Grizzly bear behind deadly Montana attack eludes capture 

She had FOOD in her tent! After the 1st visit by the bear, she removed her food and then went back to sleep. The smell lingered. In Montana we NEVER, EVER EAT OR HAVE FOOD BY OUR TENT. Never.

Those claws are like 5” razor blades. A tent is useless. We live in black bear country, the only way to escape a bear is to fly……they run, they swim….they can climb a tree in seconds.

*Why I won’t sleep in a tent in bear country, period.*

Food in your tent is a major no no

Dosen't everyone in Montana carry when they go out because of this?

Montana tried to politely tell Californians and alike what Montana is like. Whelp circle of life folk!

Campsites encounters usually end up badly - worst case scenario. Don't worry, he will show up again since its habituated

The photo of the bear in their camp shows that it had no fear of people and had had learned that campsites were an easy food source. Could it be that other campers had used food to attract the bear just to get a picture?

That bears knows what it did and is eluding capture and soon will try to cross the Mexican boarder

The NUMBER ONE is to be prepared, ie: a 44-magnum side arm and you'll live to tell about it

You're in the Bears house what do you expect leave that bear alone

Stay home. Camp in your backyard!

You couldn't give me all the money in the world to camp in those woods for one night. How comfortable would you be knowing it's their domain and at anytime one would and could, attack you? It's WHERE THEY LIVE.

A wild animal will always be that. If I were to die from a wild animal attack I tell my family to not have it killed.

Bears , Top dog predator,Very intelligent , Remember that were in the woods, it's their yard..so very sad for the family..

I wouldn't camp in bear country if you paid me, unless I had a 360 degree security with a few claymores and warning flares and a back up of a Smith& Wesson 500 and of course I'd never sleep alone so the person I am with and I would alternate guard duty. Gotta put that old Ft. Campbell tng into practice. Don't plan on ever ending up in a bears stomach if I can help it :)

All bears kill it’s people getting in their territory then you kill the bear for people being stupid

Feel terrible for the lady and her family as she was probably in sheer terror and shock until she passed. When I was in the Army (Infantry) we spent the vast majority of our training time in the woods conducting surveillance, performing reconnaissance and completing missions. I LOVE the great outdoors (always did, even as a kid), yet I’d NEVER live or camp in the areas of the country where I’m not the Apex predator. Being a trained warrior (military & retired Law Enforcement), I’m confident in my ability to defend myself in almost any situation, but living around bears (especially brown bears) and Mountain Lions on a day in/day out basis leaves too much to chance from my perspective. It isn’t a matter of having bear spray or a weapon as much as it is always having to be on alert for certain animals that are looking at you as mealtime.

Can't blame him for being Hungry

Lol stay out of Montana the community would appreciate it.

I love to camp, me and my oldest daughter an 7 grandkids love to go camping, but we slacked off from it , problems with weirdos at night entering our campsite, tripping over tent strings an unzipping our tent, seems like you can't even enjoy mother nature without someone screwing it up! This was at a state forestry camp ground to! That night there wasent a lot of campers there and the place was a big campground way back in the woods off main road, was scary incident for sure!

Did he say “two people in the tent were aroused by the attack”?!! 🤔

Shouldn’t I also worry about Mountain Lions and a pack of wolves too in Montana? Mountain Lions are scary you won’t hear one coming.

The fact that people go to areas where bears live & blame the bear for attacks is absolutely LUDICROUS,!!!😏😏😏😏☹️☹️☹️🙄🙄🙄🙄

I was just hiking solo in Alaska (Denali Park) & there were bear signs posted everywhere. We are on THEIR territory. Bears being bears.

I am sorry for all these victims and do not understand why people are so naive, in spite of the recommendations, now well identified of does and dont in bear country. Bears have the highest sense of smell. Do not leave food in your tent, do not camp on their territory ! They belong to nature. Do not invade their space. This drives me crazy when the bears have to be shot just because of man ! Same problem occurs in Nat'Park of East and Southern Africa with Apex predators..

Lots of people camp in grizz country with no issue. Headlines bring the fear of a worst case scenario to the forefront.

