for it to be effective. Most people greatly over estimate the distance bear spray is effective. It's about 10 feet. Outside that beat spray has no PRACTICAL effect.

I've heard salmon bears are pretty peaceful as far as grizzlies go. Way easier to monch on some salmon than to try and deal with a human. The interior grizzlies are often smaller but far more ferocious when it comes to hunting.
When my uncle lived in Alaska, he told us about the hand cannon he took fishing with him. I asked, why the hell do you need a firearm to fish? You're not shooting the fish. He said, sometimes, the bears want the same fish. Let them pick their spots, go down river and enjoy. If a bear wants your fish, let it. If a bear wants you, make sure you have a big enough caliber in your firearm. Me, being from Virginia, never thought of that. Sound advice though. Be prepared for whatever you may encounter in your environment and enjoy what nature has to offer. After going to Alaska myself about a month ago, I see why people love it so much. Can't wait to go back!
@@davida6146 Depends on where you live, but eating the meat of a predatory animal might be a bad idea, as they can contain bacteria and the larvae of dangerous parasites. Generally safe if prepared properly. Its a shame, because I hate the idea of animals being killed and their meat going to waste.
bear spray is concentrated Caspian an other such irritants. unless something went wrong in factory. a recent study has concluded bear spray is effective against bears 90% of the time. unfortunately there’s the remaining 10%

I fished that river a lot growing up and dealt with a lot of bears wanting to keep your fish. Just cut the line and move on haha no use fighting a bear for a salmon I aint john west lol
Charging is more of a defensive behavior. This one stopped chasing the salmon, looked at the people, began scent profiling the wind coming from them and then made a precarious small step toward them to center his body to them so that he could chase if we wanted to. The read was correct by the guide and the verbal command was obviously a useful cue to stop the curious probing this bear was beginning to display.
@@alton31ellis while, yes, the guide was correct in being defensive, this bear 100% had no interest in anything to do with the people. You see the red salmon in the water mid video. The bear sees them too and follows them as the salmon went downstream. However, the people are too close for the bears desire. When the bear follows the salmon but gets too close to the people , it stops. The bear was guaging whether to follow the salmon while being uncomfortably close to people, or to ditch the salmon while prioritizing it's own comfort & safety. There was definitely no aggressive intent by the bear
@@PackerManForLifeThe bear was obviously interested in these folks as he came up right near then sniffed at the air, seeking a cue. Like the OP says: he was assessing the situation.
Very polite bear. You said you have experience with this particular bear so he probably didn't consider you a threat because nothing has happened to him before when encountering you.
@@ForrestMccroy It's not. Several folks have been killed by bears while spraying the bear point blank right in the face. It keeps curious animals honest which is the vast majority of cases. It doesn't do a damn thing against a bear that's desperate to kill you because it hasn't eaten in weeks or extremely aggressive because you got too close to its cubs or startled the hell out of it and its now in fight mode. There have also been studies that some bears can build up a tolerance to it if they've been engaged with it several times. Much like pepper spray with humans. It's really effective when the person isn't committed and it's their first time. There're also some people where it has little effect at all. You see the same with dog spray. It also has a ridiculously short effective range. That means if the spray fails, you're now way too close to a very pissed off animal to engage with a firearm without taking some damage. This guy boasts about his 44mag that he carries not realizing that if the spray fails, he isn't getting that revolver out of its holster without getting mauled in the process. Most bear sprays have an effective range of around 10 ft. A bear can cover that distance in well under a second. That revolver isn't even going to clear leather before the bear gets to him. This is compounded by the fact that most bear sprays are deployed using two hands so it's difficult to have your revolver in one hand and the spray in the other.
Bears find sharp, loud and emphatic noises disturbing. So you could tell quickly “Have a good day hunting salmon cutie!” But do it menacingly and then you’re just being the most cordial and reassuring guide ever 😂👍🏻🐻
They are so beautiful. I would respect them enough to give them space. Obviously this man knows what he is doing. I'm glad nobody was hurt, including the bear.
