Steven Rinella Gets False-Charged By A Grizzly Bear in British Columbia on MeatEater 

With the hunters between him and the bear!

Good point. Very gutsy.

r/praisethecameraman

Cameras have this new ability called zoom.

@@MrJoshfromcali not in British Columbia

Cool. The question is, then: how many rounds did it take you to down her? :-)

@@CogentConsult Probably only two or three shots.

CHAM+ THIS LINE IS OLD LIKE YOU

I bet you smelled her now!

How many drinks did she serve you?

They saved it by not killing it even though they were in clear danger

I said they "spared" the bears life, not "saved". They had 2 high powered rifles pointed at her and their lives were in grave danger, yet they refrained from shooting her. Thus "sparing" her life.

+Mr1987Joe hahahahaa

They were in no danger, during 4-5 seconds, they would shoot it like 10 times, and if it would success to approach, it could jump only on one of them, the another one would have clear shots from like 3 meters, right in the head, it would be dead in second. The guys are experienced, so the one who would be attacked, would lie on the ground, and cover his head and neck... bear cannot kill you in 2 seconds, when you are lying on the ground, and covering your neck. On the internet, there is video about leopard, that jumped on 2 guys, they hit him several times, but it was fast, like in 3 seconds, it was on them, but as long, as it jumped at the one, it stoped to move, going to bite him in the neck, but other guy has of course clear shot... he just aim at the head, and leopard was dead. Though much deadlier, and faster killer, hurted the guy, but nothing close to dead... the bear would have no chance to kill two experienced guys with rifles. On internet, there is a footage of "bear man" killed by bear, only audio tape, it took the large bear to kill him more than minute. During that time, you would kill the bear even with glock.

C.R. Whitlock *WARNING: OBJECTS MAY BE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR ON CAMERA! I know it looked like she was farther away but she was at top speed, approx 25mph or 35fps. She'd have been on them closer to about 1.5 seconds in my opinion. I think the tracker was firing a warning shot and counting on giggles to make the kill shot. Look that shit up. Bears are FAST and she wasn't any farther than 20 or 30 yards MAX! In a parallel universe that mom got shot but not before killing these two and watching her babies feed on their bodies while she withered out of existence. In another parallel universe society is very utilitarian and not PC. They killed the charging mother and her cubs. Mom for the meat and because she threatened their lives. And the cubs because the meat again, utilitarians remember. And we all know, orphan bears grow up to be those ass holes bears that are always in the trash, even if you lock the fucking cans!

Hahaha

Oh, I don't know, you're bound to run into a Karen sooner or later.

A buddy o' mine

@@mateopavolini You should learn Jiu Jitsu... and probably smoke some pot.

🤣🤣quality comment

He's probably right if he considers even half the people he interviews friends.

You still watch his show lol

That’s what I thought he went

That’s what I would’ve been thinking. She’d smell the scent running down my leg. Lmao

lmao that makes it so much funnier how confident he said it "smell us now, lady because i've just *shat everywhere* "

Lucky his wife works in an apparel company.

exactly what I thought!

Tye Seeley anyone who shoots grizzly bears is a coward.

@JonSwift- Love to see how tough you are when there's a 2,000lb grizzly charging you.

What does coward or bravery have to do with harvesting a bear? Anyone who eats meat, fish or poultry from a package has the luxury of eating withouting risk or responsibility. Those of us that hunt and eat our food have far greater risk and responsibility to that which we eat. What personal investment do you have to buying your food? Contrary to the elitist anti-kill anything most hunter gatherers understand the responsibility it requires on a ethical & moral level. The above video is a example of exsperiance and those values.

Tye Seeley you are not killing a bear to eat it, you are killing a bear for fun and to get a buzz out of murdering a big and dangerous animal.That is the difference. The bear is an apex predator and normal circumstances would be let be, a human would hunt deer, rabbit, small game and fish and harvest berries, seeds, roots. However there is little "fun" from that compared to the thrill of murdering big animals. That is why it is pathetic.

what a stupid comment! just because your local supermarket does not offer bear does not mean people dont eat it. such sjw crap

Rinella was looking away for a sec,not even paying attention to what's in front of him

I was thinking the same thing. Rinella was very close to being on his back here. Think it would have ended very poorly had it not been for Cal.

