Black bear joins Alec in treestand

[Jonim40]

They don't have very good eyesight, so he should have talked sooner. Not yelled. A louder but calm voice would have scared him away. They don't like unfamiliar sounds. Scaring him like that, could have gotten them both hurt.

[RedNecked717]

i think he has fleas lol

[themagicdragon2011]

aw man , you shoulda waited 'til he got to the top!

[BKajun06]

Props man, jesus christ, I'd have shit dripping down my fucking leg rofl.

[FuckinGumba]

LOL. Respect. I wonder what i would have done in his position.

[humandead100]

by the sound of his breathe i take it as he needs a clean pair of underware!!!!

[ecchibanzaii]

@humandead100 I have some he can use though they are kinda dirty since they are shareware.

[31u]

Great video,Glad your ok! black bears are very fast tree climber ,could have been up there in 4 secs or less.get some bear pepper spray for your safety.be safe take care

[GazooQuato]

Aww...poor black winnie the pooh just wanted to get in the honey tree u were in and get some food,and too find piglet

[TheHmongvajgurl]

[meaningfulrice]

[RoscoeBa]

Did you slip and lose your balance for a second there...?

[KeskinTRS]

I envy you dude, what a magnificent encounter

[DieToW1n]

AWHWHAWHA Oh my God. Lol

[aznnaughtyboiz99]

Bear love hunters..

[MaineShag55]

Last Day & Who shows up and stops to dig around right beneath you ?

Musta been Fun walking out from your 'stand at the end of THAT Day !

Thanks for sharing ! ! !

You're a Good & Responsible Hunter, and...... One With Balls !

[Lotum4n]

I alway to a shit at the bottom of the tree so that the bear knows what's going to be in his food if he decides to climb the tree and eat me.

[420HighAllTheTime420]

lol u were scared shitless, id have been too lol... Great video

[meinLiebsterFeind]

You're supposed to let the bear know you're there man... It didn't see you until it was right up on you.

[woody71130]

I dont think alecs tighty whiteys made it home that night

[MissWooHoo1]

[qwasd0r]

HHWRARWWARRH!

[iam1inamil]

[thechucknorsK]

wow dude you were shakin. but not in a bad way...

[garysmith24]

Did you have to throw your underwear away?!?!?!?

[xacdcx7]

yep, he left a loaf in his underwear

[thsparky1]

my black lab rottweiler mix looks like a bear hes big fat and walks just like that scared the shit out my friend

[CapTainBuckAHOE]

that bear was fuckin fast

[richlitwin]

That was friggin AWESOME.

[Tatooinedragracer]

The hunting magazine editors and authors have to appeasse all of their gun, ammo, guiding services, etc. advertisers who pay money to have ads put hunting magazines. These editors and authors don't want to lose that money, so they go and write articles about animal over population to appease all those advertisers. Readers believe the hype, buy all the latest guns and gear and go out and kill bears. Politicians in bear hunting states allow spring hunts because they get incentives as well.

[90redrider]

@Factotem100 HAHAHA thats some funny shit

[skeazle]

I think you scared him just as much as he scared you! Nice vid....

[auitane]

They're exactly like big dogs. He looks like an overgrown black lab when he's scratching with his back leg like that.

[WarriorNerdz]

0:45 holy crap, I thought you were really close to the ground, so I started freaking out. xD

[KevinArcade]

Lol you are a hunter and a pussy? Wtf.

[20byrd]

wow.... yer dumb

[WarriorNerdz]

@20byrd What was he suppose to do, jump down and run off, failing his arms and screaming? Nah, thats a wonderful idea. I'll remember that next time, pfft. >>'

[BlackBearsLove]

Leave him da fuck alone!

[robair9911]

nice battle cry. 

[shipofthesun]

Very good raw film. I like how you let the bear be the bear, until it was little too close. Patience is rewarded.

[scooterss2112]

i am thinking that that bear had no idea you were there. I mean you are all camouflaged and all.

[SequoiaCheyenne]

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"  LOL

[STI4Life06]

i want to pet it

[hamidious]

beautiful animals. Black bears are really timid creatures that shouldn't be feared, that's what the experts say.

