I hope everyone's day is a good one! I am hoping to maintain a schedule of releasing new episodes each Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening around 6 PM. If you like this regularly scheduled episode release, show me by clicking the like button on this post. Have a great day!
How many times have we heard of somebody scouting for game before hunting season alone and unarmed, running into trouble with bears? It seems to be a recurring theme. Go with one other person and go with bear spray and firearms.
Yes these grizzlies are not in fear of humans and know they can overpower us. Chris did all he could thankful he lived! Thank you Addicus I hope your doing well this was an awesome story
Bad timing for both. I can’t blame Mama Bear for protecting her cubs. But I can’t blame Chris for being where he was. Sometimes humans and nature collide.
Had been blissfully unaware (like many) I believed bear attacks were few and far between, but after watching your channel I realize they’re far more numerous. I live in utah & frequent mountains, and I no longer hike alone or without a firearm and bear spray.
It's actually laughable how the average person thinks bear attacks are rare. Meanwhile there are millions of them (combine polar bear, black and brown bears) and other than us have no natural predators (in Asia only the tiger may mess with a brown bear if desperate enough)..... Always be armed around them though they are an amazing animal. Can't trust them nor can you underestimate them
They will either survive or feed something. Nothing goes to waste in nature and nature is always fair. They have a fair chance to survive like everything else.
I'm having a great day now considering it's like ice ice baby in my apt!!! 50 the temp in here !! Brrrrrrr!!!! 🥶 Trying to get nice + toasty !!! Love Love love love me some scary 🐻 attack's tonight!!! With hot cocoa in my cup tonight!!! Love Love love the schedule+ you to Atticus ❤ 2 hours Roooooaaaaarrrrrrr 🐻!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope it warms up for you, it's chilly here too, we're having issues with the furnace and using radiator heaters. Last night was a cold one 😂. I guess I have enough body fat to stay warm enough lol. 😅
@@metalmamasue3680 yeah last night was brutal!!! 🥶 They gave us space heaters but those can cause fires and I'm on top floor I don't run it when I go to sleep I bundle up with couple of blankets Take care + stay warm!!!
@denisem270 You too Denise, it's not quite as cold tonight and I'm glad the wind settled down. 😂 Radiator heaters are good, and I think safer than space heaters.
@@metalmamasue3680 yeah I agree 💯 My twin Dawn was worried about the space heaters since we have 15 units if someone doesn't know how to use them and starts a fire how are me + my best friend Steph gonna get out of here my twin was saying hopefully will be fixed by end of the week there saying Thank goodness
Glad Chris survived, sad about the mama bear tho You're a wonderful storyteller, you can literally see the landscapes and the struggle as you describe them....well done definitely subbing 👍
My Twink is so funny!!!😂 Trust me I'm not gonna forget when my Scary 🐻 attack's. comes on!!! I'm gonna charge my phone for the next new episode!!! LoL!!!😂😂😂 See ya tonight ❤🐻😁
Genes attack was the craziest. He also called on god and he answered as hes done a similar thing for me. His fight was longer and he did that at 69 when he was attacked. All 3 of these men are tough as 2 dollar steak.
Chris is lucky he could get that knife out in time. Why would he even choose the camera flash first? And why did they not find those cubs? Out there all alone. I think if everyone in that area already knew that there were Grizzly's in the fields, he should also have known. If you are a hunter, you first know the area you are hunting in. Number one safety rule. He did not do his homework beforehand. Makes him so very lucky to be alive.
I'm glad Chris survived but he made a huge mistake by making a commotion toward the sow bear. However I understand that we don't often make rational decisions when under intense emotional stress. Seeing a bear coming towards you can definitely make one panic. Tragic for the mother and her cubs. I can't judge him since I know I'd probably have done the same thing
So terrifying for Chris!!! Darn it!!! I will be back to finish my comment Atticus!! Low battery !!! Im so sorry 😭I'm back Atticus!!! I'm so happy Chris made it home safely to his family 💞 it I was so heartbroken 💔😭 and crying for the 🐻 family Thanks for another fantastic episode and storytelling Atticus!!! You rock!!! ❤️
What an incredible Story and an even more Lucky and unbelievable Escape from such an Encounter. Chris was Definitely a Very fortunate, Lucky and a Extremely ahh Courageous Guy, Who must've had the Lord on His Shoulders when that Sow Grizzly Hit Him at a Full Run? And then He had the quick thinking and Sense's that He was Able too First fully thrust & plunge His Hunting Knife 🗡️🔪 in Fully too the Hilt. Not just Once. But Three Full time's, in a matter of a few Scant Moment's when She Charged Him. For Chris too do Such miraculous thing's? Was really n Truely Remarkable, and extremely Brave as well. Thank You for Sharing 🙂
Considering his age at the time of the attack, Gene Moe is still the GOAT. But this attack pales in comparison to Evan's attack, who fought off his Grizzly initially with a mountain bike.