Only 40 🐻 bear attacks??Thats alot?

Run Mr Grizzly Run!!!!

They killed the "bear" .....use common sense when camping people. It will save your life.

But did they VERIFY that she had food IN the tent?

Leave the Bears alone.

Another Californian bites the dust. Interesting how we can never blame an animal for killing a person, but we can blame an inanimate object like a gun for killing a person, and even outlaw them. Also it's not like she was camping out in the backcountry, or even in a secluded public camping area, she was camping right in town, right on the main highway, I've been through Orvando many times, as well as Lincoln and they both have camping areas right in, or on the outskirts of town.

Our bears in Montana are just like the locals: we dont want you Californians coming here and changing everything and bemoaning how great California was while not even realizing you left there for a reason. Glad the bears are doing the job the locals are too nice to

I'm just coming to realize that when we hear about something after the fact we just assumed that the person had no choice, no chance, and it was unavoidable. Whether it's a shooting or a carjacking or stabbing, 9 times out of 10 there's some warning and some chance to avoid it, but the person just displays a sheer lack of common sense and survival desire. This woman dumb enough to have food in her tent,, was more concerned about looking tough and "being an expert on bears and the outdoors" and got handled in the worst way. You know the types. She should have packed up and gone to the hotel with her sister - even fellow campers told her she should leave. Now her sister will suffer feeling like she didn't do enough. It's ok to camp but when you encounter a wild animal and have an interaction - pack it up for the night and move or cut the trip short.

That poor woman killed in her tent . RIP Leah

Dr Gilbert looks like he has experience

How was the bear suppose to know not to hunt the human? They’re doing what comes natural to them. This happens all the time up here in Alaska but we all know Alaska is their land. Humans🤦🏽‍♀️

This bear is now a Man-eater, and will realize just-how-Weak, easy and defenseless Humans-are. Very sad. May she R.I.P.

Leave the bear alone

These people are invading the bears space the bears were there first that's they're home leave them alone you go in there space and may kill somebody you shouldn't kill these bears

Past time to reopen a hunting season on grizzlies. For their own good they need to fear humans.

Bears will be Bears just the way God made them

Here's my question do they give you a what not to do list when you go through the park ??????

Free the homie bear!!!! He was in his home, the woman was invading his land. Can you imagine your existence being erased because food was in your house and you ate it?

I am very afraid of these animals, always cautious and respectful.😳

The existence of bears is not worth one human life. Not one.

Let the bear alone.

I don’t think the bear should be captured or killed… she shouldn’t have been out there in it’s habitat. Wdf

Leave the fucking bears alone!

So will this bear be killed because of this ? My condolences to the families , it’s such a tragedy . It’s just I can’t help feel sorry for the wild animals too . We’ve had them ( black bears ) roaming in the city and neighborhoods where I live . These bears are hungry and their sense of smell is unbelievable , cuts,food,blood or just human scent and they can hunt you . Watch Back Country , that movie taught me to respect the wild .

We are intruding on them. Not the other way around. Too bad the bear will be "put down" just for being a bear. We know better. The bears don't.

Fair game ! Yeah these animals are not to be messed with! Mess with these bears and get your throat ripped out!!

I dont go camping bt even a layman knows bears track food scents and u are supposed to take out the trash or not leave scraps around or in ur tent,its just common sense.

How come they didn't have any mighty hunters with their track and dogs track the bear down I can't believe that they don't have that capabilities

Always have protection

Good for the bear! Maybe you guys should just get out of its way…….move.

Ya ya ya! There doesn't have to be food in your tent to get attacked. Being in the wild is not worth the risk, take a gun idiots, if they don't allow gun, ask the Park Ranger why he has one. LOL.

Did they ever find the bear?

I would NEVER be in a tent in bear country. Not even if it was only a black bear area because they have dragged people out of tents also.

All you have to do to be safe is carry a bear gun!

It is in the woods that is where they live plus people are idiotic to leave food and dirty camps. People are responsible for the bears action.

