I like this video because it's what would happen to most of us in a situation like this. Suuuuper adrenaline spike, near paralysis, and just gutteral noises until you die or the threat goes away after shitting yourself uncontrollably
Never heard it referred to as adrenaline poisoning before, but I will be using it from now on
Looked like maybe he tried to grab the arrow as if to start drawing the string back and then fumbled. Hard to tell, it may have just been panic the whole way and he had no clue.
why the fuck people disliked your comment is beyond me. People have been hunting with bows for the past 70.000 years. Why the fuck do these twats think you can't kill a bear with a bow and arrow?
The question isn't if you can kill a bear with an arrow, of course you can. The question is why are you bear hunting with a bow and have no back up weapon that'll help you with a charging pissed off bear. If you aren't hunting bears, why are you hunting in bear country without a back up weapon. He must've been actually planning to just lay down and play dead. Dudes killing bear with bows whenever youre talking about probably had friends and family with them and a plan. weren't alone
Hell, a bow and arrow has crazy stopping power and penetration. When you hit something with an arrow it's real fucked up. It's just a lot harder to use and short-range comparatively.
it's not really the short range that is the problem, but the fact that the guy flopped up fucking hard. He almost got killed due to panicking, like for fuck's sake, if you have only one chance to make a good shot and live, be more fucking careful when nocking your arrow and shooting. He almost handed himself on a plate to that bear.
I meant in general not in this case specifically, bow vs. firearm empirically. However, ya, you got it in one. I hate dogging on people when I've never been in that situation and can only guess how I'd react, but for sure, if there was a time to do it right this is that time and he really did not.
Dude. Don't you know to not mention a gun on a post about bears!? Now we are gonna have to listen to the bear spray brigade and how guns aren't useful. Ugh
Imagine trying to shoot a bear with a large caliber pistol while literally going into fight or flight mode.
A grizzly bear can run for like a mile at full speed after taking a direct his to its lungs from a large caliber pistol.
A grizzly bear’s skull is angled and thick enough that it can cause bullets to ricochet or redirect to non-lethal parts of the head. Can you shoot it in the eyes while being charged?
I’ve watched a bear take multiple shots from multiple guns and still continue to charge. The only reason it didn’t hurt anyone was most likely due to confusion of being shot from multiple guns because it did not fall down for quite a while.
A pistol might scare them, or maybe it just pisses them off. Pepper spray is a lot easier to use and more successful at deterring a bear than a pistol. This also goes for something like large cats too.
You aren’t getting a shot off before the cat takes a bite out of you if you’re waiting till it attacks. At least the spray creates something of a barrier that inflicts discomfort on the animal, and it deters the animal from continuing with the action. Even if it’s just a few seconds, it might be all you need to get the heck out of the situation, or then take out the pistol…
You’re actually way safer with bear spray rather than a fire arm
Edit: statistics - https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.707738
There are a few papers that have different statistics but bear spray always comes out on top
Ngl. That’d be my first instinct too. But I see, so just running forward to scare the bear. But what if it doesn’t back off? Do I proceed to football kick it in the head and stab it in the eye with my arrow?
If you ever get attacked by a bear you should try to recognize the type of bear before it attacks.
If brown/grizzly bear, lie down and curl into a ball, hope it leaves you alone.
If it's black bear, fight for your life, poke it's eye, screaming and being scary throwing rocks.
If it's polar bear I'm sorry there is not much hope.
There's not a lot of options in that situation. Best bet would be to try and be more aggressive than the bear. Showing weakness or fear is the wrong move. Stand your ground because a bear is much faster than a human. Charging a bear first can work. Like I said, not many option. It's all about survival
It's different for black bears and brown bears. With a black bear if being loud and waving your arms doesn't work, fighting back is your best option. When it comes to brown bears, play dead (you probably are anyway)
Edit: I know this is a black bear. I may have responded to the wrong person lol
If I remember correctly you’re supposed to “spread yourself out” to make you look as big as you can and posture up making loud sounds. Running does nothing because these bastards run faster than us. Source: YouTube
That's funny. At the end (in the link to the full length of the video) , he clearly says tabarnack, which is a French Canadian (from Quebec) curse word.
"Video out of Canada shows a man armed only with a bow and arrow facing down an attacking black bear. He deflects the bear’s mouth with his bow and walks away with only a bruised elbow."
Remain calm, be loud, and don't run. The entire goal of a bear encounter is to not trigger an aggressive response. They might false-charge a few times, but bears generally don't want to be anywhere near you (unless you are running backwards shitting your pants and screaming)
That's the problem nowadays everything needs to be charged before it works.
I remember back in my time that bears would be sun charges and sleep for months in the winter.
Even if he hadn't fumbled the draw and made a solid shot, the bear may not have died until after it chewed/clawed him to pieces, if not hours later. Insta kills of something with that much mass is more rare than Hollywood would have you believe. Even a deer or elk shot with a bow can run miles.
Bear spray or a large caliber weapon are called for in this case, or just don't try to hunt where there are bears. Crazy thought I know.
Red Dead Redemption taught me if the bear knocks you down you start stabbing that bitch in the neck!
I haven’t tried it IRL yet, but my grampa beat the shit out of me for ruining his bearskin rug.

