as a person from ohio whose thing is also bears, i just love this story.

i think this might be one of my favorite videos on this site now

Lovely story, great video. I'm a big fan of John's work, and this was so pleasant to listen to despite only being 3 minutes. Thanks for the upload :)

Oh Orel, make me proud and tell me you shot that bear yourself. [contemplative pause] No, dad. YOU killed it.

Rare footage of John wearing shoes on an interview.

I love this !!

Those are some crazy fat bears on the Alligator River, they gorge themselves in the soybean fields near by. Fun times. Drive out there at dusk if you're ever in the area.

Great story, great colors, but that shaky cam is hard to handle

God created that bear

This is why you should always carry a rifle and bear tag!