If he's hungry, he would be more cautious about his approach, unless he's killed and eaten people before. He would circle them and test their defenses before committing to an attack. If he was enraged, he might ignore bear spray, but he isn't enraged/protecting a kill/a mother bear with cubs/caught by surprise.
@@CalebJacques You’re being silly naive about this! They’re nothing to play with. You and “your group” might be okay cause you know how to behave, but you are conditioning him to being too close to humans to decide if he wants to attack or back off. You’re not the only one going out there. Please be more responsible than this.
@@lindalarsson1436 I don't mind if they are there, but to believe you'll have control over a hungry or agitated half ton eating/sleeping/playing machine is a sign of lack of awareness.
@@ak_downrange_threat7251 You are correct, sir. But in the course of business, I did spray two angry Mexican dudes in an attempt to stop them from fighting. Didn't work.
A few things, I imagine, the first of those being the knowledge that a brown bear will very rarely attack a human (let alone a group of humans) without provocation. Carrying bear spray and a firearm doesn't hurt, either.
I would want a guide with a rifle, or better yet a rifle of my own and no guide. A handgun is nice backup, but that's about it. I would want a rifle in .375 or .458.
He knows these bears in particular. That goes a long way. Most bears will respond like this. Starving bears are the ones who won't. It looks like there's plenty of salmon around that the bear would prefer anyway.
They run so fast without making noise. At least the one in Alasks I encountered. I had no bear spray, but had a gun, it wasn't a magnum and instead of being on my person it was under my towels at the tree because I was about to floor on my floaters. My dog was on the bank and I started clapping my hands and calling her in the water with me. The grizzly stood up on its hinds turned around and ran away so fast without making it a sound. I was shaking as much as my pit bull. That was the day I realized my gun was inadequate especially if it wasn't on my person, and that my dog couldn't kill a grizzly by herself, that the bear could literally know my head off and send it rolling on the ground with one swipe of their paw, tgey have HUGE paws, the size of your head, how fast they can run and how silent they can be. I also, got a good dose of how mortal I truly am, and how much you should always respect the wild outdoors and the animals in it. Because all y9u are is a hink of meat.
I have always used that sound with my cats & dogs & it stops them from whatever they’re doing immediately but, I would never have dreamed it would work on an 800lb BEAR😳😳😂😂
Nice. I live in Boulder County Colorado and we have lots of bears. Not grizzlies but large brown in color black bears. I've crossed large bears paths in the forest and had them give me that look that says," hmmm is this guy worth messing with? Yeah no probably not..." I never had one charge but I have had them sneak up while I was barbecuing. Those times were a bit sketchy. Lol

Very polite bear. You said you have experience with this particular bear so he probably didn't consider you a threat because nothing has happened to him before when encountering you.
Bro is like: Y'all on MY turf and I'm supposed to walk around on eggshells? 😭
doesn't matter how much experience you have, the overconfidence in this situation is pure hubris. don't make promises you cant keep
Famous last words. When a hungry predator comes your way, hes trying to decide if your going to be his snack.
Spoken like someone that has never been to Alaska or seen Alaskan Bear Attack spray in use.
Hence the confrontational stance he took, the bear spray, and the 44 magnum…
You can always tell grizzly bear shit by the cowboy hat and sunglasses in it.
Crazy, cause most of the fatal maulings that happen where I live (Montana) are people form out of State.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you great job for saving these people
“Come on man! We’ve been friends for years! You still don’t trust me???”
Sometimes all bear spray does is piss them off even more.

If any makes contact with the eyes they cannot open their eyes, plain and simple.
