Seen self sacrificing strangers save children without a second hesitation, like me. My worst fear is being eaten alive, bears like hyneas eat you while you are alive through your stomach or backend..Nightmare fuel! But i jumped between a charging black bear and a 3 yr old without my side arm, only knife in my hand because i was cooking. Picked him up like a football and ran towards my truck, where my shotgun was laying on tailgate. My son dropped him 10ft away from me & terrified precious boy. I put boy on the tailgate and shot one more time for safe measure Over muscle twitching but my son killed him instantly. That child was from different camp, Whos urbanite parents thought it was safe for him to wonder off. Thank god my son countered my reaction & had a accurate shot. I just reacted, i didnt know him but I went in momma bear protecting baby mode on a male bear during hyperphagia. Not one day goes by do i regret that decision. Now i get to know campers around me& educate them. I have a dog who's a predator deterrent and my side arm never leaves my side! So better to over prepare than put yourself in harms way!

We are encroaching on their territory, interfering with their environment, and depriving them of their natural food sources. What happened there is unfortunate, but it is also preventable. The bears have no malice, they are just doing what bears do. Mothers protect their babies and starving bears look for food. That doesn't make them evil, it just makes them wild animals. The only ones that actually have evil motives are humans. Don't get me wrong, if a bear is threatening people it needs to go down, but for you to want to exterminate all bears is not only misguided, it's moronic and I'd also say malicious.

This is typically only true if they have little to no experience with people. They’re not as timid as once would expect, and I say this as someone from BC with multiple black bear encounters. There’s a huge issue with black bears becoming accustomed to people and all that comes with us. Believe it or not, but in Canada black bears are actually responsible for around 70% of all incidents. Although their attacks are typically defensive rather than predatory. Grizzles do make up for the largest amount of fatal attacks but at the end of the day never underestimate a black bear. Due to being more skittish by nature they’re easier to spook into a defensive attack.

@mrdark9916

28 күн бұрын

​​​@@kaelinn510actually you have that backwards.. black bear attacks are actually much more likely to be predatory in nature, while Grizzly attacks are majority defensive. This is why you play dead for grizzly, and not for black bear. Because if a black bear is attacking you it is likely actively intending to eat you and playing dead will not help, while playing dead is often effective in the end for a grizzly attack. So its kind of a catch-22.

Bears are one of the creation's mysteries - they look so cute and cuddly, and wobbly and lovably dumb, yet so dangerous. At least sharks had the decency to evolve looking menacing and scary.

The man went out expecting to see a dead bear on the ground some distance away, but found nothing. No blood trail either. My point is a shotgun will work, and I’m sure a rifle as well, but probably not a hand gun unless it’s essentially a mini rifle. Lol Pepper spray is super risky.

Only 17 minutes in & I am gripped & amazed by your story. I wish though that people would do a lot more research. If traveling independently carry bear spray at the very least & keep it in your hand. I am so glad you both made it & I am sending good wishes your way.

My bust bud is from Billings Montana and over the years would take me and our friends on trips throughout Montana. He carried a Desert Eagle 50 cal handgun wherever we all went, and we all kind of poked fun at him for always lugging this hand cannon all over the place. After watching this, I think I'll call Kevin and thank him for always carrying that dang gun around with him. As a dad, that first story was absolutely terrifying. HUGE respect for the dad for continuing to put himself between the bear and his daughter.

she played dead so the bear will leave her alone.. then after the bear left, she started yelling again.. as if the bear won’t hear her.🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ glad they survived.
