People think black bears are harmless but this looks like classic predatory black bear behavior.

It's not what "people think", it's what literally every bear specialist and professionals from national parks dealing with bears say. Black bears are mostly skittish and they normally don't hunt humans. This is a curious young bear who could mean trouble but it doesn't justify the fear mongering that happens around bears. Regular people actually often believe they're man eaters and will attack at every meeting. People actually think bears love the smell of blood and other nonsense.

I had an encounter like this once. I became extremely loud and yelled and took a super aggressive stance and it turned away. My response probably would not have worked on a mature bear, a mother with cubs, or a male in season. But you can see this was a young bear trying to build up his courage to attack, getting more aggressive each time, so the soft and timid response actually invited the attack. But thank God the bear spray was effective.

@BPRescue

Жыл бұрын

In this situation you do exactly as you said, be aggressive, hold your ground, yell, etc. Black bears rarely attack, even with the situations you mention regarding cubs or mating. That does not mean get close to a black bear with cubs, but just that even then, black bears are typically timid and will almost always retreat. This particular situation is of the most dangerous you can have with a black bear and when most of the attacks and deaths occur. This was a "teenage" boar, who just like our teenagers tend to get themselves in trouble or push the envelope. That, or a food conditioned, and/or habituated, or finally a bear in predatory mode means you need to stop him from following you. Walking backwards is dangerous if he trips, the bear is likely going to attack and who knows if he hangs onto the bear spray. Either way, when a black bear is following you, they are trying to determine what action to take, or looking for the right moment to attack. So, you need to stop, start yelling, even throwing things at the bear to change their mind.

You handled all of that really well. I use to work for Yellowstone National Park and everyone has their own way to handle this type of situation. Each bear is completely different, it has its own personality just as we do, but this little guy was definitely being a bit to curious and testing you out way to much, and I would have given him/her a small shot of bear spray to test him out before he got to aggressive just like you did, and it worked beautifully. As you did in this situation, I tend to also be more on the quiet side to keep the bear more calm only in a situation with a bear like this, talking quietly, walking slowly, and eventually using a small amount of Bear Spray.

One important thing to know and people forget about is to make sure you absolutely read and understand how to make the "SPRAYER" on the can work.

This is a huge reason why bear spray is so important! Not only does it keep us humans safe, it saves the lives of bears. Once they have had the unpleasant experience of pepper spray, they will be more likely to avoid humans from then on, keeping other people safe while also preventing an encounter that would ultimately result in said bears being destroyed. Bears are killed all the time due to them having no fear of people. Once a bear has lost it’s fear of humans & starts hanging out where the people are, they’ll be killed. They *might* be given another chance with relocation but that’s not always the outcome. Bear spray saves bears too!

For being smart enough to have bear spray, be vocal and face the bear, he gets a B+

Here's a tip I picked up first hand with an absolutely huge male black bear. Most older bears here in the western US anyway have been run by hounds at some point in their life. This huge boar was staring me down when I spotted him and wouldn't back off even after firing a few rounds from a rifle. He even started walking towards me and I didn't want to kill this guy so I started barking like a dog. When he heard what he thought were the hounds coming he spun around on a dime and took off running. I've tried that on a few bears afterwards and it worked every time. They think you just released the dogs and either take off running or get right up a tree. Don't know if it would work on a bear that's never been chased but it's worth a try.

I would add that you probably don't want to yell in a high-pitched, panicky voice that might sound like a rabbit or fawn deer in distress. It doesn't need to be guttural, but I recommend a lower-pitched, assertive, "command voice." I bring the volume up in stages myself. The most anxious encounter I've had with a bear was with a youngster* like the one seen in the video. I was hiking out at the end of an eight-day shift in the backcountry of Glacier National Park in 1999. (I was working a Summer job doing historical preservation work on an 8-days-on, 6-days-off schedule). I was running a bit late. The sun was below the ridge, but still plenty of light remaining when I spotted the bear ambling up the trail toward me. I got bear spray ready in one hand and the biggest rock that I figured I could wield with authority in the other--I forgot all about my camera! I started at moderate volume to get the bear's attention as it didn't seem aware of me at first. The bear barely looked at me and gave no indication that it was going to yield the trail. The steep slope of the terrain at the spot did not permit me to step off either side without putting myself at greater risk. While the bear kept approaching, it took another three "Hey, get out of here!" each louder than the previous, before it finally diverted off the trail and passed across the brushy slope maybe 30 feet below me. I swear that critter gave me a surly glare as it did so. * A young bear is often likened to a teenage punk: it's out to test limits and see what it can get away with. Unfortunately for people, it doesn't require a very big bear to F' us up really bad.

It kept running forward and climbing because the bear was nervous. He was following but nervous. A bit of clapping and stomping and yelling probably would have send him sprinting. But since the bear didn't see that he kept getting closer. But he wasn't sure if he was safe near the man. Hence he knew he could climb if the man attacked. I think this turned out fine. But he should have sprayed it sooner. And more spray. And more yelling. Once you pull the trigger, you gotta yell, and commit . You set a precedent that the bear should "never talk to another human". Or get close.

😂😂😂😂😂 imagine being the bear just wanting to play but gets sprayed and called a good bear instead 😂😂😂😂😂

In my state (NJ) bear spray is illegal. The state website explains that only one person has been killed by a bear in the state. So, if backing away slowly, waving your arms, and avoiding direct eye contact doesn’t work, at least you’ll make the front page on the Star-Ledger when you become the second. Something to think about as the bear eats your face.

The wavy hands and noises probably induced a "bluff charge ". Bears usually act out of fear and screaming at them makes them more fearful. If they feel there's no escape they will charge to scare you off.Many Park Police and rangers don't even know this as some recive no bear training. Having not been there I can't say for sure.

Better to spray the bear as early in the encounter as possible. This helps teach them to avoid people from the sight. This bear may still want to 'test' the next subject. Best bear spray to get should spray a minimum of 30ft, have at least a 7 second burst and a cone shaped spray. Spray is more effective than a gun. A bear can and will still charge you after being shot, but won't and can't if it can't see or breathe well.

Honestly the same could be said for bear spray, there’s been many instances where the bear ignored the spray and continued to maul the person. I’d prefer a gun because at least then I can keep firing until a fatal shot lands. With bear spray you just have to pray the bear immediately retreats.

@@inquisitivesoul3618 there’s definitely been instances of bear spray not working. I’d use it but would definitely prefer my 10mm loses with some hot underwood rounds. 15+1 gives me plenty of comfort.

that bear climbing tree is like dont even think about this bro

What bear spray was that? Looks effective since it took one spray to make the bear leave.
