      You dont know that paul harvey. People do things they thought theyd never do when danger happens. Survival instincts kick in. You dont think about the future but the present danger. Seen self sacrificing strangers save children without a second hesitation, like me.
      My worst fear is being eaten alive, bears like hyneas eat you while you are alive through your stomach or backend..Nightmare fuel!
      But i jumped between a charging black bear and a 3 yr old without my side arm, only knife in my hand because i was cooking. Picked him up like a football and ran towards my truck, where my shotgun was laying on tailgate. My son dropped him 10ft away from me & terrified precious boy. I put boy on the tailgate and shot one more time for safe measure Over muscle twitching but my son killed him instantly.
      That child was from different camp, Whos urbanite parents thought it was safe for him to wonder off. Thank god my son countered my reaction & had a accurate shot. I just reacted, i didnt know him but I went in momma bear protecting baby mode on a male bear during hyperphagia. Not one day goes by do i regret that decision.
      Now i get to know campers around me& educate them. I have a dog who's a predator deterrent and my side arm never leaves my side! So better to over prepare than put yourself in harms way! But you never know your capabilities until its needed!

      @@mrsinkzn I think your anger is a bit misguided. We are all upset at what happened and of course we feel sympathy towards the victims, but to wish that all bears were extinct is ridiculous. We are encroaching on their territory, interfering with their environment, and depriving them of their natural food sources. What happened there is unfortunate, but it is also preventable. The bears have no malice, they are just doing what bears do. Mothers protect their babies and starving bears look for food. That doesn't make them evil, it just makes them wild animals. The only ones that actually have evil motives are humans. Don't get me wrong, if a bear is threatening people it needs to go down, but for you to want to exterminate all bears is not only misguided, it's moronic and I'd also say malicious.

      This is typically only true if they have little to no experience with people. They’re not as timid as once would expect, and I say this as someone from BC with multiple black bear encounters. There’s a huge issue with black bears becoming accustomed to people and all that comes with us. Believe it or not, but in Canada black bears are actually responsible for around 70% of all incidents. Although their attacks are typically defensive rather than predatory. Grizzles do make up for the largest amount of fatal attacks but at the end of the day never underestimate a black bear. Due to being more skittish by nature they’re easier to spook into a defensive attack.

    • @mrdark9916
      @mrdark9916 Před 20 dny

      ​​​@@kaelinn510actually you have that backwards.. black bear attacks are actually much more likely to be predatory in nature, while Grizzly attacks are majority defensive.
      This is why you play dead for grizzly, and not for black bear. Because if a black bear is attacking you it is likely actively intending to eat you and playing dead will not help, while playing dead is often effective in the end for a grizzly attack.
      So its kind of a catch-22.

It’s not like they wanna travel for hours to the next state just for a hike. I don’t get it either because I’d never put myself or anyone let alone my kids in a situation like this, but the only human stupidity is not bringing a defense of some sort. Otherwise, places that have bears really can’t be helped. They don’t have other safer means of a hike. If it’s a chance they wanna take, let them, but don’t sit there and act as if someone has a choice of whether an apex predator attacks or can’t be helped they reside where they do. It’s NATURE. Don’t forget we are animals just like them. And more brutal considering we have rapists and killers and have an intellectual thought process. Another issue is the media animorphasizes predator animals.

    The father saying that he didn’t think he’d ever be attacked by a bear while hiking in bear country, so he didn’t see the need to have the bear spray easily accessible. “You don’t think it could ever happen to you.” I’ve heard other people say the same thing in regards to being in areas where wild predators are, and I can’t wrap my head around where that kind of thinking could come from. I’m not being critical, I’d just truly like to understand the psychology of “It won’t happen to me.”

      James O'Brien -- saw a vid of a bear charging a man. He shot the thing close range near the head/shoulder area with a friggin shot gun. The bear tripped for just a split second before running off.
      The man went out expecting to see a dead bear on the ground some distance away, but found nothing. No blood trail either.
      My point is a shotgun will work, and I’m sure a rifle as well, but probably not a hand gun unless it’s essentially a mini rifle. Lol

Besides, you have a huge grizzly bear and your friend is on the ground, you have a hunting rifle with a scope, not that you need the scope of that range. So, why can't you shoot again? How bad of a shot do you have to be if you are worried about hitting him? I know things happen fast and the adrenaline is flowing. I know I'm second-guessing and I wasn't there, so I realize it's not as easy as I make it sound, but still it seems like he should have taken at least one shot while his friend was getting mauled
