Mike actually did the right thing. He didn't panic, he didn't run, he didn't flinch. He stood his ground. The bear tested him and he didn't react any differently. The bear expected aggression or fear in response but didn't get it. This was nothing more than an intimidation tactic. Black bears are rarely ever aggressive. I live in a mountainous area where we see bears multiple times every week for most of the year. They're very accustomed to humans in these areas and they're not afraid which seems like potential for aggression to some people but it isn't. This big boy didn't want to leave and made it known, mostly because there was food around, and no I don't mean the humans.
@Lightskin Legends When were you told that? Because if it's from you're childhood it was probably to keep you away from them. Not saying you should mess with them but more often than not bears will leave you alone. Polar bears are the only bears you should immediately fear and be looking for shelter. As they are the only bears that are purely carnivorous. You know lacking vegetation in their habitats. Also mother bears if you get between them and their cubs. But in a scenario like this video the chance are extremely low.
@E&C This guy... Criticizing others comments when he has so little knowledge on a topic. Also calling it advice when it when it's more of an analysis. He had no idea what he was doing.
Can't believe we have to provide society with these disclaimers 😅 On behalf of the idiots out there.... THANK YOU for the public service announcement 😆
@abCp5fn :- if scratching someone's thigh is polite to u den the bear is really polite.. he didn't bite him or eat him but he showed his dislikeness by scratching on his thigh so that's already harsh and rude of the bear
We all have our stupid moments and this was Mikes… Hopefully when you sobered up you realized just how lucky you and everyone around you was that day..
@Faithlynn GabrielI was a very friendly tap. But the bear has claws. Have a look at cats who are considered "pets". They scratch their owners all over even though they could pull back their claws. Well bears can't do so.
He wasnt doing that the First time and all the city Slick comments have a clue apparently 😂 if he ran away or showed fear the bear is more likely to chase him
Ikr....that big arse beat can fart and knock that 2 ft high aluminum "barrier" over...he can stand on his hind legs and just pick dude up over the little fence....that was really a close call and now the bear is going to meander down that residential street ...wtheck!?😮😳
Mike did what God said we are all capable of doing and having. Command over the walking animals, flying birds, and creatures over the sea. I applaud his confidence and direct communication with the expected outcome! Way to go “David”!
It’s weird how simple animals can be. A gate can literally deter them from being in an area. Look at horses, they could jump half the fences they’re put behind but it’s risky
Mike is the reason that none of the many people (from the sounds of it) in that yard are maimed or dead. He put himself at risk to protect everyone there. We know there are cases when people foolishly put themselves in danger around wild animals and suffer the consequences for it. This is not one of those times.
@braemtes23 You are making Mike out to be a hero, he’s not. Sometimes bears attack, sometimes they don’t, Mike had nothing to do with what the bear decided to do.
@ImperfectlyPerfect bears don't operate on coin flip decisions. Why they do things is clearly beyond you, but I am guessing Mike weighed his options and correctly took the one with the best chance of success.
@EcnalKcin You obviously misunderstood what I said, not quite sure why. I didn’t think it was necessary to go beyond a simple explanation as to why Mike is not a hero. Mike did not control the bear or the situation, therefore Mike is not a hero. The bear did not want to kill at that particular moment for reasons only the bear would know. Are you getting my point this time?
Good reaction mate. The bear never saw him as food. But whatever he had was food. And mike wasnt sharing. Standing your ground without fear or aggression was key.
Why in america u din't enough discipline your bears to behave apropriatly? In russia this bear was out of salmon for week, and would be driven away with a slipper in this sitution (also show that a slipper is something to be afraid of easily by your own example ).
@Jason Taylor"i swear man 😅 no joke, i pointed up and said, go on, GET! And his punka*s mean mugged me, swiped my a*s with his claws, and marched on outa there! I kid u not" .....dude, stfu 😆
PSA: Don’t be like Mike. That could have gone sideways 😬 Mike was VERY lucky. That bear might’ve let him off thinking he could come back later and hunt for scraps or dig through the garbage. My guess is that bear gets fed by people 🥺
It's a black bear they aren't typically aggressive unless you are, as long as they think they can't take you you're fine, however they absolutely can take you lol. The fact he was so confident especially when the bear tested the waters by slapping him is probably part of the reason it just fucked off instead of attacking.
@Artha Jenkinstrue but black bears are pretty docile compared to the rest of the bear family like yes that bear would kill that man but it wouldn’t have the easiest time bc those bears don’t hunt they scavenge that’s why they say if it’s black fight back cuz you actually have a chance
All those people making Mike nervous and second guess were not helping. He needed to show supreme confidence there. Not have a bunch of people telling him to run out start cowaring. He made his choice and when he was firm the bear backed down. Then that lady saying Mike get out of there. He got nervous there. It was way more likely at this point to go bad from those people taking Mike's nerve. Either way lucky guy.