I don't think a bear should be put down if IDIOTS knowingly hike and camp in known grizzly bear areas.... Especially when bears are coming out of hibernation , they are hungry , cranky or with cubs.... What level IQ do these people need to have to JUST KNOW THIS ?? My sympathy goes out to anyone attacked by a bear but , don't hike or camp in grizzly bear habitats , PERIOD !! I am actually surprised that people are given permission to do this to start with !!

who the fck would go camping in bear country!!!!

Why would they capture the bear is their fault humans r stupid...why would u go camp in their habitat..if u had only stayed in ur house and not go in their teritory....

carry a 44

Love bears! Sad people get mauled or killed by them. They are just trying to survive.

the bear should not be hunted down. the people made their bed in bear country. the bear was there and left and they stupidly stayed there till the bear came back to harvest the woman . no normal person in their right mind would be doing what they did. they gambled and they lost.

Standing still is a threat and running for it is a treat, for the bears. Could you climb a tree? Not with a bare behind.

Apparently the bear took over after Jason Vorhee's left

I mean come on we are visiting there home. Not being responsible with food…now your hunting it, it’s just wrong

The last animal you wanna be eaten by is a bear. They dont kill you before they start eating.

Well that sucks for the bear and family. Bear will sooner or later strike again. Once they figure out a easy kill they will do it over just like they kill sheep.

RIP love 🙏❤️😪

Bears just being Bears...not with my 30-06 or my 30-30 Marlin...Make a good rug.

so if you go camping in winter and for get to pack necessary gear to stay warm and freeze to death, its winters fault? i get it... condolences to the family but she knew better. also maybe someone could figure out why there is a mass exodus of grizzly bears leaving or spreading out of yellow stone region? is it a lack of food?, increase in earthquake activity? or are they just rebuilding what we destroyed and reestablishing their natural ranging territories? they are popping up in areas that have naturally been their territory, the normal ecosystem reestablishing. sounds like mother nature is repairing herself. its up to humans to be aware of their surroundings when being in apex predator territory, if you don't take precautions to secure your well being its your fault.

Praying for her family, I don't understand the reason why anyone would camp in bear country, and grizzly bear country wow bad choice in this mans opinion.

The Bradbury Lady was willing to die for her peach tree transplant, shouldn't intervene. Should always camp with a native american.

If a bear goes into your tent is it safe to play dead and roll into a fetal position I feel like it's the only option if you have no weapon or bear spray

"bears are bears" fair point.

The bear is just doing its part to fight global warming.

Its a shame really. But people need to leave nature alone. Animal attacks have been on the rise.

Forgive me, but imho many bear attacks are due to human ignorance. Never, EVER would I pitch a tent in bear country. Duh!

Bear 1 liberals 0.

Ask Joe Rogan about bears...

Bear country or not sleep in a camper or cabin and still hve your 12'gauge close bye

THERE ARE SO VERY TOO MANY!!!!!!!!!

What ? Just go looking for A bear and kill it...?!! ANY bear will do...?!!

Don’t run? Easy for you to say

Who would tent camp in bear country?

Bears rule people dont

HEY BEAR !!! ding ding ding... lol

Time to go shopping for a new bear rug and or lifesize companion for the den.

10mm!

They always seem to find the bear right away, but not this time. Does this bear have a research collar or something that prohibits them from catching it? I would believe anything after watching 40 + years of govt agencies pulling this kind of stunt. you almost can't believe anything they put out there anymore.

I bet she was from California

Camping is dangerous enough around humans you don't know ,, guns can protect from them and bears

If one travel’s to sleep with the bears..I really don’t think it is fair to then kill the bear. because (some are idiots) didn’t believe the bear stories, let alone how to set up a camp that discourages them.

Thank you Trumpy Bear.

Yeah I'd never go camping in best territory or cougar territory, I know they're everywhere but I'm actual territory where they're known to be I would never camp there, it's not the animals faults at all and they're just doing what they're supposed to do. I knew how deadly bears are but recently saw a video of a bear destroying a wild boar that was huge and it was extremely vicious and was literally ripping hunks off this boar . Terrifying creatures.
