Yet more motivation for me to lose weight, bears.
You can see the guy was scared & his knees (camo) were shaking when the bear climbed up next to him. Towards the end of his vid, you clearly see he was scared. but then who wouldn't be.
I remember seeing that youtube a while back. Been carrying a handgun with my rifle ever since.
Fear was the appropriate response there. That was a pretty big bear there. Got up that tree scary fast too. I wonder if the bear was curious or if it though there might be some snacks up there?

Prettt bad situational awareness if you wake up after the bear is already chewing on you. Must have had one of those dreams you don't want to wake up from lol.

Luclily a black bear can be stopped with a .308. I don't think the same is true of grizzlies.
Didn't someone post a story a little while ago where some hiker unloaded a 9mm into a grizz and killed it?

Really? I don't know. Must have been one hell of a lucky shot or two! I wouldn't feel safe in grizzly country with just a nine, but it is better than just a fist!
Me neither, I'd want a .44 mag for grizzlies.

Yeah. At least. Maybe that .500 Darth has.
I would need a lot of practice to where I could shoot a .500 well enough for competent bear defense.

I remember reading that story about that guy putting down a grizzly with a 9mm, I would NEVER GO IN THE CASCADES with only a 9mm. The grizzlies here in Washington State are not as big as they get in other areas, but 400 pounds of pure Hell On Four Feet need some some serious ammo thrown at them. i carry full bore 357 magnum, 44 magnum or my 10mm Glock 20 with sixteen rounds of good ammo and always on my belt.
They roam where I go shooting with my grandson. I always make sure he doesn't go to far from me when we are way back in the woods on the logging roads where we go shooting. This one spot is six miles back in off the seasonal road way up top of one of the mountains.
You can see snow on the mountain top in the back ground.
Actually cougars are more of a threat in my opinion.

Yes. I think this was the story..... Alaskan outffiter kills grizzly with 9mm
Turns out the outfitter owns a S&W 629 but decided to carry the 9mm that day. Lucky for them, the outcome was in their favor.