Dude was looking away as he's being stalked, then jumped backwards into his pack. Solo, he'd die. As point man, he'd fail.

@@jrbaconcheez I dunno boss, he was looking pretty shaky there.. lol.

Irish are tougher in war

Agreed

Several = 1 lol :D

Well if the round didn't kill the bear they would have been fucked, that's why the don't shoot them! And the sound should scare them!

what? they're out there with rifles wanting to kill! mindless, no wonder we're all doomed.

No they want meat, the best meat comes of wild animals.

+Jeff Hahn she mistook the mooostache

that dosent even make any fuucking sense

I’m ded

Probably the most logical explanation if we’re being honest!

keep that camera man , he obviously trusts you

He's really trying for a full time gig at national geographic.

The cameraman kept the 2 hunters between him and the bear, lol. Smart man.

I'd be pretty confident 2 experienced grizzly hunters

I know I’d rather be behind the two blokes with the high powered rifles than anything in that moment lol

makes a mental note to add hazard pay section to his next contract and buy some rubber pants

Shark Tooth did you have a weapon just in case she fully charged just in case

Shark Tooth a weapon that would take care of it

@@desm2358 A firearm inside of a Nation Park would be a no no in Canada.

Do they false charge alot? Are they coming to kill then change he there kind?

@@bradthorne22 similar to gorillas, they often fake the charge to see if you move away, showing you submit to their dominance. Although, you never know if it is fake or not. Gorillas have more of a "make loud noise and charge to show you aren't afraid" similarly to us, doubt bears do such often.

Is that the same bear in your profile photo?

@@missilerid3r uff

I laughed way too hard at this 🤣

At what? Brian Delaney or ar15 99? Cuz ar15 99's comment was pure fire.

ar15 99 Probably his ex wife not this one

He really was scared shitless while Ryan holds his ground

Eh.. he would of shot that bear in the head in 3 secs

Mf didnt even shaked

I think a large part was that there was more than just one guy there. I think if it had just been Callaghan with a GoPro, he would have unloaded. I think there was some hesitation because they knew there was another gun at the ready, should one of them get taken down. A back-up, if you will. Either that or just happenstance that the bear veered away just as he was going for a kill shot.

You don’t shoot a bear coming at you if you want to live. Very few bear interactions are fatal, and most of the ones that are the bears are injured or dying

They did shoot, just not the sow

such a badass quote

I'd buy that shirt lol

Just bought on best $35 I ever spent

They made it. You can buy it at the meat eater website store

This would have been especially applicable to me if I had been there as I would forsure need to change my drawers.

technically its all complaining ;) lol

You got to get ahead of the complaining now a days to keep up with it all.

0.01% people complaining about people complaining

Copy that

i take it you're the 1%?

The camera man is who saved those guys. Good thing mama bear was having a bad hair day and didn't want to be on camera.

The camera man was behind the other two. The bear would've taken them on first, probably....

He would have had two rifles eventually!

In fairness, most camera men are aware of the risks involved with shooting dangerous stuff. It’s what makes them even more badass.

To suggest that this camera man doesn't have a heavy hitting sidearm in bear country is pretty silly.

I can confirm, pooping your pants is a great way to discourage encounters, animal or human

Ctfu hahahaa

Cumpar kartoffi

LOL. Ain't life a BITCH?!!!!!

Ask your local "Capo" for a gun. Problem solved.

Get her a shotgun!

@@cabal4171 Yes, there are a lot of bears and it's against the law to hunt them.

These guys have a lot of experience with this, so if they were really trying to shot the bear, they would've shot it. He just shot in front of it and intentionally missed

Why'd the woman delete her comments

I hope people realize I wasn't talking to myself. Thats how it looks when people delete their comments

What's wrong with you? Why are you talking to yourself? There's no one else commenting... ;)

Yea real funny. Some woman was saying they tried to intentionally shot it

Shit makes you feel so fucking alive .

Black people aren't made for bears. That's like dropping a white guy off with a pack of lions.

I dont think any of us are made for bears

+ceejayyep, black maasai in Africa kill lions, and our white brothers kill bears. We're all really one in the same lol

ceejay1992 I'm not black...as if there's even anything wrong with being black. Also, northern Africa does have bears; descendants of the brown bear. And I'm sure you know this, seeing as you're a smart boy.

you JUMP at seeing ants???? really??

