Re: Bear Spray Used on a Bear Caught on Camera
to my amazement people think bears actually know they are called bears..in english.


wow use your brains. he could have been saying "woaaa squirrel, woaaaa wolf, woaaa dodo bird", and bear would have reacted the same. you YELL and act threatening to scare it off. its all about tone and he was too calm about it. oh well, spray works and hes alive and the bear is alive,
 Quoting: allentownchemtard


I tell you he was selling bear spray. No one in his right mind would be walking backwards holding a cam if this was 'real' danger.

Yeah, seems like he took too many chances just to promote bear spray. What if he tripped and fell while in reverse mode?

Not very smart, imo.
The truth is easy to remember.

Re: Bear Spray Used on a Bear Caught on Camera
Bear spray is amazing.. against humans. I mean better than a gun, shuts them down immediately. Against a bear? Ironically not so much.

The last time I was in Montana, I was told a story by a local near Whitefish. An experienced guide was out in the woods, never came back. They found him half eaten (the bear buried the other half, presumably to come back and eat it later). Next to his body was a spent container of bear spray.

I always presumed that he missed - it’s not easy to take the safety off and fire that thing accurately when a grizzly is hurtling toward you. But now I’m not so sure…
 Quoting: Shaun Kaven


Wow, that’s so sad! :(

I took the safety off of mine to test it after I bought it. The spray is on the outside of my backpack with ziplock bag over it with a loose elastic around the bag. I’m really mindful of bears here because there’s lots of them, except when I have my camera, I can’t find them when I have that ready lol.

Wildland firefighter and nature photographer, Curtis Matishwyn, encounters a black bear and uses SABRE Wild Max Bear Spray. Watch the video to learn what to do when you encounter a bear.

But they are God's critters too.

Re: Bear Spray Used on a Bear Caught on Camera
Spending 17 years on rivers in Alaska, I researched/learned as much about bears as possible. It was time well spent, as I have had many sightings (with some encounters very close).

There are some very good and accurate comments here, as well as some steeped in ignorance of bears and their behavior.


-As some posters have said; this is a cinnamon phase juvenile black bear. In addition to the physical characteristics that give it away, its tree climbing proclivity is a feature of black bears. Browns/grizzlies don't climb them, with the exception of cubs who may do so to escape danger. It is also why black bears do it, i.e. to escape the danger of a larger brown/grizzly bear.

-This bear kept climbing up trees like it was scared of him and wanted to have its escape route already planned.

-He was saying, "hey bear" to let the bear know he was there. This is good practice, especially in thick bush and not sure of what is around as to not startle any unknown bears in the vicinity. The #1 reason to get attacked is by startling a bruin. But this bear was already aware of him. So by him saying it (especially in a calming tone) was useless. Furthermore, it may have been counterproductive since this bear may have been conditioned by stupid humans to not be afraid of them. Or even worse, some stupid humans could have conditioned it with food. Either way, it knew he was there and was curious of him, not startled or aggressive. And he maybe kept luring it along with his soothing voice. If he would have shut up and kept backing away, it may have stayed in one of the trees until he cleared the area.


I wonder if some posters are correct and he sells bear spray. If so, he may have known where a humanized juvenile bear is located to make his video showing the effectiveness of the spray. If so, he's an ass.
 Quoting: Georgia_dawg



Thank you. I don't know much about them.
I know to keep my distance from them should I encounter them.
I ride alot in the Piedmont National Forest and have never seen one.
My friend has pointed out scratches?? on trees that he said were bear scratches.

I don't know. We make a lot of noise usually to scare away the wildlife as we ride. Like I said before I don't want to tangle with one.

Bear spray is not as strong as regular human pepper spray/ mace. It has a stronger spray so that you can get the bear before it gets in paws reach but the actual active ingredient is weaker because bears have a much greater reaction to the active ingredient
 Quoting: Jeff_43


What? Huh? Are we just making stuff up now?

Bear spray is two orders of magnitude stronger than regular mace. Look it up. And anyone who has been even remotely near it when it has been discharged knows this. I’m talking about the absolute worst pain of your life and it last 24 hours.

Why post about something you know absolutely nothing about?

Re: Bear Spray Used on a Bear Caught on Camera
Some general info on bear spray:

Alot of people think that bear pepper spray is the most potent type of spray.

It actually isn't. Self defense pepper spray is much much more potent and encapacitating to a recipient.

Bear pepper spray is formulated to be just enough irritant to be unpleasant to the bear, in order to cause it to want to run away, and is NOT to the strength level that it irritates the bear, for it to become angered and then to go into an attack response.

 Quoting: IFartInYourDirection


Back around 2005 I was in Yellowstone talking to a ranger that told me about a couple that got eaten by a grizzly.

Apparently the idiot shot the grizzly with a .32 auto!

lmao

When the ranger came upon the grizzly he had a 30 06 lever action with him, and a .44 magnum handgun. He emptied the 6 rounds of 30 06 into the grizzly, and then switched to his .44 magnum, all the time thinking he would save the last .44 mag bullet for himself. He lucked out and the grizzly dropped before he ran out of .44 mags.

When they cut the grizzly open they found the remains of the couple the grizzly had eaten. They also found tiny .32 auto bullets lodged in it's outer fat.


Back in the 1980s when I was a forester one of my friends won a contract up in Alaska, and he tried to get me to work the contract with him. He said I would have to buy a .44 magnum because of the grizzlies. I told him, "No thank you."

Re: Bear Spray Used on a Bear Caught on Camera
I would have shot the bear in the face with lead instead of pepper spray. He could have had a nice rug.

Back around 2005 I was in Yellowstone talking to a ranger that told me about a couple that got eaten by a grizzly.

Apparently the idiot shot the grizzly with a .32 auto!

lmao

When the ranger came upon the grizzly he had a 30 06 lever action with him, and a .44 magnum handgun. He emptied the 6 rounds of 30 06 into the grizzly, and then switched to his .44 magnum, all the time thinking he would save the last .44 mag bullet for himself. He lucked out and the grizzly dropped before he ran out of .44 mags.

When they cut the grizzly open they found the remains of the couple the grizzly had eaten. They also found tiny .32 auto bullets lodged in it's outer fat.


Back in the 1980s when I was a forester one of my friends won a contract up in Alaska, and he tried to get me to work the contract with him. He said I would have to buy a .44 magnum because of the grizzlies. I told him, "No thank you."