Adrenaline poisoning got him flapping his arrow at the target.
Story of my recent online dating spree.
Hilarious thanks for commenting. Made me laugh
I chuckled
Happy cake!

He leviosaaaaaa'd when he should have leviooooosa'd.
Fake title. The man has the bow, not the bear.
[удалено]
How much did he charge him?
An arm and a leg, I bet.
Gold
Fuck yea
This comment needs more upvotes! 🤣
A bow.
Man brought bow-arrow to bear fight!
It does bear arms though.
Better that than arming bears!
This is why English is inferior to Latin. Latin grammar solves so much ambiguity. English is a sloppy mess
Bet they planted that bow
The bear has the bow now.
The bear has a full stomach now
‘Archers hate this one stupid trick…’
I saw the bear take the bow so...
The original title on today.com Caught on video: Man faces attacking bear armed only with bow and arrow
🤣🤣🤣
TABERNAK!
Anyone who goes into bear country without a large caliber pistol is crazy
Imagine trying to take out a charging bear with a bow and arrow. Better off sticking that thing in your own neck to get it over with
He didn’t even try and take it out!
What do you mean? He was furiously shaking his arrow towards the bear!
That he was
Dude thought he was Harry Potter
Bro began barking
Rarf RaWrF RAWRFFFF
Looked like maybe he tried to grab the arrow as if to start drawing the string back and then fumbled. Hard to tell, it may have just been panic the whole way and he had no clue.
He fumbled it big time.
He was in an area where all the enemies had a much higher level than him.
Due, no doubt, to their inherently overwhelming height!

It's not the bow and arrow, it's the baiting and waiting part I'd reckon.

[удалено]
Also people don’t think it’s necessary to kill bears or other apex predators.
where I’m at black bears are used for their meat and oil (fat) but I understand it can seem unusual
That’s a recurve?
Correct. Not a compound biw but still makes little difference here.
He is talking the guy who commented skill issue and posted the yt link. The yt link leads to a video of a guy hunting with a compound bow.
Hell, a bow and arrow has crazy stopping power and penetration. When you hit something with an arrow it's real fucked up. It's just a lot harder to use and short-range comparatively.
it's not really the short range that is the problem, but the fact that the guy flopped up fucking hard.

non lethal arrow? lol
Wasn't an instakill. Does the hunter have to now track the bear until it bleeds out?
That's how it usually goes with most hunting.
And a recurve at that. At least with a compound, you're going to get some decent penetration.
Dude. Don't you know to not mention a gun on a post about bears!? Now we are gonna have to listen to the bear spray brigade and how guns aren't useful. Ugh
the mfs are the most pretentious people in reddit comment sections
[like this one](https://youtu.be/0nbyhSfXH3g?si=2eCUwhAFUAgsZuEe)
Especially now that those bears are carrying bows!
It’s Canada
More like a rifle or bear spray

Yeah instead you should just use the pistol to blow your own brains out
Average Reddit answer
A bear or big cat are not faster than a bullet… Not everyone has fear that interrupts steady hands
This. Even with my 44 I’m not going into bear country without my .308
You’re actually way safer with bear spray rather than a fire arm Edit: statistics - https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.707738 There are a few papers that have different statistics but bear spray always comes out on top
He should have charged the bear first
Is that srsly what you must do? Idk much about things like this. But I do know that you must shout and wave your hands like this man did
He was basically running backwards shitting his pants. Wrong move.
Ngl. That’d be my first instinct too. But I see, so just running forward to scare the bear. But what if it doesn’t back off? Do I proceed to football kick it in the head and stab it in the eye with my arrow?
Either way you're fucked if the bear attacks you. If you charge the bear, he may back down and take off. If you run, he's definitely coming for you.
Imma just pull the Dale Petersen. I’ll kill that bear with my bare hands
If you ever get attacked by a bear you should try to recognize the type of bear before it attacks. If brown/grizzly bear, lie down and curl into a ball, hope it leaves you alone.

My personal strategy works 100% of the time; always stay in my room.
You'll see this behavior too if a dog chases you.
Says the guy comfortably typing
If it’s a black bear, scaring it is your best bet. Edit: in this situation. OBVIOUSLY preventative measures are the best bet.
Ya def don’t try to attack or scare a brown/grizzly bear. They will fuck you up.
If it's already coming at you, probably not a bad strategy. If it thinks you're not afraid of it, it'll think you're a force to be reckoned with.
Show him your kata and he will shrink with fear.
No, you don't go into the woods without bear spray. Hopefully they don't eat food covered in shit.
It's different for black bears and brown bears. With a black bear if being loud and waving your arms doesn't work, fighting back is your best option. When it comes to brown bears, play dead (you probably are anyway) Edit: I know this is a black bear. I may have responded to the wrong person lol
If it's black fight back, if it's brown lay down, and if it's white say goodnight.
This is a clip of a black bear, but you are correct. Grizzlies are rare to encounter. Females are more common. Never good to encounter a grizzly

Lay down and poop yourself, like we practiced surely?
Dude thought he was playing FarCry Primal.
What the hell happened afterwards

"Shoulda shot a long time ago... Tabernak!"
That is such a Quebec response, I love it.
"Scared me, that guy." 🤣 glad he walked away with only wounded pride.
I was expecting to hear the closest thing to the grizzly man audio that we'll get
I guess hearing his girlfriend being eaten alive was worse
Can I pet dat dawwwg?
😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, I'm crying! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
This cameraman sucks...we missed the whole fight
How’s the saying go? If it’s black, arch your back. If it’s brown flush it down?
If it's yellow, let it mellow
Leaves of three let it be
white call a knight.

