I am armed with a 44Magnum. Stop telling me I should carry a firearm. I do. I am an experienced Bear Safari Guide and if you guide long enough, you run into bears like this one which approached us. We did not approach this bear as is clearly seen. The best thing you can do is stand your ground, have your bearspray ready and make yourself big and loud when necessary. In a decade working around THESE bears, on THIS river I have never needed to deploy my firearm. ADVENTURE RESPONSIBLY ⚠️ Edit: Link to another video where I scare off a bear. Understanding Stand Your Ground could save your life. m.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/maSLpYiZp5hmyJs.html

@CalebJacquesРік тому
@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.

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.

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.

When the bear follows the salmon but gets too close to the people , it stops.

@Talishar11 місяців тому
@@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.

Knowing the demeanor of the bears is a huge advantage. Also knowing that the bears have an excellent good source and are well fed makes a negative encounter less likely. Additionally, the bear is familiar with humans so doesn't freak out and want to challenge them as competition for its food-source. The bear appears very healthy, acts normal, so no reason for it to be aggressive. It was windy, so bear spray wouldn't be as effective, if at all, unless close up. If something unpredictable happened, (tourist does something stupid) the 44 magnum may require discharhing but is extremely unsafe to do so in the midst of a group of tourists. Never modify the bear's behavior by feeding it. The bear then associates food with humans.

is that what he was doing? I saw red things in the water which I thought was from them fishing or maybe that's what brought the bears attention to come over to them in the first place? if that's the case, it's kinda messed up to have him lure the Bear to them only to say go away..lol I agree n like your points you made, very true n important to remember.. always gotta take the elements into consideration!

Got news for you, if he really wants you guys, YOU AIN'T KEEPING ANYBODY SAFE, he'll just be 100% more pissed off when he starts ripping limbs off and eating you. If he makes his mind up, he'll be spraying you with bear spray munching on the arm he just severed. Luck has a funny way of running out when you least expect it.

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.
Crazy to be in this position for so many different reasons & not just being in danger either

Bears are only afraid of other bears. They are top of the food chain, outcompeting both wolves and mountain lions. The only reason they would be afraid of humans is if they have been bear-sprayed before, in which case the will detect the scent of humans and keep their distance, usually. But like 99% of bears have not encountered bear spray and most aggressive human/bear encounters result in the shooting of bear, rather than in the spraying of the bear. Which is dumb because shooting a bear is less effective at stopping an attack than macing it, because a bear will take multiple shots and still take minutes to bleed out, whilst being thoroughly pissed off in the mean time. Whereas spray means its not fighting for its life, it just hates it and leaves, due to their sensitive noses.
