MD Supreme That’s the scary part, you will never hear them coming until it’s too late. They have soft pads on their paws to help them move quietly and sneak up on prey.
@@mdsupreme1776 I've had well over a hundred bear encounters. And I can assure you, when it happens, every hair on your body stands up. Once with a Griz sow standing tall not ten yards from me, sniffing and staring me down, deciding my fate. She decided to run. You never forget such things. Its as if the human brain hard wires those events deep and permanent vividly clear. Sort of a survival thing I'd think. If more people experienced the primordial awe and fear in such situations, we'd make more rational decisions about the management of such dangerous beasts. But, we've got a couple generations of Pixar crippled adults, who see animals as anthropormized cartoon characters. They are virtually incapable of understanding the harsh, brutal reality of "nature".
@@vitaminb4869 Should have been killed, rather than risking lives of human beings moving it. Period. The mentality that comes up with the asinine act of trapping and moving an animal that is of such grave threat to human beings, with all the risks moving the most lethal animal on the continent, is idiotic and despicable. If an animal shows threat or danger to human beings it should be killed on the spot. Anything less is immoral and despicable. I've spent 40 years hunting/guiding and I can tell you without hesitation, that you don't know what the fk you are talking about. Griz's will kill/ eat you without one fking second of remorse. Get a clue of how the real world of "nature" works! Animals want to do two things, eat or fk you! So, take your choice. You want a Griz eating you or fkng you? Because that's all it has to offer you!
You do know that the tried and true way to avoid grizzlies is to sew little bells on your clothes so the bears hear you coming and avoid you . You can always tell you are in grizzly country by looking at the scat. Grizzly scat has little bells in it
You do know that your little bells and pepper story is well over a century old and has been repeated ad nauseam by every single rookie thinking he's reinvented the wheel, don't you ?
Even a tiny glimpse such as this makes you realize how insanely powerful this beautiful animal is. And to me what stands out with most of these Grizzly releases. ... is how fast this very large animal can move.!! Great footage..👍
Will Stuart , You have NO idea of their strength! Living in the AK bush grizzlies were our constant neighbors. Ive seen them grab big trees & rip em out of the ground like we would pull a dandelion plant. When making our forest trails id cut a tree down but pour maple syrup around the bases of the ones I needed removing. The griz would smell the syrup & rip the stumps out for me. They got their treat & I got a stump removed that would have taken me days to remove. Same w nuisance beaver dams. Pour a gallon of syrup at the base of the dam flooding out our property & the bears would rip it apart. Got a double treat. The syrup & the beavers!! Win win for the bears!!
555Trout, Yes they are! Can hit 60 mph on the initial launch & run 45 mph after that original starting burst. I had 1 cover 200 yds in the time it took me to throw my rifle to my shoulder from carrying it level at my side 1 handed. Shot it 10 feet away! And it was running UP a 45° hill at me. Luckily they cant run very far at that speed but they CAN dogtrot for hours. Can run a moose for miles til its exausted & then take it out. I lived w & studied bears for 27 years. Learned stuff the bear experts didnt know & taught them. Lesson #1, NEVER EVER trust a bear! They are what they are & even hand reared from babyhood can turn on you for no apparent reason.
That last bear was smart enough to look all around and even underneath the cage trailer for any human. He would have killed that person instantly. And any ghost would have been scared of the also bear, believe me.
Jay ritch Not necessarily! Grizzly bears like to maul their prey to the point of helplessness and cover them with brush. Then when they feel like having a meal they go feed on them while they're still alive!
Larry Kraut , Not always. Griz like their food slightly rotted. They bury it to let it "age". Its the black bears that eat you alive normally. All depends on how hungry they are thou. If theyre starving, your correct. Tredwell was one such example. Thoes 2 bears ate him dead after ripping him in half & ate his girlfriend AMY alive. Started at her feet & ate up. She didnt stop screaming til they reached her hips. Ive heard the original tape the general public isnt allowed to. Gave me nightmares for months especially living out in the AK bush the way we did.
Black Bears have taken over the national park ( Smokey Mountains) near Gatlinburg Tennessee. I use to enjoy a ride through the park packing double with a girlfriend on my Harley Davidson, but it’s impossible now, after three close calls with the bears. They block the road both ways and go from one car to the next looking for food. People have been good enough to let us into their cars, but the bears always knock over the Harley causing expensive repairs. It’s way past time to thin that herd out and let the humans roam around and enjoy the park, like they use to.
Was thinking the same thing. I would've been that guy on top of the cage releasing him. I also would've been that guy with my head rolling down the side of the hill.
There’s another video around I Saw a couple days ago had an idiot on top of the cage lifting the door. The bear got him down and chewed on him before he killed it...they were park ranger guys but I don’t remember which state.