Lol hope this is a joke. Bear was testing him, he didn’t back down so the bear wasn’t willing to further engage, not knowing what his potential opponent might be capable of.
This bear was being very graceful!! He gave dude a little reminder..."but don't ever get it twisted! Im CHOOSING to walk away! You're not making me do nothing! "😂
@Easy Grindefinitely a big bear, had a close call with one at my job a couple weeks back about the same size. They are getting way to comfortable with us.
Damn Mike , don’t corner yourself with a 400# black bear! Brave or drunk bastard. The poor family would have to deal with your chewed up mess because you acting tough.
Just looking around the property from the video I know. Absolutely KNOW, they've been feeding this bear. We'd (I'm LEO) criminally charge the homeowners if this video is Alaska.
Lmao right?! I’m thinking… bro, that ain’t a dog. That’s a wild ass bear lol like what are you doing?!? Dumb dumb award goes to Mike 🎉 we’ll see how many he gets before he wins a casket
That was just a friendly reminder you are alive because he didn’t decide otherwise.
Omg
That's exactly how I saw that.
Yep
😂😂😂
Mike is the kind of guy that makes people leave parties early.
That's funny!! 🥸 ... Nice guy Mike... but id like to go home with all my family intact...
😂😂Im telling you.. Total clown
The bear wanted a party favor and to-go plate!
Mike actually did the right thing. He didn't panic, he didn't run, he didn't flinch. He stood his ground. The bear tested him and he didn't react any differently.

That's interesting. How can you differentiate between actual aggression and testing for a response?
I was told black bears are very dangerous and there are aggressive
This guy... giving advice. That's a wild animal. "Mike" got lucky 1 time. He had no damn clue what he was doing.
@Lightskin Legends When were you told that? Because if it's from you're childhood it was probably to keep you away from them. Not saying you should mess with them but more often than not bears will leave you alone. Polar bears are the only bears you should immediately fear and be looking for shelter.

Mike knew he was safe once he closed the bear proof gate.
All 12 oz of it
😂
😊😊😊
Underrated comment 😂
😂
Mike thought he was being cool opening that gate😂😂Bear was like "I got in here myself, i can get out myself, Move" 🐻
For real hahaha
😂😂😂😂
Mike opened up the door like that was his mother-in-law😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
and the bear gave um some of it in return 😂
"Better have my salmon by next week mike, that was a warning."
😭😭😭😭💀
Bear is making its rounds
Lol your comment made my week
Lol
😂😂😂
Never put yourself in a situation where it's up to the giant apex predator whether or not you're eaten.
Agreed. That bear was very lucky to get away safely.
Can't believe we have to provide society with these disclaimers 😅
On behalf of the idiots out there.... THANK YOU for the public service announcement 😆
Bear was like, “How dare you kick me out before serving grandma’s homemade pie.”😂
The bear hit him like “Don’t rush me!” 😂😂😂
I know !!! I feel sad for the bear...🥺seems sad.
@Maureen Nelleit literally just attacked an innocent person
Imagine grizzly and paws really extended - mike was gonna be real different from now on
Seemed more like he wasn't pleased to be told to go.
@james smith Like I was saying, he could have ripped Mike's head off in the blink of an eye.
Every family reunion from now on , everyone is going to have to look at uncle miles scar where the bear got him.
tamll
That wouldn’t turn creepy or anything!😳
Mike, listen to people. They are going to be the ones scraping your intestines from the road.
The bear was actually really polite.
С ним плохи шуткти😅😅😅
The bear was reminding Mike that showing off for Mike's friends at the expense of trying to belittle him wasn't going to go easily.
@abCp5fn :- if scratching someone's thigh is polite to u den the bear is really polite.. he didn't bite him or eat him but he showed his dislikeness by scratching on his thigh so that's already harsh and rude of the bear
Right it's like the bear hit him as to say a man why you kicking me out sir like why I gotta exit through the gate 😂😂😂
the way this bear could EASILY hop over this fence OR EVEN DESTROY IT. he put a lot of trust in that 2 foot tall fence😂
Bear is a gentleman, he simply said " you first"!
😂
I think black bear doesn't hurt
Bear was like “this party sucks anyways”.
😂😂😂😂😂
Bear was: you don’t tell me what to do
*gentle slap*
you’re lucky you’re not alone
Oh dear, you are the best!
