A B.C. filmmaker says he's lucky to be alive after narrowly avoiding a grizzly attack while filming in the Robson Valley, southeast of Prince George. Leon Lorenz, who lives in Dunster, B.C., was filming grizzly bears in a nearby valley last Monday evening when he spotted a bear and her cub.

Leon Lorenz fired a single gunshot into the air, scaring the grizzly bears away as they charged towards him.

I hope he also brought a change of underwear.

Great film but a question, how close did they get it looked like a telephoto lens was in use.

I thought there was only audio of the fatal attack on Treadwell and his girlfriend and I understand it was nevertheless very disturbing. It may have been destroyed out of respect if I remember correctly.

You’ll have to ask Werner Herzog about that.

As with any other situation, if I’m pulling the trigger it’s a kill shot - not a warning.

Eight years ago...

Maybe it took eight years off his life lol?

Doctor thinks he can outsmart a pair of griz, no cubs in sight, lucky for him.

Shooting into the air sometimes helps, sometimes just pees them off even more.

Bring back the FEDERALLY MANDATED grizzly hunts...and beyond that leave them the hell alone.