I saw that clip plus the cage wasn't bolted down and it came off the truck and wound up on top of the ranger along with the bear!Ranger had a 357 magnum and it took all six rounds to kill the bear!After that they came up with the rope and pulley system to release the bears from inside the truck! Stay safe people!
One of my favorite pieces of reading material is Lewis and Clark's journal in which a native American tribe in the west is describing grizzlies to them. They went ahead thinking that the tribe were just talking about the kinds of bears back in Virginia. Black bears don't prepare anyone for meeting grizzlies and they found that out rather quickly.
I hiked there about 5 years ago. I must say it was a bit nerve-wracking . Saw 7 adults and 3 cubs, all from some distance. But I backpacked up and over the highest peak there (Montana) over 40 years ago and didn't have a care in the world bottom line: attacks are extremely rare. attacks are even more rare if you follow the laws of backbacking in bear country. and attacks never occur if you are with 5 or 6 other people.
I never get used to it. Done it many times. My general MO is a big fire I tend to all night near the tent. Often if warm enough I'll choose to go with a vtarp open all around just to keep the dew off, so that I can see what's coming and know where to shoot. Being in a tent is like being a can of tuna. No way to respond till its too late. Years ago girl and I were in a vtarp, ends both open sleeping. Day before we came across a Griz, face to face, that went well. But I wake up at about dawn to my girl just SCREAMING! LIke bloody murder screaming. Scared the hell out me. I hope up gun in hand, and she rambling about a bear sniffing her face and waking her. I'm thinking she had a bad dream. Not a minute later this backpacker comes rushing into the camp wide eyed and scared to death. The dam bear my girl scared off with her scream went running down the trail right at the backpacker and he had to jump for it! Girl never got over that. Never camped again. I had a bear walk over me one time. Backpacking, no shelter sleeping. At the base of bank for wind protection. Bear comes tromping over the bank and tramples me. I'm not even sure the bear new I was there. It just kept motoring. Maybe over a hundred bear encounters in my life. So far I have all my appendages. But, I might be pushing it. :
Thank you! Whenever I talk about this subject and say that it is crazy that people hike in bear and mountain lion country and they most likely will be attacked bc they are provoking the animals. It's not crazy, it's common sense! It's like e when you surf or swim in alligator and shark infested waters, people are shocked if there is a fatal attack on a human. I don't understand people's minds!
doug chang how terrifying would that be to see that charging at you! I wonder if our brains would even let us process it and see it or just go black out of fear?!?!?
Yea, I think like many animals, their fur makes them have an apperance of being larger and slower than in reality. A soaking wet dog or cat looks like a concentration camp survivor.
Evidently, the bear hates all forms of despotism, slavery\ I'm angrier than that when I'm stressed out over a f'n job, which is why I'm currently unemployed, occupational drifter/
The power they have is unbelievable.. nobody has any idea what it's like unless u see it in person.. i never have. But seeing how fast and big they are, u have no chance at all. They are awesome animals
I recently read that it's now believed that bears intelligence is similar to higher primates. That puts them a the top of the brain tree in the animal world.
When the bear met up with another - he said - _"It was awful - they probed me - gave me shots - and dump me off in the woods."_ The other bear - _"I don't believe you - that sounds far fetched."_
That last segment is one of the scariest clips of a grizzly, displaying the awesome power and desire to battle. I had one bear encounter and tell people they are not heavy lumbering animals, they are like pitbulls on steroids, and run twice as fast.
“Hey Wally, it’s been five minutes I’m sure that bear is long gone by now..... Can you go out and pick up our two cameras? I’ll just wait here in the truck......
So smart!! RESPECT THE BEAR-ALWAYS!!! I grew up in Missoula and lived next to the Craigheads. I am so grateful for their research and work to educate the public about these AMAZING creatures, my favorite wild animal. When I lived in B.C., CA, I met an aboriginal police officer and we began a conversation about the “Spirit bear” pin I was wearing. He asked me if I had ever seen a skinned bear, to which I replied that I had not. He said that they look like humans from the neck down-and I can clearly see that in these videos showing how they move and gesture-how they THINK! Great video! Thank you!!!
@Marco Polo Not this specific video but I do know there are a lot of disappearances around wilderness areas, there could be quite a few explained by simple predation by animals, bears most likely. But that doesn't cover the whole issue by any stretch.
Who can blame that bear for being furious...trapped twice like that...we need to show much respect for obvious reasons and also just because they truly deserve that respect.
Thats what I was thinking. Imagine a bear that upset getting hold of you. The strength that boy had was impressive. Full respect to him. I don't know why people hike near bear country.
@@bari2883 Don’t let ‘em kid you, most are not hikers, but hunters. In this day and age, they’re looking to have a video of a successful bear hunt. They wanna show the world how tough they are 🤣 COWARDS 😡
@@bari2883 Because most people that hike in bear country have the sense to carry guns like .454 casull revolvers, 12 ga shotguns, and .30-06 rifles, which easily kill even the biggest of bears.
