How she charged out of nowhere is insane. She literally appeared in the blink of an eye. Insane how fast that happened too.

... and I would have soiled myself. Well done on maintaining your composure!

Now this was a good video. So glad everything worked out great for both parties.

After that shot mama bear retreated yelling, “ you can have those kids!” 😼

Besides what happened, I just wanted to know where this happened in Alaska? Because this is a beautiful looking river bank!!

Isn’t that why a lot guides will carry large caliber revolvers?

Moms don't play about their babies! I'm glad she got the hint of 1st shot was a warning shot, at least I hope it was and he didn't just miss and he didn't have to kill her and leave her cubs motherless.

What was he shooting that jammed and WHY???

[ledelgriffin]

No laughing till we make it back to the jeep😅

The guy with the gun saved all three men. She wanted to feed her cubs some ape meat!

[leftie]

I'm glad both are alive...the bears get to keep momma bear, and the boys are still alive

At that range you aim to kill not scare

[lonelylosersclub]

Holy shit the way that bear charged was quick and powerful af!!!

[wrxaddict]

Keeping calm and acting quickly are key. Very good example of both.

[lynnpitts]

Such composure. Understanding she was just wanting to protect her cubs and giving a warning shot first. Mad respect.

[AlaskaWild]

Never “scare” a Grizzly that close in a full charge. You are blessed to be alive.

[Dougarrowhead]

I have been charged twice by black bears. It happens fast and unexpected sometimes. Not fun at all. Cool video Fred!

[RUNNOFT]

WHOA! Glad everyone is safe. Just think if the guy shooting the gun would have panicked, or didn't have that gun. Man, that bear charge was intense!