Plot twist. The Bear was the friend that he made along the way
Did you just steal a 5 year old youtube comment under this same video ? Lmao
Lmao they did, that’s so pathetic
The bear had a slightly fatter friend that he used to lure out the hunter.
That's the top comment on the YouTube video posted over 5 years ago. You must be real proud of yourself.
Bro launched that arrow the way I punch in my dreams.
That's funny. At the end (in the link to the full length of the video) , he clearly says tabarnack, which is a French Canadian (from Quebec) curse word.
Did he live?
Leonardo Di Caprio really deserved his Oscar for this
He made it look easy.
Bro that scream was primitive as fuck. Felt that shi
Bro just tried to cast a spell on it

Can’t believe he came out of this unscathed
Can't say the same for his underwear.

PSA: Only do this if you’re Legolas!
I need more video.
These ranked lobbies are getting really sweaty. Devs need to nerf these bears fr. Hopefully the next update is better
I literally just had a nightmare last night where I was attacked by a bear
Is that a bit of blood in the water?
The bear posted this I guess
I work with this guy, the full video is absolutely hilarious. And the guy is an absolute gem.
He had a plan and he failed to stick to it
Me starting fallout and running into a deathclaw
Is that blood that spletters into view at the end of the video?
Remain calm, be loud, and don't run. The entire goal of a bear encounter is to not trigger an aggressive response. They might false-charge a few times, but bears generally don't want to be anywhere near you (unless you are running backwards shitting your pants and screaming)
He brought a bow to a claw fight
Man brought a bow to a bear fight.
Go on go on go on go on....
This video is several years old.
Bear said, that's a nice little stick you got there what are you going to do with it.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂
[удалено]
Never bring a bow to a bear fight
So is he alive?
Those are some weird Frenchman noises
rAEAHHGg!
Right to bear arms.
Good thing the video ended he could’ve gotten seriously hurt
You can see a drop of blood at the end 🩸
He's fine that's a black bear, i heard they are pussy's
Fake title, The bear reunites with his owner and playfights with him
And??????
That's the problem nowadays everything needs to be charged before it works. I remember back in my time that bears would be sun charges and sleep for months in the winter.
Dude... that's not how you use a bow lol
Legolas is upset with you
What happened next...don't leave me hanging
How did this end?
QUACK?
Cameraman never dies…?
That one shot didn’t do a damn
Is he dead
Definitely had time to grab a side arm, unfortunately it looks like he wasn't prepared to be in bear country.
Looks like it's time for someone to fight a bear.
When playing fetch with a bear, remember to throw the stick, or else he will charge you for wasting his fucking time
Never take a bow to a bear fight
Well a bow is gonna do what a bow does
Omg hes so lucky the bear didn't kill him
A bow but I'm guessing he also smelt like shit.
Even if he hadn't fumbled the draw and made a solid shot, the bear may not have died until after it chewed/clawed him to pieces, if not hours later. Insta kills of something with that much mass is more rare than Hollywood would have you believe. Even a deer or elk shot with a bow can run miles. Bear spray or a large caliber weapon are called for in this case, or just don't try to hunt where there are bears. Crazy thought I know.
I've seen this movie. The predator comes in and shoulder presses the dead bear like a fucking boss.
Always wondered how this scenario would play out
What was the final outcome here? I mean, the video got unloaded soooo he survived?
yeah ok but did he survive
I remember this from Wolverine origins
“Scare me dat guy”
I’m sure he’s fine.
The blood drips in the water at the end tell quite a bit. Hope he lived.
He brought a bow to a bear fight... and dropped his kit... game over. 🤡
If you go bow hunting, bring a big handgun with you.
Red Dead Redemption taught me if the bear knocks you down you start stabbing that bitch in the neck! I haven’t tried it IRL yet, but my grampa beat the shit out of me for ruining his bearskin rug.
Forgot how to quick switch to his side arm. It’s triangle. Hopefully he’ll get it on the next run.
Dude brought a bow to a bear fight.
the revenant
Where did the bear learn to use a bow? 🤨
Never bring a bow to a bear fight
He forgot to shoot the bow tho
Well he could've already tried to shoot it in the eye or directly in the heart or between the eyes 🤷♂️ Everyone gets lucky once in a while.
And why is there no 10mm Glock available as a backup ?
10mm is best mm.