I’m just curious. If somebody kills the bear and survives the bear attack, are they able to claim the bear and take it hide? I had a cousin in law who is eaten by bear. Her name was Donna Munson she was married to my cousin Jack.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think the game commission takes possession of any bear killed in self defense. I know of your cousin's wife's story, it's sad she didn't understand that hungry bears are loyal to no one, and still unpredictable wild animals. May she and all our lost loved ones RlP. ❤
This one was both a happy ending and a sad one. I'm glad Chris made it out alive and was able to get out of there, but I just feel so sorry for the bear family. With the mother bear now dead, I worry about the two cubs. I don't think it's too different from humans. One minute your out enjoying your outing and the next minute you are orphans. Sad. It's nobody's falt, bear or Chris. Thank you 💛 Scary Bear Attacks 🐻.
This is the exception to the rule... 'Don't bring a knife to a bear fight'.. :p. IF that is all Ihad I would use it just same as Chris did.. I know over history man has killed bruins a time or two with a knife, though they usually died as well... I just cannot get over why so many avid hunters, especially those living up in the area, refuse to protect themselves PROPERLY... The only way you are going to be able to do that is with a sidearm or rifle.. Some of these instances I want to laugh about (even though they are not funny) because the 'predator becomes the pray'... Animals are on guard almost 24/7, especially predators.. Humans seem to think we can go out looking for signs / glassing for animals in their home and since it isn't hunting season, nothing bad will happen...
I just have to believe that he was left-handed because if he was right-handed he would not have been able to plunge the knife into her neck three times after she broke his ulna and radius and severed a nerve controlling his hand on the right side and if that is true he's a very blessed man first of all because you left handed secondly because he was able to fight off a bear with a hunting knife
Hey im from Grande Prairie i remeber this on the news. Thàt area is bad and wild dense forest its like two hour to banff i had a a chilhood friend who was killed by a black black when she was 10 and her dad lost his leg trying to save her. It happened only half an hour from this attack could you tell me how to submit their story. I know it would mean alot to her mom to share it and may even save another child as it could have been prevented My husband and i are big fans since i think your 6 or 7 episode. I just told him you have a video up and its from Grande Prairie and he like wait wait I'll go make lol! You'd think he was 8 and Christmas morning! I alrwady watched it but ive all of them more than once. Ohp hes he's here. Id put a bunch of hearts and smiles budont how to on this phone lol😘😘😘😘 i just found it
I haven't heard anyone talking about Alberta for years until watching this channel. My dad's family had a bunch of friends around Fort Macleod who'd visit back and forth. As the older folks passed on both groups grew apart and lost contact. A couple were truckers so they always had stories. Most were farmers and liked guns but as I recall they were more concerned about rattlesnakes. Beautiful scenery with the mountains as a backdrop.
I was wrong I was thinking Jasper and once you get to Grand Cashe there is roads you can take you'd need a map that give you rg rd & twsp rds and their good now as the gas companies got them done toa get the rigs in and out but it still can take 2 and half
Addicus, in your outro you say, “Be careful out there, especially in Bear Country!” Reminds me of my time as a cop with El Paso PD. In my patrol district in NE El Paso, there were many topless bars, right outside the boundaries of Fort Bliss. The lonely, horny young GIs, awash in beer, fueled by hormones, were frequently involved in bar fights, desperately seeking attention from the nearly-naked girls, pole-dancers each and every one. So, I would caution our gentle readers to “be careful out there, especially in…Bare Country!”
