Can you outrun a bear?

[BigHunterification]

For those that think they might be able to outrun a bear, you better think again. In 2019, my cousin and I were lucky enough to capture this event on camera during our caribou hunt. It happened right next to our camp.
When I was younger, I hunted with a friend that felt he could outrun a bear by running down hill. I usually would just sit back, listen and say, "uh huh..." I've read books about how Native Americans would work together and run down antelope but never read anything about our ancestors running away from bears, only being mauled or killed. Such an interesting concept. Enjoy the video

Wow that's impressive. How far away was the bear when it first started to run towards the caribou? It must have been able to tell the caribou was injured from that far away.

You never want to be the slowest guy in camp.

I think I have seen this. Did you post it previously?

Since a Grizz can run up to 35MPH and goes from zero to fast after the first bound...... I'm looking/hoping for a tree!

Great footage. Thanks especially for no annoying music!

That is amazing. If I saw a bear, I’d go nuts

Just like scuba diving.. you don't have to outswim the shark, just your buddy

Lol. Well I never had the chance. But I think I would have more luck with the bear

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

Great video! Thanks for posting. I never figured their eyesight was that great, but it sure was zoomed in on that caribou from a long distance. Their strength is hard to comprehend, and too easy to underestimate!

 

[Cukleti]

Cool Video, thanks.

Sweet video man

I posted my Caribou hunt video in the "Caribou" forum which included about a 20 second segment of this video in it. Otherwise, I have shared it with friends/family who may have passed it on.

I've never had illusions of being able to out run a bear and that video definitely confirms it.

Their endurance and power are just scary.

Great footage!!

Impressive, thrilling and scary all at the same time! Thanks for sharing.

That’s one big locomotive that never ran out of steam. Would have never thought it had such endurance for such a massive animal. How far do you think he was at “full tilt” before bringing it down?

That was definitely worth the price of admission!! Great footage, thanks for sharing!!
