Joe Rogan | Adam Greentree on Dealing with Bears and Wolves

Most talked about that like every I got calls from all my friend Bert Kreischer was fucking obsessed with you He wouldn't stop calling me about it. He's like the fucking guys by himself The video with him with the grizzly bear and he's pointing the gun at it Jesus Christ The fucking weirdest thing is it's that's normal shit. It is that's very normal Yes society so removed from it now Well, if you're out there, it's normal to get false charge by a grizzly bear Yeah, you're living with nature Yeah, one good reason not fucking be out there I was talking with Kim about this we hiked into the back of Montana to the spot That's usually got a bunch of grizzly bears that I go to and we're talking about you How you won't come out to Australia hunting to just get at everything The difference is when you're walking around the mountains here It can happen at any point because fucking grizzly bears have got feet they walk on land in Australia You pretty much have to go into the water So you're only worried about that when you go to collect water or you're thinking about having a wash or something here It's full-time for whatever reason It doesn't bother me as much to get killed and eaten by a bear Then it does a giant saltwater croc. It's sure I reckon the crocodile would be nicer. What? Yeah, it'd be nicer. It's like grab you drag you down you'd drowned anyway You know and then it would do what it wants with you a grizzly bears gonna fucking maul You scratch your face off bite your neck take chunks out of you. It's gonna be longer dude. Yeah, but it's American We don't want no foreign shit Fucking no fun is eating me There's something about Grizzly bears that's most terrifying things that they just eat you they don't kill you first to just hold you down Yeah, eating you yeah, they treat you the same way they treat a salmon, you know You see them hold down salmon and they take big bites out They don't make sure they kill it. There's no nice thought behind it You know, it's like yeah, I'll finish it off first and then no did you see the mountain lion that I end up hunting? Yeah, yeah, and like mountain lions usually kill their prey But obviously grabbed the calf and it was eating this calf while it was still alive like a beef cow calf Yeah, I saw the video that pretty disturbing and then I seen one not long ago Someone shared with me with a mountain lion dragon a mule deer down It's like chomping on this mule deer before it actually dies, you know, and it's like there's just not that thought process there There's not that human. No, as long as they make sure that they have it as a meal and it's not going anywhere They're just done. Yeah. Yeah, well, it's not a thing Some friends were elk hunting and they came across this elk who these wolves had torn the back legs apart and Were it was in the river and the wolves were eating it while it was in the river and the thing was moaning and screaming It couldn't go anywhere. Yes bull elk. Yeah in the in the water And they just pretty pretty horrible for us, but you know Standard for them. Yeah Have you encountered any wolves when you're out there? Yeah plenty of times Yeah, the first time I went to Canada was Northwest Territories And there was a pack of wolves that they were chasing a caribou bull and they pretty much chased this thing to like a Lava or sweat, you know like the this is in winter So the bull the caribou bull got really hot and they chased it into the freezing cold river and they sort of surrounded it in The river and then they just left it and they walked off, you know, and it wasn't that they were walking away from their kill They knew the job was done The wolves went back up high and they got onto these rocky benches and sat in the Sun and were like drying out Theirselves and cool them down and drying out this caribou never left the river It was like just quivering in the river and then that afternoon when we come back that caribou was just a carcass We've like flesh hanging off the ribs on the side of the river So they come back down once the river had done its job and I Smart as hell. That's that's really crazy that that intelligent that they know it's over like okay. He's in the water Yeah, we can chill now dry off. Yeah. Yeah, that is banana. Yeah crazy They're so wise people that I know that have seen them in the forest say they look at you a different way Yeah, they look at you. There's a way they look through you. They look at you in a way like almost like they think that that's the reason why that the Myth of the werewolf exists. Mmm, is that people that have these terrifying encounters with wolves? They swear that it's part human Yeah, cuz like peas and into you. Yeah, they're looking into you. They're figuring you out, you know You got to think what it would be like if you're just out there, you know If you're lucky live five years old, you know, you get this hard scrabble life out there chasing Much larger animals than you and you got to kill them with your face. Yeah Make it happen or die. Yeah crazy I had a pack of like 30 wolves this last trip that I was in BC and they kept coming around camp We had horses and that in camp and One day I ventured out to try and get on to them and get a better look at them and they just without seeing me They just kept this perfect range, you know, like that how back to me I was trying to call them in I was howling that how back to me and I just keep this perfect range and you could tell The whole time they'll communicate because it there'd be another war for a couple of wolves I were like a couple of miles in the other direction and you could hear them moving the same pattern that the rest of these wolves were and I've got eyes on them from a distance. I walked across a nice lake and Other than that, I never really seen them But I guarantee you those wolves looked at me a bunch of times like they're just a different hunter, dude Yeah, they're just trying to figure out what what they can do with you. Yeah, so it's such a eerie feeling too so it's like snow and it's like way in the back country of British Columbia and Like I'm going up on these mountains It's like big pine trees and everything like that and just every direction around your howling dude You'd hear him howling you'd hear him do it sounds like a bark It's not it's like this short howl and then every now and then you'd hear one howl different and you could tell that that was the Alpha, oh, there's the sound that it was letting out dude is like eerie awesome place to be if you're in the nature like Crazy place to be if you're not in into nature fucking Like yeah