First thing he did wrong, imo, was to take off his mask and start hollering out loud. Imo, he essentially said ‘I’m a human being and near you and your babies what ya going to do about it’? Which is pretty much a challenge to us Mama bears! The rest is history!
I think it varies depending on the situation and the bear. What works in one situation doesn't always in another. I'm glad Chris made it but sad for the bear.
if we could communicate we wouldnt have these problems they should take the global warming and dender studies money and work on an animal communication device lol@@metalmamasue3680
Good to know he survive, but the grizzly bear, and her Cubs didn't sad. Bear don't hv the capability to understand like human. They saw him as a threat in there territory; even toward her cubs. After this encounter he still wants to go back; dont understand why some people wouldn't learned. They go into bear territory, and in some incidence get injured or killer, and cause these bear to be put down.
I'm going to make sure from now on I have enough battery Atticus cause I missed a question my twin sis Dawn said she's gonna remind me before my favorite sba comes off!!! I feel it's gonna be hard for me to pick one episode with the hunting knife when I loved all 3 of them!!! Chris was lucky he got away from the angry sow what Chris did wrong was he was wearing a mask
Certainly shouldn't challenge or threaten a wild animal or run , triggering the predator/prey dynamic. Just be uninteresting and passively leave the area is what I would do. .
God gave him great skill with his knife at that moment. Does Canadian law prohibit carrying a sidearm even when hunting in bear country? I doubt he could have done any better with a large caliber handgun than he did with a knife that day. Someone was truly watching out for him.
I wonder what kind of mask he was wearing & did it make him look non human. I ask because I heard a momma bear will usually run from an unknown animal. She dosen't know if she will win.
Does anyone think that the population of grizzlies has recovered enough that there may be an overpopulation now? I mean the numbers are very high and you would never catch me anywhere near bear country but I just hope there aren't any bears in Ohio.
Yes. Add wolves and coyotes to the over-population list. We've been increasing in cougar sighting and contacts the past 25 years. A couple towns south of us along the Missouri River had cougars come into residential areas and didn't seem eager to leave so they were shot. Trail cameras and household security cameras are really waking people up to what's going on around their homes or farms. Until last week I thought the nearest deer from my house was 1 mile. Then my wife showed me camera footage of the deer parade walking past our front door and one deer in a next door neighbor's yard. They seem to go by around 0500 to 0530 hrs just before the area wakes up. My only concern is coyotes and cougars being drawn into the neighborhood.
Black bears in Ohio were considered extirpated in the mid 1800's, from habitat loss & unregulated hunting, but are making a come back, particularly in the wooded areas of the east and southeast. They disperse from & wander into Ohio from PA, WV and KY. Sightings are increasing every year. There's not many places, if any in the lower 48 & Alaska that are 100% free from black bears. They don't look at maps, and when a neighboring state has a large population, often young males will wander into areas with less black bears to establish their own territories. They also wander far and wide in search of food. I wouldn't assume any suitably wooded area with resources they need, is black bear free. No matter what others might say. You can always look it up with the Dept of Natural resources or your state game commission for more information. Black bears can be anywhere their nose leads them. It pays to be prepared in black bear country. That said, there's no reason to freak out and live in fear. They've been sighted for years now in Ohio. I would've said they were there before I looked it up just because I know neighboring states have them, why wouldn't they be there ? I've lived most of my 60 years alongside wooded areas and prime black bear country in PA. I'm alert and carry when I leave the house, but I don't waste any time worrying about what could happen. Every time we get into a car, could be our last time. More ppl are killed by dogs, horses and cows than any wild animals. When your time is up, it's up. I want to live my life living, not worrying when my last day will be. I prefer rural areas any day over a city. It's peaceful, beautiful and for the most part animals make better neighbors than people do. Animals do what they do to survive and pass on their genes, protect their young and keep the species going. It's never too late to learn how to handle tools needed to defend yourseIves. 2 legged predators concern me a lot more than 4 legged ones, tbh.
I don't understand why he didn't back away slowly. Mom's with her cubs, then they spot each other suddenly. Instead of raising his arms and making loud noises, which would put any mother bear in the defence to offense to protect her cubs. I really believe she would have allowed him to back away from her and her family.