😂😂😂
Even took a pouty swipe at him over it. 🤣
That’s right; the bear definitely understands your gestures
Bravest man ever who bounced a bear from the party and lived to tell the tale
That bear was like "Mike, I'll give you a pass today. I dont wanna embarrass you in front of all your lil friends" 😅😅
Precisely 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
☠️☠️☠️☠️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a thoughtful bear!! Love that bear!!
We all have our stupid moments and this was Mikes… Hopefully when you sobered up you realized just how lucky you and everyone around you was that day..
I agree 👍 very lucky 😂
The bear was very gentle. Lucky you all
Mike is lucky he did not become a statistic
Don’t be like Mike
Be like mike.
And you know that!!!
Yep you never know when your going to become one of the one people a year that Black Bears kill.
Agreed:
On God 😂
At least the bear has better listening skills than Mike.
That was a love tap, bears are just really powerful
That was no love tap. He got clawed, did you not see the blood at the end of the vid?
@Faithlynn GabrielI was a very friendly tap. But the bear has claws. Have a look at cats who are considered "pets". They scratch their owners all over even though they could pull back their claws. Well bears can't do so.
"No!" 😂 He was talking to that bear like it was a damn dog. He is lucky af!
He wasnt doing that the First time and all the city Slick comments have a clue apparently 😂 if he ran away or showed fear the bear is more likely to chase him
I mean it is one of the softer breads 😂😂😂
Yeah the bear is lucky he didnt have to use force
Frfr
Mike wasn’t scared😂 glad he’s ok
The bear said “shut up, don’t tell me what to f-ing do”, with that swipe 😂
That slight swipe is a reminder of how strong that bear is and what COULD'VE happened. Good thing the bear was just curious.
Bear really said “I’m leaving, but only cos I felt like it. Let’s get that straight”
Haha this was the perfect voice over for that bear
😂😂😂 right
😂
😂
Nah bear was intimidated at mikes raw determination to point
That was very humiliating for the bear to ask him to leave the party...😢
All Mike cared about what the few scratches he got… and the bear left like “I will leave buddy but this is far from over…” 😂😂😂😂😂
The moment he shut that impenetrable metal security gate behind that bear, he instantly gave that sigh of relief.
Ikr....that big arse beat can fart and knock that 2 ft high aluminum "barrier" over...he can stand on his hind legs and just pick dude up over the little fence....that was really a close call and now the bear is going to meander down that residential street ...wtheck!?😮😳
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 exactly
Bear like : Do u even realize that arm is mine if I want it ? Go back to ur campfire MMike … bc that’s what I want!😂
the most astute observation
😂😂😂😂😂
Respect works both ways and it shows!But how he says "no" to the bear. Like "bad boy" is so cute! 😂
Mike did what God said we are all capable of doing and having. Command over the walking animals, flying birds, and creatures over the sea. I applaud his confidence and direct communication with the expected outcome! Way to go “David”!
I love that they’re all cool once the gate closes like they’re now safe haha
Lmfao right
reminds me of that episode where spongebob and patrick draw the circle in the dirt 💀
It’s weird how simple animals can be. A gate can literally deter them from being in an area. Look at horses, they could jump half the fences they’re put behind but it’s risky
@Dpboom1Right 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
If it's brown, lay down.
If it's black, fight back.
If it's white…..goodnight
Mike is the guy that’s never wrong, gets drunk & then the parties over & he goes home to best his spouse
Mike is the reason warning labels are necessary
Mike is the reason that none of the many people (from the sounds of it) in that yard are maimed or dead. He put himself at risk to protect everyone there. We know there are cases when people foolishly put themselves in danger around wild animals and suffer the consequences for it. This is not one of those times.

Such a calmness. That saves the day: friendship probably established.
Mike was drunk off his a$$ and had courage from a bottle. That, or he was just sick and tired of bears crashing his parties.
Good reaction mate. The bear never saw him as food. But whatever he had was food. And mike wasnt sharing. Standing your ground without fear or aggression was key.
The funniest part is when Mike tries to discipline that fuzzy killing machine like it's a naughty puppy. 😂
Why in america u din't enough discipline your bears to behave apropriatly? In russia this bear was out of salmon for week, and would be driven away with a slipper in this sitution (also
show that a slipper is something to be afraid of easily by your own example ).
Right
It worked😂
Bears are just big forest dogs, but beware, impossible to fully train.
Yessss that's the part that got me 😂😂😂
The bear wasn’t attacking but it’s still a bear. The guy stayed amazingly calm and that is what probably saved him from being mauled into burger meat.
