Epic encounter with a huge grizzly In Kananaskis 

Thanks Don, definitely Kananaskis is a beautiful wilderness area, I love it there as well.

Thanks

The female was completely stressed and these jack@sses are following, stalking her. It would have been beautiful if it charged the car and attacked them.

This guy is ignorant about bears. A bear snapping it's jaws is not good. Very surprised the bear didn't attack the car. That bear is very capable of opening car doors &/or smashing windows.. It's sad that the guy knew that the bear was stressed by them following her but kept doing it. We need to learn to Respect animals in THEIR habitat.

She sure is, Grizzlies are an impressive animal.

She’s it hunting, probably got cubs hidden back home

Yes

Thanks Jeffrey, glad you enjoyed.

Thanks Brian, BC and Western Alberta are fantastic places to visit and explore. Go ahead and ask me some questions and I will try to help you out.

Kannanaskis is not b c its alberta...

Thanks Kathy. We're glad you enjoyed the video. My brother and I just returned from a long vacation.

Thanks, it's always a pleasure to watch a grizzly

Thanks Carl, Kananaskis is prime Grizzly country and when one spots a Grizzly along the Highway it's a good idea to stay in your car at a safe distance. Take care.

Thanks, glad you liked the video. Riding it, tempting as it may be, I have it on good authority that bears don't take kindly when you get on their back, Lol. Take care.

Thanks kelvinkloud. It would be nice to see grizzlies restored to some of their former ranges. In Canada, I would like to see grizzlies back in the Cascades. Wolves and grizzlies are indicator species that show an intact functioning ecosystem. Have a good one.

@@bohrerbros7555 they are amazing animals.... I realize they can be dangerous & have to kept away from suburbs & ranchers should have some latitude to protect herds.... yet they shouldnt have been completely eradicated in the lower 48 south of wy or coastally in oregon, n calif.... in the most remote regions of protected areas of 3-4 other states they should be able to share the eco system. there is a reason they were once there not that long ago.

Thanks. I agree, Grizzlies are amazing.

Thanks Sarah, take care

Thanks, it is a beautiful area and it is prime grizzly country, my type of place.

Thanks, glad you liked the video.

Thanks Carol, Kananaskis is a special place

I also encountered a grizzly years ago on both Opal hills and Bald hills in Jasper. The trails off the southern end of the Smith Dorrien road have a lot of grizzlies, the trails around the Kananaskis lake vicinity have grizzlies, and the trails along Hwy 40 towards Highwood pass have grizzlies as well. Plus other areas. However, they will post warnings at the trail heads if any grizzlies have been noticed in the area. Just stay vigilant, carry bear spray and know what to do if you encounter a grizzly. That said actual bear attacks are rare. I've encountered a grizzly(ies) about a dozen times while on the trail, I've been bluff charged and approached, but so far never attacked. Keep in mind, that attacks are extremely rare, just stay vigilant. Have a safe trip, take care.

Thanks, I love the Rockies too.

Sorry man. Didn't realize that was you. I think I rode you into a mailbox once. Laughed my ass off too. Feel kind of bad now.

Thanks, there is a lot of sedimentary rock that contains some good fossils. Reminds us of the past, a world much changed over time. Take care Tom.

No, we're not retired. Boy, I wish I was, lol. My brother and I take long vacations, this year we took 6 weeks off. But I hope I can retire in about 5 years. Take care.

Prolly just not workin cuz except the pipeline there really isn't work 4 everyone that wants n needs especially with all the fresh arrival of immigrants!

This bear did not threaten us, but one has to show respect and keep your distance. Thanks

When I do mike work it doesn't feel natural to me so I sound monotone, something I have to work on. Hope you enjoyed your little nappy time, I for one enjoyed the wildlife reels the teacher put on because I LOVE nature.

@@bohrerbros7555 lol.

SM Smoof - If you're not able to operate the complexity of your device, there's a control that allows volume control, eg: [0 < volume > 9] You refused to use the control, and watch that beautiful diverse scenery...why? How old are you? Your sound is from a truly spoiled generation. Everything handed to you, and you are the first to want better. If you want better...then make it - If not...stfu

@@justplainbrad7713 lol, GFY

SM Smoof looks like you mainly communicate with TLA

Thanks

I always carry bear spray in bear country and I hear it can be quite effective if used properly. In Canada sidearms are regulated, so it's hard to have a sidearm in Canada. I don't hunt so I don't have a rifle. I hope I never have to test my theory on Bear spray being effective, Lol.