Very sad that the sow had to die, and the Cubs probably got killed by another bear. What an unfortunate event. I'm sorry, I don't feel too much empathy for people out there killing things. Unless it's absolutely necessary for survival for them. I'm not saying I wish that Chris had been killed by the bear. I just wish he had been more careful in taking bear spray and possibly would have avoided having to kill the mother bear.
Anytime u survive a grizzly attack u r blessed...Chris and guys like Gene Moe are tough dudes but I still think it's stupid to go in bear country I don't care what types of weapons u have!!!
If you have an automatic..... Nothing in nature stands a chance. Not even tigers, bears, elephants, ect. Well unless you are Gustave the killer croc though he's more likely fake or dead long ago
How many people lack the intelligence to compute going into bear country with anything less than a boom stick is a bad idea before people learn their lesson ? A lot more it seems
Chris wasn’t “lucky” in dealing those knife wounds to the bear. He was blessed by God and guardian angels were present for everything to fall into place as it did. I don’t believe in coincidence. Coincidences start happening when we start praying
My problem is that you showed Chris with his bow while out scouting! But then you stated he only had his hunting knife as a weapon, which made the story confusing! Just saying! Still, I love your real life telling of events! 🤔😵👍
Who killed the Mama one I think he was too close I think she caught his scent. And he never should have been in Bear country he knew he was there in Bear country he just never should have been there
Why would you go hunting knowing there’s brown bears and grizzly bears in the vicinity and not take bear spray or a powerful rifle. Bear spray could have prevented the attack and she could’ve raised her cubs. Why do people do things like this? I agree with him defending himself, but he could’ve brought a gun and bear spray and maybe the bear spray would’ve prevented her death.
There have been lonely people that are lonely,children grown up and gone etc. They are obviously not using any logic when allowing bears to feed from their trees, or actually feeding them regularly! The law warns them,sends them tickets etc. and by hesitating to arrest them,make them go before a Judge because they are elderly,they don't get warned firmly,and therefore are brutally killed! Why is this allowed? I don't care how old I get,if predators come around me,or mine,that bear is going to get shot off my porch,no hesitation. I've read,and heard enough. Bears are not magnificent, they are brutal, and nothing more than a big wild dog to me. As many have said,once they lose fear of humans,they become even more bold! We have to make them fear us,whatever it takes! They aren't capable of compassion, do not ever feel sorry for them. They roam around attacking whatever they want,would the Feds investigate if humans are killed? Not in most circumstances! They are protected,doesn't look like they are endangered to me. Apparently there are too many encroaching on our land,homes,etc. They are killing machines,and they eat you alive , we're hearing about more maulings,and horrific deaths more often! I say "Eat more Bear meat!" I personally would love to shoot one that was stalking me! These attacks must be stopped! Do whatever you have to, to stop them from preying on people. Dawn from Michigan
What always gets me is why these guys who get rushed by a bear don't side step out of the Bear's way at the last moment instead of getting tackled head on?
I always feel so bad and such pain for people who go through these attacks but at the same time the more of them I hear about were the bear is also injured or killed I feel so horrible for the animal too for just doing what it's supposed to do. Human and bear interactions in the wild really need to be minimized because all this death is pointless. Nobody eats the bear that's killed and very seldomly just a bear eat the person that's killed, it's just a waste.
If the mama bear had only turned around and walked away, she and her cubs would have been safe. She chose to charge, giving Chris no option but to defend himself. Maybe Chris should not have yelled and waved his hands in the air-could this have been interpreted as a threat to the bear?
What a ridiculous comment. The bear attacked him first. Self defense is always righteous, and bear spray is nowhere close to 100% effective against a charging brown bear.
Have bear spray anytime you are in bear country. Firearms also should be a given part of your gear. And why do so many people go alone when doing this kind of stuff in dangerous territory. You all have family to think about too, so if you won’t protect yourself for yourself, do it for your family. Just imagine the suffering that you being eaten by a bear or other predator will instill in your family, your wife, your children.
I hope everyone's day is a good one! I am hoping to maintain a schedule of releasing new episodes each Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening around 6 PM. If you like this regularly scheduled episode release, show me by clicking the like button on this post. Have a great day!
Sounds great!!
