I'm sure it's pretty much common knowledge around here, but if you haven't got the memo: Mamma bear never takes too kindly to harassing her offspring, and she's usually within earshot at all times.

The incident is believed to have happened in June this year but the video only recently came to light.
The authenticity of the video cannot be immediately verified and there are claims circulating online that the story behind the video is fake.



If the story is legit, then I have no problem with the outcome. Carry a big boomstick and leave wild animals alone, or face the consequences.

Maybe they should have unleashed the furry of the AR-15. [panic]

Letting the dog continue charging the cub wasn't the smartest thing to do. Where there is a cub there is a Mamma.

This reminds me of watching the tourons at RMNP. They will walk right up to a calf and start taking pics. [Shake]

I understand not letting the dog mess with the cub, but what was the right course of action here?

Messin' with the cub definitely wasn't the best course. I couldn't tell what kind of structure they were in. If there was a place to retreat to or not.

I came across a black bear cub, driving home on evening. It was in the middle of the road, so I had to stop. First thing I did was roll the windows up and scan the forest for Momma bear. Sure enough, she was coming down a hill next to the road, fast. All of the sudden that piece of door glass didn't seem very secure. Scooted on by the cub and saw Momma bear hit the road in my rear view mirror.