Nothing worse than when u have to ask someone to leave
Mike is that one guy that always tells you stories you never believed they're true
Ahaahs so true. And i gave the bear a look.
GTFOH, you ain't punk no black bear and make him leave no damn party! Mike is always lying! 😅
Well I be Damn! Mike wasn't Lying! 😳
@Jason Taylor"i swear man 😅 no joke, i pointed up and said, go on, GET! And his punka*s mean mugged me, swiped my a*s with his claws, and marched on outa there! I kid u not"
.....dude, stfu 😆
@D. Cohee 😂
PSA: Don’t be like Mike. That could have gone sideways 😬
Mike was VERY lucky.
That bear might’ve let him off thinking he could come back later and hunt for scraps or dig through the garbage.
My guess is that bear gets fed by people 🥺
Mike had the confidence that only 8 Busch lights can give you.
😂😂😂
Definitely not Bud Light, lol.
@Candice Brunsonlame joke
@Cerberuswell now we know who drinks bud light
Mike looked at him and said “Hey, NO!😠”
as a teacher, I felt that.
Mike, that’s a wild fucking animal sir.
"hey HEY!.. NO! 😡👉" 😂😂😂 mike is hilarious
What the bear didn't know was Mike is a wild fucking animal too!
Er hat trotzdem schlechte Manieren.
@Streeknine I absolutely love this. 💀🤣
Everything is wild until it's not 🤣
Mike did right...he didn't show fear and was in command!
That bear has more manners than my neighbors 😂
If you decide to dance with a bear, it is the bear that decides how the dance ends.
True wisdom
Smith and Wesson just entered the chat!
Are you kidding??? All that bear has to do is lean forward and either destroy the fence or roll over it into the yard. YIKES!
no shit
100
It's a black bear they aren't typically aggressive unless you are, as long as they think they can't take you you're fine, however they absolutely can take you lol.
The fact he was so confident especially when the bear tested the waters by slapping him is probably part of the reason it just fucked off instead of attacking.
😅❤😅😮 now That's What I call taking one for the team. Way to go Mike! Just earned the party title, "Bear Bouncer".
I love how he points his finger at it with a firm NO like it was a dog. Very Lucky Man
Can i pet that daug😂😂
Right "No" that bear could've ripped his guts out 😫😫😫
@Artha Jenkinstrue but black bears are pretty docile compared to the rest of the bear family like yes that bear would kill that man but it wouldn’t have the easiest time bc those bears don’t hunt they scavenge that’s why they say if it’s black fight back cuz you actually have a chance
It sucks that we’re taking up their space and then tell them to “get out”. 😔
A wild animal is gunna always be just that, a wild animal.
I think Mike had a few beers and the Bear knew it and gave Mike a break.
Who had a few beers? Mike, or the bear?
😂i see what you did there 😢
For God damn sure..
I can’t bear this 😂😂😂
Mike got a pass and used it lol
Gotta love the. . "Whoa, Hey....NO." Like it was an oversized puppy chewing a slipper 😂
Thats the same way the group acts when Mike leaves the bar after too many.
Good thing you close that fence behind him so he couldn't get back in and get you.
I bet he felt relieved after he closed it too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂
Bear was just liking Mike's Lake Life Vibes shirt.
That is one lucky man. Darwin Award of the year.
Shoutout to the camera man for being in place, quiet and prepared for the mauling.
😮🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂🫡
😭😭🤣🤣
If it was a women she would be screaming and filming the ground and trees
💯💯😂🤣😂
The bear just had to remind him that “You don’t run shit!!” 😂😂😂
That was a friendly pas from the bear saying he'll be back when theres more people.
Mike is still alive because that bear was like “this fool is so stupid he couldn’t taste very good”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nailed it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hes alive because he didnt move. if he wouldve tried to get away hed be dead. that bear paw swiping him was trying to call his bluff.
Woah, you hit the nail on the head!
All those people making Mike nervous and second guess were not helping. He needed to show supreme confidence there. Not have a bunch of people telling him to run out start cowaring. He made his choice and when he was firm the bear backed down. Then that lady saying Mike get out of there. He got nervous there. It was way more likely at this point to go bad from those people taking Mike's nerve. Either way lucky guy.
Mike is G. Legend has it he's out telling bears "no" to their party invasions. 😂
That bear was like, don’t f-ing rush me Mike, I don’t need an escort 😂
LMAO 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Mike Mike Mike! Haha
😂😂😂😂
Jaaa björnen sagt till honom du behöves inte att sparka mig 😡 jag kan gå själv 😠
😂😂
That's a 350-plus pound bear. You, sir, have some brass balls!!
