Last  saturday me and a few friends were walking to go see this creepy ass house that i take everyone to see at night in newhampshire becuase it geeks them all out and i tell them creepy things when we are walking there. So i was telling them stuff that wasnt true when all of a sudden i found myself in a boy who cried wolf situation. I saw a mother black bear roaming around with her cub in the river and i said HOLY SHIT A BEAR! as i proceded to shine the light on me my friends didnt believe me. the river was about 50 yards away ( not including the deep downhill slant and they were wading in the middle) so my frineds were still like nahh stoppp.. Then all of a sudden mama bear just takes off out of the river towards us my friends immediatly saw this leaving us in a total run for our lives dipset situation. We ran up the hill ( me being the smart one kind of shuffling backwards with the flashlight so i could keep my eyes on it) and got out of distance of the bear that was now standing in the middle of the street. The thing is I guess that some weird shit happened with the moon that made them come out like that into peoples yards. Truly a ballsy story

I threw half a watermelon at a black bear named Steve in my back yard. I think he got pissed because he lingered around my hard for a month and whenever I tried to go on my morning bike ride he would be waiting for me.

asshole.

one night last spring i slept over at my ex's house and the dog started flippin a shit at like 8 in the morning. i was sleeping and woke up to go downstairs to let the dog out. the stairs feed right into the front hall and i saw the dog freakin at something outside. i turn the corner to see a HUGE ass black bear with its nose PRESSED UP AGAINST THE WINDOW, ACTUALLY TOUCHING IT. i flipped out and went to grab a camera and wake my girl up and when i came back it was chillin in the driveway.

ive seen the bear a couple times since then, but that freaked me the fuck out.

a few summers ago there was a guy who lived like a mile up the road from my house had the better half of his sled dog team eaten by a grizzly.

when i was 16 or 17 i went on a rafting trip on the of the rivers that is on the wildlife refuge m father works on. we went up there with one of his good friends who is a camera guy for 60 minutes and we were filming for a video of the refuge. during the caribou migration, it was amazing, we were in the middle it for a week and saw probably 60,000 caribou and things that eat caribou. from the river one day we saw a huge grizzly bear grazing like 300 yards away so we pulled off and ran up the banks so we could film it. the bear was down wind from us and as soon as he smelled us he just stood up eyeballed us and then ever so slowly started walking towards us but would stop and act like he was grazing. he got within 50 yards and disappeared in a little ravine that was at the bottom of the hill. my dad has dealt with alot of bears and was already back in the rafts telling us to get back so we grabbed the camera and mic and ran down the embankment to the rafts and pushed off and when i turned back around the bear was standing right where we were like 20 seconds earlier.

ha a couple years ago i was riding my bike down the street and out of nowhere i saw a bear running down the street the opposite way of me, it scared the fuck out of me, i live in a kinda mountainy place, but you never ever see bears, there just arent that many around here at all, and that was the first one ive ever seen. i thought i was gonna die, but it just ran right past me, then like 10 seconds later this suv came haulling ass down the street after the bear. i guess they had to shoot it, they couldnt capture it, and it was running down main streets and stuff, like past people outside of resturants eating, a movie theatre, neighborhoods, they had been chasing it for like 6 miles or something.

but yeah that was like the most random thing thats ever happened to me, just riding along on my bike and see a bear run past me like 20 feet away. it would be like a bear just walking around chilling in new york.

hah another time... i had just ridden in the back of a deawoo with 2 girls and all the gear for 6 hours. we rolled into girdwood for the Big Easy but had no place to stay so we poached the pavilion. i said fuck sleeping the car with you bitches and put my tent up. we had to wake up early and i was still tired and something kept pressing on my foot so i would move it and something would press on it again so i figured it was the two girls messing with me to get me up so i kicked it really hard because it grabbed my foot and yelled at them. i heard the car door slam and then they one of them started saying some hurtful things like get the fuck out of here you fucking piece of shit. i felt really bad so i got up to deal with her and when i stepped out of the tent she started screaming to get in the car. i was still tired as shit and got in and she told me that she was yelling at a black bear that was inspecting my tent. i didnt believe her at all and thought she was playing me but when i got out to look sure enough there was a muddy ass paw print with some holes in the tent. i wouldnt have stayed there if i saw all the garbage laying around but it was really dark when we rolled in the night before...,,

never try to run from a bear up a hill, their back legs are longer so they can run uphill super fast but they fail going down

i was mountain biking once and this fucking massive bear ran right in front of me, i almost hit the thing. it smelled like shit and if i hadn't braked hard i would've fucking railed it

Seen bears twice at Mammoth, which is pretty incredible considering I've been up there a total of maybe 15 or 20 days my whole life.

One time was a full size one digging thru another cabin's trash and then just walked off.

Another time a waiter at the lodge told us there were a couple cubs wondering around without a mama bear and sure enough a little bear cub stumbled right up almost onto our porch, hung around for half a minute and them went about its way.

And one time I saw a coyote I swear was the size of a wolf.

i was riding up at whistler last summer on Schleyer i think it was? cant remember. anyway, mam bear and three cubs just so happen to be chilling on the trail as im coming down, now i have no way to stop where i am so i decided to just book it through right behind them and hope not to get pawed. as i get past the mama reaches out and catches my rear. i thought i was done but somehow i held on and got to the bottom safely. one of the most terrifying moments of my life.