This is 100% false
@@ForrestMccroy It's not. Several folks have been killed by bears while spraying the bear point blank right in the face. It keeps curious animals honest which is the vast majority of cases. It doesn't do a damn thing against a bear that's desperate to kill you because it hasn't eaten in weeks or extremely aggressive because you got too close to its cubs or startled the hell out of it and its now in fight mode. There have also been studies that some bears can build up a tolerance to it if they've been engaged with it several times. Much like pepper spray with humans. It's really effective when the person isn't committed and it's their first time. There're also some people where it has little effect at all. You see the same with dog spray.
It also has a ridiculously short effective range. That means if the spray fails, you're now way too close to a very pissed off animal to engage with a firearm without taking some damage. This guy boasts about his 44mag that he carries not realizing that if the spray fails, he isn't getting that revolver out of its holster without getting mauled in the process. Most bear sprays have an effective range of around 10 ft. A bear can cover that distance in well under a second. That revolver isn't even going to clear leather before the bear gets to him. This is compounded by the fact that most bear sprays are deployed using two hands so it's difficult to have your revolver in one hand and the spray in the other.
@@ak_downrange_threat7251 If he was really hungry it doesn't matter what bear spray you think will protect you.
A quick and gruff "Ehh" is all it takes. My grandmother would have been great at scaring off Grizzlies. lol.
Bears find sharp, loud and emphatic noises disturbing. So you could tell quickly “Have a good day hunting salmon cutie!” But do it menacingly and then you’re just being the most cordial and reassuring guide ever 😂👍🏻🐻
What a majestic animal!
It all goes this way until one day that bear decides it won’t go that way.
Amen
i hope it goes 🐻 way 😂
Like what just happened in Banff, sadly
@@user-te7wc7lh4r what happened?
And that bear proceeds to eat the guide and every other person in that party. Slowly
I like the bear family that shows at the background.
They are so beautiful. I would respect them enough to give them space.
Obviously this man knows what he is doing. I'm glad nobody was hurt, including the bear.
If he was hungry and decided to rush you, there's nothing you could have done to keep anyone safe
There's a ton I could do lol. What a silly thing to say
If he's hungry, he would be more cautious about his approach, unless he's killed and eaten people before. He would circle them and test their defenses before committing to an attack. If he was enraged, he might ignore bear spray, but he isn't enraged/protecting a kill/a mother bear with cubs/caught by surprise.
@@CalebJacques lol deranged😂
Semiautomatic 12 gauge shotgun slugs is the backup plan.
@@CalebJacques You’re being silly naive about this! They’re nothing to play with. You and “your group” might be okay cause you know how to behave, but you are conditioning him to being too close to humans to decide if he wants to attack or back off. You’re not the only one going out there. Please be more responsible than this.
"I'll keep everybody safe...". This dude is gonna be a statistic.
I agree. They shouldn't be there. If bear wants you. your a goner.
@@lindalarsson1436 I don't mind if they are there, but to believe you'll have control over a hungry or agitated half ton eating/sleeping/playing machine is a sign of lack of awareness.
sounds like someone in 2016 ; "I alone can fix it" 😅
@@ishkabibble2204 Spoken like someone that has never been to Alaska or seen Alaskan Bear Attack spray in use.
@@ak_downrange_threat7251 You are correct, sir. But in the course of business, I did spray two angry Mexican dudes in an attempt to stop them from fighting. Didn't work.
May God bless all those who help the poor human and animal alike! ♥️➕🕊🌷😇🛐🤗👍🏻🌟😘😍🐶
Wingtips ears are STUNNING
How one develops the confidence to not only face off a bear, but to ensure the safety of a group of strangers from a bear attack is beyond me
Or foolishness
Think its something to do with the .44 magnum he carries
A few things, I imagine, the first of those being the knowledge that a brown bear will very rarely attack a human (let alone a group of humans) without provocation. Carrying bear spray and a firearm doesn't hurt, either.
I would want a guide with a rifle, or better yet a rifle of my own and no guide. A handgun is nice backup, but that's about it. I would want a rifle in .375 or .458.
