Huge Grizzly Bear Gets A Warning ⚠️ #alaska #grizzlies

[CalebJacques]

I am armed with a 44Magnum. I am an experienced Bear Safari Guide and if you guide long enough, you run into bears like this one which approached us. The best thing you can do is stand your ground, have your bearspray ready, and make yourself big and loud when necessary.
In over a decade working around THESE bears, on THIS river, I have never needed to deploy my firearm.
ADVENTURE RESPONSIBLY ⚠️

I am happy to see it from here, on my phone, and sitting on my couch in Scotland. Thanks

He’s old. Can’t tell how old but old and he looks a bit thin, not sure what kind of eating season he’s had but a hungry bear is a ready to roll bear.
I was injured in a bear encounter in Alaska 25 years ago.
I was NOT attacked but I still spent two weeks in the hospital.
To this day I see grizzly bears and feel my heart rate go up.
They’re just so big in real life!
I was camping, I exited the tent and my situational awareness was not peak, I had a major lapse in judgment and walked through a bear path without realizing I’d crossed between a mother and cubs.
I was not a threat, it was midsummer so they were well fed, and I did the only thing I knew to do:
Go fetal, cover my neck and head.
She ran towards me and I dropped. No point in running, climbing or swimming, they have us beat.
She wasn’t feeling terribly aggressive toward me, she was curious though.
She used her paw to push me, to check me out…I can still smell her fur and hot breath. She was snuffling around me checking me out and sort of batting me around to see what I was made of. It felt like hours but was probably more like 30-45 seconds.
I had lacerations all along my midsection and thighs, I also had a broken clavicle, punctured lung, and ruptured disc.
She didn’t want to hurt me, but they’re just that strong.
I couldn’t even yell, the wind was knocked out of me and I couldn’t breathe.
I had a major infection from her paw flora that’s why the hospital stay was so long.
Respect bears, they’re awesomely powerful.

The bear walked away all heartbroken. "Gosh. I just wanted a hug." 😢

Human: "We scared him away with a verbal warning."
Bear: "I just had some Salmon, I'll save these guys for later."

Bear reconsidered when he saw the cameraman.

Bear: "I was just curious. You all look delicious. Wasn't gonna eat you, I swear." 😊

It's nice to see this big, wild creature up close without someone dying or getting hurt.

Animals are smarter than most people realize. Bears are apex predators but, they also want the least path of resistance to their meals. This bear will continue to show interest because the facts are....we are all a potential meal to them.
Love your channel!!

❤😂🎉 You are asking for trouble by standing in his fishing spot .

Bear: “Salmon or human for lunch today?”

[LIVTOMCHUROO]

If you can see a grizzly bear without binoculars you're too close.

[AlBrownComedy]

What was the verbal warning? That wind noise is brutal.

[moe]

"Adventure responsibly" sounds like an oxymoron, but I get your drift 👍🤣

[ll-OnlyXans-ll]

lol I love how bears always look like they are walking with saggy pants on when you see them walking from the back

[wesbodine]

Bear is like "Havin any luck?"🐻 LOL!

I only ever had one encounter with a couple bears when camping with my dad at a state park in California, I was about 5-6 years old at the time.
It was late afternoon and they wandered into our camp looking for food.
My dad picked me up and we got inside the car, with my dad ready to drive off if the bears approached. They were there for about 10 minutes and decided to leave when they realized there weren’t any available snacks easily accessible. They didn’t pay us much attention.
I was mildly nervous, but not excessively worried or alarmed.

[AK-jtkh]

I love the way the bear approached as if he wasn’t really paying attention to you 😂
Sneaky boy

[warriors]

Never bring your self to a grizzly fight.

[SolaGratia.]

He was really bummed out that yall weren't interested in being snacks. Poor old fella. 😂
