I wonder if that guy had really any real understanding about bears. Charging there like that to bear with cubs..... sometimes when there is no instant danger it is good idea to call to officials and experts. At least in my country they come immediately to place where something like this is going on. Safer to people and animals to let the experts handle this kind of situations.

I agree, he should of handled it differently but he did say this 


"What are your choices? You leave a bear in the yard who thinks it owns your yard … and then your kids go out there?" Michalchuk told the national broadcaster. "By leaving them on the property, you're playing Russian roulette, and I'm not doing that with my kids or my family."

So Michalchuk got all dressed up in his nicest, brightest orange vest, grabbed his shotgun, loaded ‘er up with the good buckshot, slipped on some crocs and went out to confront the bear—here is where the video (which was shot by his wife and has over 200,000 views) picks up. He shot once in the air and, in the write up underneath the video, said that the bear then charged him. So he ran back into the house and the sow and her cubs started to leave the yard.

“I took that as a sign of submission, so I went outside again and when she got 65 yards away, I shot in the air again to keep pushing her along,” reads the write up. “After that shot, the sow turned around and looked at me.”

After he slammed the door he said she turned and sped off with her cubs. Michalchuk said that he tracked the bear and it wasn’t bleeding. “I know she’ll be sore,” he wrote, “but she’ll now think twice about approaching people.”

Yes, I read that article. It is clear, that bears have to be removed there and if nothing else helps, shot. But this guy should have stayed calm and think before doing anything. Too many accidents and dangerous situations are caused simply by fact, that many people act first and think then, when opposite order in actions would lead to much better results to everyone. This guy was in the house, when he noticed bears, no need to rush out there like a madman :) Everyone should know that mamas in every species defend their cubs furiously if feeling threatened. If I say what I really think, it is, that in this video I saw plain stupidity. Reply