What? The mama bear is the sow. The small bear are her Cubs.

If they would've shot the sow it wouldn't have been posted on RU-vid.

Cody Peck That comment is worse than all the shit talkers

a guy with no clue what he’s talking about

@@BurnedSpace he's still supporting the team. When you first started hunting, you didn't know anything either. None of us did. And it's shit like your comment that stops people from wanting to learn, and gives hunters a bad name. Take 10 seconds out of your day to inform them. The more people we can inform, the more people we have to stand against those that want to outlaw our passion.

Hope you passed your exam, but they are great videos! 😊

@@janispayne5570 I don't even remember leaving this comment, but yes! I passed! :)

Yeah she was showing them she was tired of Berries, she wanted some human meat

@Nick F That is simply not true. The animals you mentioned spook just as easily as anything else when they catch your scent. Obviously if it has baby critters around then that's a different story.

@Nick F Then you don't know much about bears, mountain lions, etc., and hunting for sport is not a factor, that's unethical

Nick F 😂😂😂😂

Jason Mathison how many times are you going to copy and paste your bitch ass views? You’re a sad human.

@@philiproth5770 what about when a bear hunts a salmon? Is that bear not trespassing in that salmons territory? What about a mountain lion who stalks down a deer? Is it not "Trespassing"? We all share this Earth, there is no trespassing on an animals territory because it's just as much ours as it is theirs. Hunting is a natural part of life, it occurs everyday in nature, why is it only wrong for people to hunt?

Chris Bulovsky many camera guys tend to obsess over the action that they tend to forget about their own safety. I know because I've done it far too many times lol

he was trying to run but he was slipping in the pool of shit at his feet

He figured the safest place to be was behind the guys with high powered rifles

Meh the bear would have been munching on those two for awhile. No bigs.

Might be packing something on his hip, never know. But props to all 3.

Why are they so disrespectful to you? Your job is extremely necessary. People here are pretty nice to sanitation workers.

As a kid in the US I remember everyday going out to wave at the driver as he took our garbage. Still wave if I am outside when he comes by. Hard workers should be appreciated especially if you don't want to do that job!

I would hug those people

Sorry to hear that people are disrespectful towards a garbage man, or any job for that matter. Most American parents raise our kids to respect each other, and appreciate those who work hard.

damn, feel like no one messes with the garbage men in the US, that's some rude shit

Only it takes is one. Don’t let that false charge thing make you too comfortable..

Lmfao They’ll be smelling that for sure

Can I......... ASS you a few questions???

+Dev Osai you laugh... but do you know what movie he was referring to?

I laughed way to hard at this 😂😂😂😂😂

Absolutely

+aburgheim LOL

Adnan Kashogi Right??

Hahahaha right!!!!

It wasn't funny wtf are you laughing for?

@@TweekDash American's like seeing kids in violent stressful situations, look at the middle east haha. Happy 9/11 or whatever though lulw

I think he was more lax since callaghan was with him as a guide. Remember this man is a hunter by trade

Ahahaha yeah the way Rinella handle that encounter made him look like a novice. He didn’t pay attention when the bear was coming. He didn’t have his rifle ready till the last moment. I’m no hunter but I do know bears are fast and have no mercy when they attack, especially a momma bear.

Yea he clearly wasn't paying attention. Dudes shot caused her to derail it seems. Had he not been on point ol Rinellla would been in a world of hurt had bear continued on that trajectory. Guide was chambered hella fast, & fired off while he was stumbling/fumbling around. Better buy that man a chicken dinner

He didn't see where the bear was coming from, Callaghan spotted that and was ready with gun to warn off bear. Rinella would have been charged from side initially if he was on his own. Also when the bear does change at 1.59 and Callaghan fires a shot, rinella looks completely panicked and I don't think he would have got a shot off. Not that I blame him I would be the same, but maybe that's a warning sign, putting yourself in this danger ain't worth it

@@frontleftfender Rinella tripped over his bag or something on the ground as he got his rifle ready and tried to get into a shooting stance. He should have been ready much earlier. if he had actually had to shoot he would have been on his ass and his shot would have been very inaccurate.

