    " ..hey Jamie pull up that video of that old man who got attacked by a bear while out picking huckleberries"
  • @thecityman1910
    Well, he saved his own life with a gun, so we know we won't be seeing this on CNN
  • I just want to know what caliber and round 😂
  • "Why do you need to carry a gun with you all the time" Because i dont want to die while picking huckleberries...
  • @astormyday1313
    Bear didn’t want to be in the woods with the man either. It lost it’s life😢
  • 🐻Those are the Bears 🫐huckleberries😨
  • Yeah picking huckleberries when you were a kid watching out for bears to attack was so much fun! Kinda reminds of of walking around eastern Oregon with the rattlesnakes.
  • @MypersonalURL
    When the random man in the woods didn't pick the bear. Shame a women was not there to appreciate the bear.
  • @mikejohn0088
    He killed a Grizzly with a pistol? Must have been a S&W model 500 - fired once killed the bear and broke his wrist.
  • He was stealing the grizzly bears berries these reporters need to start telling the truth.
  • A gun saved him 🤔 Man is still top predator 👍