The last bear was more in inteligent than your average bear. He was looking (and determined) to get back at the individual (captor) opening his cage (jail). He thought he was on top.
Last bear was the “William Wallace” of this clan lol, he didn’t appreciate the involuntary incarceration and wanted at least some meats for his troubles, quite understandable given the circumstances
What's truly terrifying is the thought of a grizzly twice that size. And that's exactly what the coastal brown bears of Alaska are. They are freaking ginormous!
The last bear is vengeful! He was like: "Someone's gonna pay!". Then looked high and low for the human. I can't see myself hiking or camping in bear country with bears as smart and vengeful as this one.
When watching a bear release, there's always concern as to how much thought went into the release location. What the hell happens if a family is fishing nearby, and this agitated bear happens to run directly into them? That really shakes my resolve when travelling unknown areas. That bear wanted whoever trapped him, and would have done serious damage. Hopefully they have a professional strategy (where the area was checked for humans) before the bear was released...as meeting a human, in his state, means death.
I agree. If it was up to me the bear would be darted with a pretty good dose of tranquilizer, and left to wake up on his own hours later without any human interaction. Perhaps he would be thinking he just had a bad dream. LOL
You can almost feel the immense power and agility of these wild creatures. It’s amazing we still have these beasts in our world. We must take care of them.
Wyoming wildlife officials are investigating what they say was unusual behavior by a mother grizzly bear and her yearling cub after a hunting guide was killed and his client was injured last week in the wilderness.www.msn.com/en-us/news/msn/wyoming-grizzly-bear-cub-killed-by-officials-after-fatal-attack/ar-BBNtzsE
Yeah but a bear killing a human under almost any circumstance is not acceptable. We do not extend moral equivalence on to animals for obvious safety reasons.
@@wyominghorseman9172 these wildlife officials calling it an unusual behavior when a grizzly bear is being aggressive around a carcass? Really?! What kind of dope are they on?!? These "officials" are obviously displaying a mentally challenged behavior, especially after euthanizing the poor cub, essentially wiping out the entire grizzly family. And for what? For human greed and shallowness.
@@vitaminb4869 The unusual aspect of this case was the Bear wasn't on the kill. It hadn't fed on the Elk and was tracking the guide and client to the kill. I personally know the G&F officers involved. All are solid young men. The Sow was not on the Elk kill nor had she fed on the guide when they arrived on scene and she charged them on sight. The last years cub was snared and killed because they had no idea whether the Cub was also part of the attack. Also the Cub was very unlikely to survive and he had now been taught to attack humans. Grizzly do not have family's like humans. The second season cubs go their own way. They don't get together for holidays. Greed and Shallowness????? You obviously don't live in apex predator country. Bears behaving badly: Park County commissioner Lee Livingston said one guide and two hunters with his Cody-based Livingston Outfitting and their horses were charged by a bear while they were hauling a dead elk during a guided hunt. www.codyenterprise.com/news/local/article_21249810-c747-11e8-8f14-e3b0f7b94dd7.html
@@tballstaedt7807 What if you were in the mother bears shoes after humans have unnessecarily killed it´s cub? It´s like the same thing to them as a mother losing her child to a murderer and I´m pretty sure it is hard not to want to get revenge. In addition what about it´s territory and food sources being depleted by humans and taking away it´s essential means of survival? You would surely want to defend your means of survival, won´t you?
I remember many years ago seeing an amazing series of still photographs taken of a Grizzly release that went bad. The ranger who released the bear was standing on top of the container when he lifted the door. As in this video, the bear immediately turned on the container and began shaking it vigorously to get at the man. The ranger fell off the cage, landing on the ground, and would certainly have been killed but for drawing his sidearm, a .357 magnum pistol, and emptying all six rounds into the bear's chest as it stood over him. The bear was killed and the man survived with some lacerations and bruises. What makes Grizzlies so aggressive is, in part, the fact that they are truly an apex predatory animal in their natural habitat. There are many other animals that can kill an African lion in their habitat. But a Grizzly bear is unchallenged by anything in its natural world and will become enraged by anything that threatens its sovereignty.
@@colin-campbell claws for sure considering the likelihood of you getting a shot off first is slim to none and the likelihood of that shot being instantly fatal is also very slim
Grizzly bears are powerful, magnificent animals. They are also very intelligent and amazingly fast on their feet. However, they actually don't scare me at all...I live more than one thousand miles east of their territory. 😶
Just visited Yellowstone two days ago and was able to see a grizzly bear from a safe distance. If there as a thing. I was shocked how fast these bears are just roaming. Not to mention the size of a full grown grizzly bear in the wild. It instantly makes your heart rate sore. Very thankful for the park rangers who have to keep visitors safe but as well as the bear.
Last bear took two steps and traveled 40 yards! I always heard they were faster than humans but now I see for real what they meant. I am in awe. No chance in hell to run away even if your an olympic sprinter.