@MNI Andes I know where Kodiak Island is, and your argument is irrelevant in context to mine. Maybe next time you could tell your parents to stop inbreeding?

Shout out to a fellow PNW'er. Now that I'm in Japan, there's so many places I wish I would've went to. Make it up for me and enjoy that pristine air and fantastic forests with your wife! PNW💕

***** Video cameras have these crazy things called zoom lenses - so as shocking as it may sound - you don't have to be within 5 yards of a sow grizzly to get good video. : D

This is why we ALWAYS carry a pistol

Is it more advisable then to have a high caliber handgun instead of a bolt action rifle in this sort of circumstance?

@@michaellarson3697 I’ve watched a ranger dispatch a 1400lb male with just 2 9mm. You don’t need something ridiculously oversized. We see a lot of people carrying large pistols they’re not likely to get a single shot on target with under such pressure 😂

This is why we advise people to go in grizzly country in at least pairs or groups. It’s not advisable in these areas for anyone to go alone!

@@topherd1011 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah sure bud. Two 9 mm on a bear that size and not even on record? Lol and Elvis lives.🙄

That was quite a journey. Kudos.

I agree! He's a badass! I will say tho, he wasn't trying to shoot AT the bear. He was shooting in front of it, hoping it would scare her as she began charging. So much respect for that too. He's got balls the size of the London eye to be so patient😱

When they first spotted them they were far away enough to avoid them completely, which is what they should have done, but they didn't and got closer. It was illegal to shoot a sow with cubs, so no, they are not heroes, they are pricks for creating the situation because they wanted some footage.

@@isailwind3471 Except they didn’t approach the bear. Watch the video once more. The bear swiftly came to them.

@@pcmld2267 They did so, when they first spotted the bears they were half mile away and went closer. Maybe you should watch the video once more.

Lol there always are....

How did they "save her life"? If they hadn't been there in her habitat in the first place, the situation wouldn't have happened. Your response is no more original than the comments you're referring to. I have no problem with hunting in general, but saying they "saved her life" is fucking retarded.

AKAthatoneguy spared her is more accurate.

AKAthatoneguy How is it "her habitat?" How can she lay any more claim to it than any other living being, including humans?

AKAthatoneguy If you take the video at face value they did pretty much everything right. Of course 10 bears might have been killed making the video, but this video looks reasonably transparent. They noticed they were in an area with a mother bear and cubs. They didn't draw her in, but when they judged she was just as likely to freak if she was surprised up close, they started talking to let her know they were there. She charges, they made a lot of noise. Nobody was killed or injured. Bears don't always turn at the noise alone. But at that distance they would not have been in the right to shoot the bear unless they had a license, which presumably they did not with small bears in the picture it would be wrong anyway. Crossing 10 yards is more legal shooting, if it is legal to shoot them at all where they were. A stopping shot is very specific on a large animal, you need to hit a fairly small moving target. Which is why pros tend to wait until the animal is almost on them. So no, they didn't save her life from a burning building, but I don't seem much wrong with what they did depending on local laws.

I didn't say they did anything wrong, either. I just said it's ridiculous to say they saved the bears life when the situation was of their own creation and they were in its habitat to begin with.

His ass was locked and loaded. Hell probably got a shot off himself.

He's just seen it all before, he's a guide there, that's why he's there. The other guy hunts all over the world, this isn't his specialty

Holy smokes, brother! 5 shots with a 30.30 aimed at the head of a charging big brown bear and you actually downed that brute? You must’ve hit it in the spine on one of those shots. That’s damn incredible shooting, if you ask me. I worked for the NRA for 10 years, and talked with a lot of outfitters during that time, and I’ve heard a LOT of incredible hunting stories, but that one sits right up there with the best of them. Glad to hear you survived that ordeal.

Incredible

Neither if them arw guides. This a clip from a hunting show and those two guys are buddies

@@CuJo1018 Callaghan was a registered BC Guide.

Me too man! I'd be like ok now you guys cover me while I go change my pants and possibly cry for a few minutes.

Good.

Yeah. Anti-hunters are liberal snowflakes who sit in restaurants eating steak and not understanding how that meat got onto their plate. Anti-hunters are hypocritical morons.

@@CogentConsult who the fuck eats Grizzly? Fucking tard.
