I know nothing of bear charges, but it appears a quick thinking revver saved the day.

Cubs/Den nearby..? Scary stuff for sure, AND per usual likely no one armed.

Lets go out into the woods where big bears frequent. Nah... Leave the guns at home. We won't need them...

I guess so, but it would of been a more interesting video if the bear had beat some of them up, not too badly, just abit.

Bear charges are FAR more frequent than one in a billion.
They happen numerous times a year.

Although seldom seen, these guys are out there and need thousands of calories/day. You are just a snack and tennis shoes and bear spray are not the solution...

I have no sympathy for any moron(s) tearing up the woods and land with machines of any kind just for the fun of it. If they all get eaten, that's fine with me.

I don't and I don't care. Little punks outa
show some respect regardless.
Or do you consider this "living in harmony with wildlife"?
Notice comments are turned-off on video? $20 says
they knew the bear was there , and decided to get their YouTube moment with GoPros.
I hope the Wildlife Dept guys can track this down and arrest their punk asses for harassment.

More than those but actual real charges are dang rare.
Bluff stuff that scares folks happens often enough with moose and bears.
