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. Lorenz said he took cover behind a spruce tree so he could film the bears without disturbing them, but the mother bear picked up his scent.

The filmmaker had a weapon? He couldn’t do that in the U.S. and expect to work again in the industry.

Was the bear using MasterCard or Visa?

The next scene was going to be Mr Lorenz having to change his drawers.

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

Wow, he did not have time for a second shot. If that hadn’t scared them away, his video would have showed a very different ending.

[Flintlock]

He had a...........GUN???

..........an............EVIL............GUN!!????!!

Good thing this worked.

Wow, he did not have time for a second shot.

IMHO, he waited way too long to fire the first shot.

[TheNext]

He could have hugged the bear, while displaying a Peace bumper sticker.

Yep, way too long.

[laplata]

Lots of tree huggers/gun grabbers carry when they’re out like that.

[BradyLS]

Was the bear charged with assault?

Now, what possibly could go wrong here?

What we saw on the video. Lol

[Nifster]

What an idiot

Wish the bear would have gotten him

[Born to Conserve]

It amazing because with his huge claws he had major trouble inputting his PIN on that small keypad, yet he managed to do so!

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah. He shoulda called 911.

“Hey, Siri. There’s a bear coming at me. Call 91-YEEAAAGGHH!!!!”

“Boop-boop! I’m sorry. There is no number that matches your request.”
