Caleb Jacques and his family own and operate the Grizzly Safaris in Iliamna, Alaska, where photographers go on excursions to see the huge population of brown bears.

The video, filmed during a group tour led by Jacques, was originally posted on their YouTube channel in February 2021, but has only now gone viral online.

In less than a day, the video has garnered over 53 views on Reddit after it was posted on the popular Next F *** ing Level subreddit.

“In this video, I lead a group that watches a female bear with spring cubs from a safe distance. But a bear appears and starts walking towards us, ”Jacques explained in the description.

“We tell the bear from the very beginning that we are here, and the bear approaches us with curiosity. At that moment, I remembered that I had lent my bear spray to our student guide, who had it in his coat pocket.

“We didn’t have bear spray. I made do with the two best bear-repelling tools available to me: my voice and my body,” he said.

He added that the bear seemed young and curious, and probably only spent a second summer away from his mother.

At first he seemed to flatter the bear, calling him "handsome", but at this time he loaded a pistol in his hand. As he approached, the man changed his tone. He told the bear "don't come any closer," but that had no effect.

Suddenly the man shouted loudly at the bear: "Gotcha". He flinched almost immediately, but did not stop completely.

When instructed, the entire group behind him raised their hands in the air, a popular method of repelling bears. The man continued to shout and even rushed at the bear, continuing to shout: "Get out of here."

“We are probably the first people he encountered on his own, which led to a confrontation that could be fatal for both the bear and us in a split second,” Jacques wrote.

It was the bear's youth that made Jacques regret that he did not have bear spray at hand, for the benefit of both him and the animal.

“If I had bear spray, I would have every right to spray it,” he wrote. “As a result, this could form a negative association with people, which for a young, curious bear like this could be a good thing.”

Impressed viewers praised Jacques for his reaction to this situation.

“He's the real boss who handled it in the best possible way,” wrote one user.

“This guy knew exactly what he was doing and how to deal with this situation,” added another.

“You're lucky,” one user commented. “Bears are no joke, no matter how armed you are, thank you for this video, you are a good guide and a brave person.”