Yes, I always carry bear spray in bear country, especially when I'm hiking or backpacking. I didn't see your comment in notifications for some reason. Have a good one Nancy.

Cool vid

@@jhonmichal974 Thanks, Jhon Michal.

I see grizzly bears alot here in alaska

Thank you so much Lisa, and yes, we almost always carry Bear spray with us when in Bear territory. Best wishes to you as well.

@@bohrerbros7555 Hi there. Thank you for replying back to me, how cool. I comment here and from time to time and I have to say, you are the very first one that has replied back to one of my posts. Thanks again and please, wear that bear spray on you're waist. Warmest regards.

Thanks

Hello, we first encountered the grizzly a few KM north of Highwood Pass alongside HWY 40, but it eventually ended up at Highwood Pass.

BOHRERBROS ,I suspected as much... We watched 6 Grizzly once at the pass... definitely a corridor for activity!.. All the best!

Thanks for watching.

Unfortunately for the bear, the warden didn't leave it alone. The warden hazed it away from the highway with a bean bag gun and cracker shells. Who would of thought that the Park didn't want grizzlies walking in peace beside the highway. You should contact the Kananaskis Park service and give them a piece of your mind.

@@bohrerbros7555 That is too bad the warden did that. The only excuse I can think of is that the warden feared some idiot would get out of their car and try to pet or feed the bear.

@@Greg-fs8np Ever here of the term "Bear Jam", happens every time a bear is seen beside the highway inside a Park. The warden is trying to prevent bear jams. It is human nature to look at things they find interesting, so you are criticizing basic human nature. I also think if you found yourself in a Park and saw a Grizzly you would stop and observe the Bear even if you claim otherwise.

Lots of cool stuff, hard to keep track, lol.

In the wild sometimes an animal has to travel a long way from food source to another food source.

the bear was waiting for these fellas to get brave and get out of jeep, then it was Fiesta la Human dinner bell.

No there’s genetic diversity in grizzlies, black bears, etc. Their coat colour can range from light brown, grey to black, and so on. Take care

No reason a for an apostrophe 's on the word color. Otherwise it is color is , color has. Yet you can spell hybrid, WTF?

Better bring your protest sign and start shouting and screaming at all the people who pulled over and followed along side. Oh my God, l still get nightmares when I recall the warden showing up with a bean bag gun and bear banger hazing the bear away from the highway, the horror, the horror. I bet you would be the first to pullover if you spot a grizzly. Don’t judge unless you know the context of the situation and what’s happening off camera. Ever hear the term “Bear Jam”.

Grizzlies are brown bears.

Sure is a beautiful place, thanks.

@@bohrerbros7555 My brother is in Whitby.Canada Love from South Africa

You should know that this video was taken almost 20 years ago when we were much younger, we would not do the same today. Also, this was one of the first Grizzly bears that we encountered so we were quite excited. I realize that isn't a justification for making the bear uncomfortable and we would act differently now Take care Jenn.

This video was shot 20 plus years ago when I was younger and quite excited to see a grizzly bear. Today I only watch briefly from a distance. No excuse but times have changed over the years, when I was younger it was quite common to see bear jams (large crowds stopping along the road) when a bear was spotted. People use to get out of their vehicles and take pictures. Yes, times have changed and sadly I'm no longer as excited when I spot a grizzly, lol.

For me, it is hard to do mic work. Hard to sound natural using a mic after the video has already been shot. Take care.

Yes, my brother and me

Aggregate, or agitate?

Do you know what happens when a bear is spotted in a Park, a "Bear Jam" develops. Hordes of people follow the bear with their vehicles taking pictures. I expect you to show up with your protest sign and start shouting and screaming at all the people. Did you watch the whole video? The ranger showed up and later used his bean bag gun and bear banger, OH MY GOD, THE HORROR, THE HORROR. The park doesn't want grizzly bears hanging around beside the highway. I wish the world had fewer people like you, criticizing and attacking other people for no good reason!

@@bohrerbros7555 Damn boy, finally a rush of adrenaline in the beeotch slap ... I like it. Get after the folks on here dissing your art of the outdoors.

@@smsmoof8128 Thanks, I'm just telling it like it is, the plain and simple facts of how it is.