He knows these bears in particular. That goes a long way. Most bears will respond like this. Starving bears are the ones who won't. It looks like there's plenty of salmon around that the bear would prefer anyway.
Old timer was just checking to see if maybe you brought an extra picnic basket.
He's smarter than the average bear!
😂😂😂
He started the, aggressive I gotta take a shit walk, right at the end. 😂.
Hes sooooooooooooooo Beautiful 😍
Bear spray on a windy day what a great combination.
Why all good Guides pay attention to the direction the wind is blowing. Why you should only hire Experienced guides in Alaska.
From working in alaska I got some good up close bear stories. Man those Grizzlies can scale walls
Come on now, tell some 'good up close' bear stories; it's not gonna cost a penny!
They run so fast without making noise. At least the one in Alasks I encountered. I had no bear spray, but had a gun, it wasn't a magnum and instead of being on my person it was under my towels at the tree because I was about to floor on my floaters. My dog was on the bank and I started clapping my hands and calling her in the water with me. The grizzly stood up on its hinds turned around and ran away so fast without making it a sound. I was shaking as much as my pit bull. That was the day I realized my gun was inadequate especially if it wasn't on my person, and that my dog couldn't kill a grizzly by herself, that the bear could literally know my head off and send it rolling on the ground with one swipe of their paw, tgey have HUGE paws, the size of your head, how fast they can run and how silent they can be. I also, got a good dose of how mortal I truly am, and how much you should always respect the wild outdoors and the animals in it. Because all y9u are is a hink of meat.
@@amycunningham4801
AC_ You, are, wayyy, cooool....
I have always used that sound with my cats & dogs & it stops them from whatever they’re doing immediately but, I would never have dreamed it would work on an 800lb BEAR😳😳😂😂
Did the same, I said honk honk! and he chewed my leg off 😂
THE LOOK BACK and SNIF is a micro- aggressive move. STAY READY
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Micro aggressive 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for you're wisdom bear whisperer
BEAR LOOKS LIKE HE'S HAD A TOUGH TIME IN HIS LIFE, PLEASE LEAVE HIM BE IF YOU CAN! THANK YOU-
How can you tell that he’s had a rough time? His fur was wet.
Thinking the same... he looks very skinny...
@@rjlovell1 BC I'M "KARMAC THE GREAT!"
I agree about leaving all wildlife alone ❤
Unless that bear charges at him it’s Gonna be on the ground or a bear rug
All those salmon swimming by caught his eye
He's just coming to say hello and to see if you have any honey boo-boo😂😂
That bear looked like he was getting up there in years. I wonder how old he was?
old enough to start looking at people as easy prey😮
It's probably territorial, that is his fishing spot. I wouldn't run the risk personally.
Bro forgot about the wind😂
Like how he slowly "cowboy" steps away! 😊
Looks like a bearfood training video to me!
He’s got some cool ears
Bears are majestic creatures
i like that he was polite, wasn't too aggressive towards the bear, didn't have to yell or try to scare the bear away or anything, some ppl overdo it
Bear spray isn't gonna keep your group safe if a Grizzly really wants to attack you.
Eh at least the mace will blind everyone so at least they don't have to watch while getting chewed upon
The big gun he has will
@@winchestersons6258if you are even able to get a shot off, all it would do is piss a hungry bear off.
@@cwstewartjr1973 you would have plenty of time to notice a bear charging you and a decent size rifle will stop a grizzly in its tracks.
@@winchestersons6258 plenty of time huh? Ok
The bear was like I almost didn't recognise you with the shade's on 😂
Wow he is beautiful
Nice. I live in Boulder County Colorado and we have lots of bears. Not grizzlies but large brown in color black bears. I've crossed large bears paths in the forest and had them give me that look that says," hmmm is this guy worth messing with? Yeah no probably not..." I never had one charge but I have had them sneak up while I was barbecuing. Those times were a bit sketchy. Lol
I like how the comments are calling out the utter stupidity of this video lmao