❤❤you too ! And that sounds awesome
That's awesome!! Yes, Atticus! Sounds great!
Yes, please! I almost always miss your live episodes because they are on at unknown days and times. Thank you!
Whatever time works out best for most people. I will try to make it as much as I can. Or watch as soon as I can afterwards. 👍😊
Glad Chris made it home to his family. Sad for the bear family.
How many times have we heard of somebody scouting for game before hunting season alone and unarmed, running into trouble with bears? It seems to be a recurring theme.
Go with one other person and go with bear spray and firearms.
Well said
100%
Exactly!!!! She didn't do a thing wrong, nor her cubs. He did. He failed to respect nature & didn't use plain common sense. Jeez.
Gene Moe calling down the power of the almighty to help him fight the bear was my favorite out of the 3 mentioned
Yes, Gene Moe was an inspiration to peopIe everywhere. They don't come much tougher than Gene Moe 🙌
Yes these grizzlies are not in fear of humans and know they can overpower us. Chris did all he could thankful he lived! Thank you Addicus I hope your doing well this was an awesome story
Dam over watched every video this channel has. Can't get enough could watch for days

Another great job. Love listening to your channel
I’m worried about the baby bears all alone without their Mana 😢
If he'd carried bear spray both he and Mama bear might have come out of this unscathed
They will either survive or feed something. Nothing goes to waste in nature and nature is always fair. They have a fair chance to survive like everything else.
You and me both
should you rather die because of some chicks?
Poor cubs and mama bear...but I'm glad Chris made it home
I bope your having a good day to Atticus!!❤

Sheeesh only having a knife you’re gonna have to go through a rough experience to defend yourself.
Glad Chris survived, sad about the mama bear tho
You're a wonderful storyteller, you can literally see the landscapes and the struggle as you describe them....well done definitely subbing 👍
Way to go Chris!! I think bow hunters are exceptionally brave. Love these knife stories!!
You described a camera as a weapon. twice😂
My Twink is so funny!!!😂 Trust me I'm not gonna forget when my Scary 🐻 attack's.
comes on!!! I'm gonna charge my phone for the next new episode!!! LoL!!!😂😂😂 See ya tonight ❤🐻😁
I wonder if we could get an update if the cubs are ever spotted or captured.
They were saved by the wolfs...
It's a good day! 🙂 I always look forward to these videos! You do a fine job!
He got very LUCKY
If Mama has her babies ain’t nothing you can do right 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I’d say Chris was really lucky! Glad he’s ok !

I wonder if a high powered strobe flashlight would confuse and blind the bear long enough to get away?
@@fredcarani6764you need the flashlight that's so bright that it can cook eggs to blind them. That light blinds just about everything
Find the cubs after all, what happened to him, really? :)
I'm glad Chris survived but he made a huge mistake by making a commotion toward the sow bear. However I understand that we don't often make rational decisions when under intense emotional stress.

15 kms south of Grovedale is still 7 hours away from Banff NP. Not sure how you could think Banff is two hours away from where this attack happened.

get the rigs in and out but it still can take 2 and half
Welp was gonna move to Montana. Nope. So sad

Agood knife is good to have but I wouldn't rely on it for me a wheel gun like the 500 Alaskan and the knife on me to
I feel bad for the cubs.
I hate it when the bear dies but I bet Chris doesn't
wonder how a cattle prod would do
I think fine as long as the bear didnt drop it while trying to inse…. In her cubs violator
lol but what if i had it and i zapped the bear...would it just lap my head off or run away@@bradhamer8108
wonder if u lay down in a ball upon being seen would it make it worse or better
I think it varies depending on the situation and the bear. What works in one situation doesn't always in another.
I'm glad Chris made it but sad for the bear.
if we could communicate we wouldnt have these problems they should take the global warming and dender studies money and work on an animal communication device lol@@metalmamasue3680
Good to know he survive, but the grizzly bear, and her Cubs didn't sad. Bear don't hv the capability to understand like human. They saw him as a threat in there territory; even toward her cubs. After this encounter he still wants to go back; dont understand why some people wouldn't learned. They go into bear territory, and in some incidence get injured or killer, and cause these bear to be put down.