[HickfromtheSticks]

Nice video you let that bear get closer then I do when I hunt I wouldn't let it near my stand I love how people on here comment "yea a bear would never hurt you there just cute and cuddly creatures" Screw that. Great video thanks.

[BlackBearsLove]

You see how TRUSTING they are of you? LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE PUSSIES!

[JackKangaroo1]

What's with all the heavy breathing?  The bear was more afraid of you than you were of him. I've been close to black bears in the woods in upstate NY. You yell at them and they run away. If you have a dog with you they run from the dog. It's not a big deal. They avoid people if they can.

[benfranklinwasapimp]

awesome man. great video.

[FLINTER1740]

Awsome video!!! Some of the "informed" comments are probably coming from folks that have never seen a bear in the wild. I don't care how harmless they are "statistically" - it is a different feeling when it actually happens, I know from first hand experience how it gets you going.

[d0gm34t]

lol ur a bit of a pussy mate, it hardly got into the treestand...

[d0gm34t]

the bears like scratching, and then its like "hey whats that in the tree"

[ADMIND3R]

wow i love how u sound all traumatized after that

[edwdixon5]

You're supposed to say in a calm relaxed voice, "Hey, what are you doing there?"

[Nouseeker]

in bear world, its always human season

[jadejesus2003]

I'd be checking my pants.

[amd828]

They really are just curious... black bears are the least threatening...

[greytimberwolfpup]

Bear goes back to its family and says: Theres a human in our forest this morning.

moma bear:well dont eat it you dont know where its been

daddy bear:dont feed the humans, there not pets.

lol.

[m3gro]

thanks for not shooting him

[KattReen]

Lol holy crap indeed. Great video though.

[azatrox]

Way to keep your cool and not freak out and shoot it.  You're a better man than these guys who say they would have shot it.

[antiacus]

ROFL!!! That was hysterical.

2:07 was when he either smelled the snack in your pocket or the breakfast on your breath.

3:06 was when he realized you were human and ran for his poor life.

That was great, thanks for sharing. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile.

[timjseg]

dude if a bear gets 5 feet from me im blasting it i dont care what im hunting

[BowHunterSDK]

Cool video. Nobody ever gets to see that!

[moxlotus08]

i would have smoked that thing in the mouth haha

[geocachelinda]

What an exciting adventure, no one would of believed it if you didn't have the video for proof!

[mgracia22]

You scared the poor thing clear out of sight LOL.

[Seawolf1090]

I'd be the same way if that happened to me in my stand, and all I had to hand was a 'pointy stick'! My buddy and I were discussing earlier in the season what we'd do if this happened. Black Bears are protected in Florida - if you shoot one, you'd better have PROOF it was attacking you! Else, you're in Deep Doodoo.....

[raptorman120]

And that, ladies and gentalmen, is why I carry in addition to my bow, a Ruger 40.

[murfy6661]

aawww look how fast he bolts away. i would've been shitting myself

[PrivateIsland656]

Great composure and video even after scaring him - I was nervous just watching it and to all you douches that talk shit about this guy, I would like to see your pants after something like this. See how fast that bear runs? it would chase you down and eat you up if it wanted to.

[hackamore]

They don't see well, do they?

[mattelito14]

i think ur reaction was retarded.

hahaha :D

[GenericUth]

Nice! That was awesome. You shoulda yelled..."RAR Mutha *ucka!"

[joeyc5446]

wuss

[ingofreak]

@joeyc5446 yeah, the bear can only tear his face off with a single blow and not to mention it can run faster then him.

[tkazokas]

i bet the bear was more scared than you :)

[tigerm48]

i would have pissed my pants and started shooting like crazy as soon as that got anywhere near me! you got balls man

[JCDameano]

wow that bear hauled ass outta there!!!! big brass ones sir. fuck the dos equis guy, you the man

[scared2mosh]

you only had a bow and arrow on ya? that would be scary

[Roffe192]

...Adrenalin

[bahimaduck]

This video was uploaded on my birthday, awesome.

[HyPn0TiCz1]

2:00 was his jizz in my pants face

[deytukrjabz]

when i saw the title "bear joins alec." I thought it was going to be a video about friendship.

[InfoUplink]

lmao you got scurred

[oOiTzOwNeROo]

Black bears arent scary this dudes just a pussy

[90redrider]

@oOiTzOwNeROo You must be a tough guy...