This why you always invite your friend Mike from Florida to every party.
Yeah, bear was definitely not taking that low level of disrespect had to check him at the end. 😂
Hahah thta was a alpha swipe for sure.
😂😂 had to remind his ass he in his “hood” and he control the block.
Lol hope this is a joke. Bear was testing him, he didn’t back down so the bear wasn’t willing to further engage, not knowing what his potential opponent might be capable of.
Yeah bear was like..... this one of those crazy humans.
Мишка на прощание по дружески хлопнул по плечу..😂
Mike has a story to tell the grand kids
Bear said, "Yah, ima go, but ima give you a little sumpin to remember me by."😊
"How you like that, Mr.Usher?"
😂😂😂
He didn't like being told to leave in that tone
For sure
Lmao yep😂😂
The bear was like
"Aight, you a real one, I'll go"
He is lucky to be alive. That black bear could have easily killed him. He was huge.
Bear "better have my honey next week"
"Where my honey?" (SMACK) 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 muy buena esa
😂😂😂😂
Everyone else freaking out meanwhile the Bear scratches him and he scolded that bear like it was a 5 year old having a tantrum. 🤣🤣🤣
You can’t run from a black bear. They smell fear. That love tap was to try and see what would happen.
This bear was being very graceful!! He gave dude a little reminder..."but don't ever get it twisted! Im CHOOSING to walk away! You're not making me do nothing! "😂
😂😂😂
Mother nature is beautiful my ass
Exactly 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Как же он рискует своей жизнью, видно зацепил мужика лапой а когти у них большие, медведь ещё спокойный попался и небольшой, мужик везунчик!!!
Thank God Mike was not seriously injured.
I like how he quickly closes that little gate like it's going to stop the bear.
Yeh that was pretty smart and quick thinking, no way the bear is getting back in with the gate is shut.
😂 exactly
Exactly ' What a joke.
What would he do if it was a big bear.
@george kishlol that was a big bear... naybe not enourmous but big enough to flatten anyone there and nobody being able to nothing about it.
@Easy Grindefinitely a big bear, had a close call with one at my job a couple weeks back about the same size. They are getting way to comfortable with us.
Mike is an absolute savage
Mike really half effort squared up what a legend
I love how he shut that gate as if the bear couldn’t turn it into a friendship bracelet in seconds.
😂😂😂 A friendship bracelet😂😂😂
😂 that's clever, a friendship bracelt
@Daisy 10mortal kombat
Didn’t ever latch it 😂
Not friendship bracelet ☠️
That bear had to go find some Charmin Ultra after Mike told him no. That Pooh bear done shitted in his drawers.
Very Adorable bear - Hugs!
Bear: Mike, I'll just give you a love tap to remind you you're not in control here.
Just remember folx, control is just an illusion.
So, freaking underrated!😆
I believe Mike is the bear.
🤣🤣👍🐻
@Kurtney Todman No, Mike is the man giving orders to the bear.
Damn Mike , don’t corner yourself with a 400# black bear! Brave or drunk bastard. The poor family would have to deal with your chewed up mess because you acting tough.
I love how he closed the fence like that would make sure the bear wouldn’t get back in. 😂😂
I love how Mike closed that super heavy duty toddler gate as if he was somehow safe now😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Thank god. We’re safe now.
😅
Lol
Mike closes the gate and yells “LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED RIGHT!”
He pointed at the bear and said “no!” Like
It’s a puppy in training. Lol😂
Dude was talking to him like he was the house pet.
😂😂yess talkin bout some "hey hey Noo"😂😂😂
Ikr😮
It worked
Just looking around the property from the video I know. Absolutely KNOW, they've been feeding this bear.
We'd (I'm LEO) criminally charge the homeowners if this video is Alaska.
🤣😭💀
😂😂 that bear said why are you not telling the other guys to leave…. Ohh I see why😂
He just wanted to give Mike a little reminder who is the real tough guy
Mike was using his GODGiven Authority
That bear wasnt trying to hurt him. Just pawed him, like saying high, I guess. Your a great person Paul.
Es el oso mas bondadoso del estado !!❤
Mike said “no!“ like bear was a golden retriever lmaooo Mike was almost dinner.
Lmao right?! I’m thinking… bro, that ain’t a dog. That’s a wild ass bear lol like what are you doing?!? Dumb dumb award goes to Mike 🎉 we’ll see how many he gets before he wins a casket
Mike the bear whisperer!! Mike is a brave man 💪!!
You just don’t understand the lake life vibes
Oh because he was a BLACK 🖤 Bear 🐻 Lol 😭