I'm going to make sure from now on I have enough battery Atticus cause I missed a question my twin sis Dawn said she's gonna remind me before my favorite sba comes off!!! I feel it's gonna be hard for me to pick one episode with the hunting knife when I loved all 3 of them!!! Chris was lucky he got away from the angry sow what Chris did wrong was he was wearing a mask
Could you carry an air horn along with bear spray?
Certainly shouldn't challenge or threaten a wild animal or run , triggering the predator/prey dynamic. Just be uninteresting and passively leave the area is what I would do.
.
God gave him great skill with his knife at that moment. Does Canadian law prohibit carrying a sidearm even when hunting in bear country? I doubt he could have done any better with a large caliber handgun than he did with a knife that day. Someone was truly watching out for him.
I wonder what kind of mask he was wearing & did it make him look non human. I ask because I heard a momma bear will usually run from an unknown animal. She dosen't know if she will win.
Does anyone think that the population of grizzlies has recovered enough that there may be an overpopulation now? I mean the numbers are very high and you would never catch me anywhere near bear country but I just hope there aren't any bears in Ohio.
Yes. Add wolves and coyotes to the over-population list. We've been increasing in cougar sighting and contacts the past 25 years. A couple towns south of us along the Missouri River had cougars come into residential areas and didn't seem eager to leave so they were shot. Trail cameras and household security cameras are really waking people up to what's going on around their homes or farms.
Until last week I thought the nearest deer from my house was 1 mile. Then my wife showed me camera footage of the deer parade walking past our front door and one deer in a next door neighbor's yard. They seem to go by around 0500 to 0530 hrs just before the area wakes up. My only concern is coyotes and cougars being drawn into the neighborhood.
Black bears in Ohio were considered extirpated in the mid 1800's, from habitat loss & unregulated hunting, but are making a come back, particularly in the wooded areas of the east and southeast. They disperse from & wander into Ohio from PA, WV and KY. Sightings are increasing every year.
There's not many places, if any in the lower 48 & Alaska that are 100% free from black bears. They don't look at maps, and when a neighboring state has a large population, often young males will wander into areas with less black bears to establish their own territories. They also wander far and wide in search of food. I wouldn't assume any suitably wooded area with resources they need, is black bear free. No matter what others might say.
You can always look it up with the Dept of Natural resources or your state game commission for more information. Black bears can be anywhere their nose leads them. It pays to be prepared in black bear country.
That said, there's no reason to freak out and live in fear. They've been sighted for years now in Ohio. I would've said they were there before I looked it up just because I know neighboring states have them, why wouldn't they be there ?
I've lived most of my 60 years alongside wooded areas and prime black bear country in PA. I'm alert and carry when I leave the house, but I don't waste any time worrying about what could happen. Every time we get into a car, could be our last time. More ppl are killed by dogs, horses and cows than any wild animals. When your time is up, it's up. I want to live my life living, not worrying when my last day will be.
I prefer rural areas any day over a city. It's peaceful, beautiful and for the most part animals make better neighbors than people do. Animals do what they do to survive and pass on their genes, protect their young and keep the species going.
It's never too late to learn how to handle tools needed to defend yourseIves. 2 legged predators concern me a lot more than 4 legged ones, tbh.
I don't understand why he didn't back away slowly. Mom's with her cubs, then they spot each other suddenly. Instead of raising his arms and making loud noises, which would put any mother bear in the defence to offense to protect her cubs. I really believe she would have allowed him to back away from her and her family.

Very sad that the sow had to die, and the Cubs probably got killed by another bear. What an unfortunate event. I'm sorry, I don't feel too much empathy for people out there killing things. Unless it's absolutely necessary for survival for them. I'm not saying I wish that Chris had been killed by the bear. I just wish he had been more careful in taking bear spray and possibly would have avoided having to kill the mother bear.
Anytime u survive a grizzly attack u r blessed...Chris and guys like Gene Moe are tough dudes but I still think it's stupid to go in bear country I don't care what types of weapons u have!!!