[oOiTzOwNeROo]

@90redrider Im guessing you took 8 months to come up with that.

[LegendaryMotives]

lol that bear was like NOPE

[sindon007]

rooowr!.oh my god

[FakePlasticShrimp]

@CapnJ1mmy yes but the indians were in america before the enligsh people colonized it, look what happened to them...

[fakespotter]

your voice was shaking

[nowak43]

I wonder who was more scared? ;)

[FOGoticus]

Hmm that was weird.

[WasteBasketx]

HOLY  CWAP!

[lizardizzle]

boy, is it odd seeing my first name pop up on a related video...

[FakePlasticShrimp]

I would keep a sawn off shotgun with me, AND bear mace... I hope you had both of these. Maybe I'm being too extreme I mean blinding it then shooting it IDK. I'm English and would not trust one of these motherfuckers to not rip my throat out. I would shoot them and eat them. Wonder what bear burger tastes like lol

[zeppelinfromled]

@FakePlasticShrimp It's not typically legal to carry a gun while hunting during archery season, so carry that shotgun would be a bad idea. Most black bears without cubs will just run away if you make some noise anyway.

[nakedsupermodel]

ahahaha your reaction was hilarious at the end. bear was scared as hell!

[farfle10]

"holy cwap"

[xacdcx7]

@farfle10 lmfao

[youtubasoarus]

Yeah i'd probably have pooped myself.

[lfsabch]

jus tmake noise, they run away, plus your armed, no need to be afraid

[MrRollandMartin]

how was it walking out in the dark after that ! Nice Tree Stand !

[silentfades]

you carry bear spray with you ? I know you were bow hunting but do you have a gun with you as well ? hats off to you - what an expirience.

[williammeridith]

i would just let him climb up and hunt with me

[myRincon]

@williammeridith LMFAO the image im getting is fantastic

[davidsquall351]

DAMN, Awesome footage. I bet the adrenaline was pumping.

[Annasavi]

*GOLP* i prolly would wee me knickers .. he prolly sleeps up there when your not using it and then was all like EeeK HUMAN !!! and run off OR ! hes gone to get his mates and your about to be raped hehehe AWESOME video !

[kencan98]

You got some balls dude. In season or out of season, if a bear tries to climb into my stand hes getting a Muzzy between the eyes

[Altonmcc]

Funniest video I've seen this week. LMFAO!

[MrBoatsnhoes69]

stop being so scared ur shaking the camera haha jk

[hobbyguy217]

a little scared lol

[BowtechBandit]

What do you think he thought when a tree yelled at him? It must have been like Lord of the Rings!!! Too cool!

[oNancyk]

lol, that was so cool! you are so lucky to have had that experience! only thing that would have made it better would be if it was a mother bear and a couple cubs!

[aburgheim]

Alec i live in alaska and was calling for moose and in comes a big brown bear sneaking up from behind ....... i was on the ground..... so anyhow i was laughing so hard watching your bear come in and thinking when is he (alec) going to shout when iiisssssssssss hhhhheeeeee going to shout!??

Hahahaha man you did well!!

Repect! A true outdoor adventure!!

Oh and chris090883 y suck big time for your unsportmans like advice!!! Big time!!

[Chris090883]

No one would of had to of known you took it down lol, this is what you do, take down the bear put it in the road next to your car, put some blood on your car, call the cops, then just tell the cop you took it down with your car and you were wondering if you could take the remains home.

[bvgpsupt]

Holy cwap?

[darkendblu]

lol i was breathing like you last night but i wasn't in a tree stand

[kbt229]

LOL! Exciting! Brian E. ...a friend and member of our camp over by Whipple Dam (IBC) sent us a link to your video! The camera was shaking a bit there at the end and love the shot of you at the end! LOL Thanks for posting and good luck in upcoming hunt!

[alecjwink]

no i was only after the whitetail bucks and its not bear season anyhow

[myRincon]

@alecjwink it should never be bear season, but anywho nice tree stand

[gldys45]

@alecjwink who would want to shoot a bear?! wtf?

[jsnyski]

@gldys45 because they are yummy, peta much?

[AnonymousRaver]

@alecjwink I'm pretty sure if they are threatening your life, you have the right to blow them in half.
