I am looking for a copy (vhs/dvd/bootleg) of a television show that aired a couple months ago about Bear Haven in Alaska. The guy started feeding black bears and then the Browns showed up. During the interview a bear takes a swipe at the guy and he ends up swatting the bear. It was a great show that I have saved on vhs, but accidentally recorded over the other day. If anyone has a copy I would gladly pay shipping to get it.

Here are a couple links to articles about the guy.

Thanks.

I thought it was on the Discovery Channel, but the only info online about him was with 60 minutes.

Well I called the Discovery Channel Store and he didn't fnd anything. He gave me another phone # to call but havn't done it yet.

Sent 60 minutes an E-mail asking who aired the show and where I might get a copy. Still waiting for a reply.

Fixing to call that other #

This guy is off his friggin nut. I would likely p*ss myself just being that close to ONE bear, let alone 27. I'm glad the ol' boy found his niche in life, but he is crazy as a sh*thouse rat.

I assume you are talking about a different video than the one in the third link...

Here is a quote from the second link,
"Richard Terry is an English cameraman making a television series on Charlie’s life for Animal Planet and has been documenting all the action at ‘Bear Haven’ for the past month."

Yes, it is different. It aired over the summer.

Willy- Check the Anchorage Daily News, (www.adn.com) I remember an article of a guy that lived up the Yenta River a ways, anyhow the story fits with what they aired about him. He had a mix of browns and blacks coming every day, put electric wire around his house to keep them out of there but otherwise they were relatively friendly to him and family. It was about the same time aired as that moron Timothy Treadwell movie came out. Problem was they aired it on local tv and showed basically whyere it was at on the map and did an aerial fly over also. My understanding he had several hunters awaiting near his property for feeding times to arrive.

Thanks. I will check it out.
I know the guy was facing legal trouble over the feeding.

Just got off the phone with the Discovery Channel and they tried to look it up and nothing came up about "Bear Haven in Alaska" being forsale. She also said that it shows in the records that they didn't finnish filming it until Nov 16th. It take 6 months to a year for post production. Which make me think you didn't see the entire thing and that they may have a longer show getting ready to come out. Or they might have added some footage to it.

Also if you go to the animal plannet website you can see the schedual for up coming shows. The lady thought it was a month in advance but I didn't check to varify. I would kep an eye open for it to re air. Than maybe you can re record it!

You may want to Google "The man who lived with bears". This may be what you are looking for...

I will say this, (other than he is pushing his luck with them) that I agree about his quote near the end, "shall I die in a nursing home wearing a diaper or work in an office till I am 70?". Cant blame him for that logic...It will be too bad when one of these bears decides its his territory now, not a humans.

Nice try guys, but that is not it.

rasbo · « **Reply #17 on:** December 08, 2008, 05:45:00 PM »

I saw that video also, past my past is haunting me.Im prettysure it was animal planet

billythekidrock · « **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2008, 06:58:04 PM »

Not Animal Planet as I do not have that channel. I am pretty sure it was 60 Minutes.

WonkyWapiti · « **Reply #19 on:** December 09, 2008, 01:32:47 AM »

It was on 60 minutes this summer. Very interesting show. The guy was a knucklehead but not quite as crazy as Timothy Treadwell. I still think he was nuts but it was a pretty neat show.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2008, 02:10:52 AM »

BTKR I thought you said it was on the Discovery Channel?

billythekidrock · « **Reply #21 on:** December 09, 2008, 06:23:49 AM »

The more I thought about it, I realized that it would have aired more then once on Discovery.

Bearhunter · « **Reply #22 on:** December 12, 2008, 12:04:52 PM »

I watched the same show on sixty minutes earlier this year. It was about a man that is an ex school teacher who used to hunt bears, then he gave it up bought a cabin out in BFE and spends months out there every year living and learning with the bears. He has been warned about feeding the bears and other illegal actions that he should not be doing. I also remember that there were some certain guestions that he would not answer. It was a very interesting show. In fact one of the big black bears actually came into his cabin while he was there and he made it leave. The guy has some huge balls and little brain I suppose. It would be interesting to visit him at his cabin and experience the interaction the the bears. Wanna make a trip up there billy!!!!