If you have an automatic..... Nothing in nature stands a chance. Not even tigers, bears, elephants, ect. Well unless you are Gustave the killer croc though he's more likely fake or dead long ago
How many people lack the intelligence to compute going into bear country with anything less than a boom stick is a bad idea before people learn their lesson ? A lot more it seems
❤😊
Chris wasn’t “lucky” in dealing those knife wounds to the bear. He was blessed by God and guardian angels were present for everything to fall into place as it did. I don’t believe in coincidence. Coincidences start happening when we start praying
I can't think of a better explanation. Amazing experience! Adventure Bravely!
He should have checked with others to see about bear movement in the areas. He should have also need making noise to let them know he was in the area
You have to be completely quiet when scouting
Canadians are not allowed to own pistols, so his defense options were limited, bear spray or a big knife.
😊
People take more and more hunting grounds from them so there's more human contact people are the only ones to blame
My problem is that you showed Chris with his bow while out scouting! But then you stated he only had his hunting knife as a weapon, which made the story confusing! Just saying! Still, I love your real life telling of events! 🤔😵👍
None of the video clips or pictures are accurate to the actual situation and person. They are stock clips and pics.
Who killed the Mama one I think he was too close I think she caught his scent. And he never should have been in Bear country he knew he was there in Bear country he just never should have been there
I always want the bears to win. It’s their home, not ours.
Why would you go hunting knowing there’s brown bears and grizzly bears in the vicinity and not take bear spray or a powerful rifle. Bear spray could have prevented the attack and she could’ve raised her cubs. Why do people do things like this? I agree with him defending himself, but he could’ve brought a gun and bear spray and maybe the bear spray would’ve prevented her death.
I hate wen momma bears get killd, just protect ng her FUR BABIES, SAD 😢
There have been lonely people that are lonely,children grown up and gone etc. They are obviously not using any logic when allowing bears to feed from their trees, or actually feeding them regularly! The law warns them,sends them tickets etc. and by hesitating to arrest them,make them go before a Judge because they are elderly,they don't get warned firmly,and therefore are brutally killed! Why is this allowed? I don't care how old I get,if predators come around me,or mine,that bear is going to get shot off my porch,no hesitation. I've read,and heard enough. Bears are not magnificent, they are brutal, and nothing more than a big wild dog to me. As many have said,once they lose fear of humans,they become even more bold! We have to make them fear us,whatever it takes! They aren't capable of compassion, do not ever feel sorry for them. They roam around attacking whatever they want,would the Feds investigate if humans are killed? Not in most circumstances! They are protected,doesn't look like they are endangered to me. Apparently there are too many encroaching on our land,homes,etc. They are killing machines,and they eat you alive , we're hearing about more maulings,and horrific deaths more often! I say "Eat more Bear meat!" I personally would love to shoot one that was stalking me! These attacks must be stopped! Do whatever you have to, to stop them from preying on people. Dawn from Michigan
Bear country, Bear spray or firearm. It's not rocket science.
What always gets me is why these guys who get rushed by a bear don't side step out of the Bear's way at the last moment instead of getting tackled head on?
I've personally performed that maneuver .... it's called the Texas Two Step 🚶♀️ you should've seen us it was quite a spectacle 😂
I always feel so bad and such pain for people who go through these attacks but at the same time the more of them I hear about were the bear is also injured or killed I feel so horrible for the animal too for just doing what it's supposed to do. Human and bear interactions in the wild really need to be minimized because all this death is pointless. Nobody eats the bear that's killed and very seldomly just a bear eat the person that's killed, it's just a waste.
If the mama bear had only turned around and walked away, she and her cubs would have been safe. She chose to charge, giving Chris no option but to defend himself. Maybe Chris should not have yelled and waved his hands in the air-could this have been interpreted as a threat to the bear?
Caucasians never learn. Stay out of the woods, stay out of the woods!!!!!!
SAD for the poor Bears,.....people need to be fined & jailed for killing bears when not having & using bear spray.
What a ridiculous comment. The bear attacked him first. Self defense is always righteous, and bear spray is nowhere close to 100% effective against a charging brown bear.
No weapons or bearspay in bear country???
Have bear spray anytime you are in bear country. Firearms also should be a given part of your gear. And why do so many people go alone when doing this kind of stuff in dangerous territory. You all have family to think about too, so if you won’t protect yourself for yourself, do it for your family. Just imagine the suffering that you being eaten by a bear or other predator will instill in your family, your wife, your children.
