I actually thought about that before I posted John, but decided to go ahead with it. If my thread isn't appropriate for the forum, I apologise, and hope the Mods will delete it.

I respectively disagree. The antis reading this, if that's what concerns you, don't need our online conversations. They don't generally rely on truths but rather fabricate truth so nothing we say will hurt us for the most part. My opinion only.

I for one am glad this post was started.  I'm going bear hunting for the first time next week and am glad I am now aware of it.  It might have really freaked me out otherwise. So I thank you.

Wrong.
That would be quite an incorrect assumption.

I've killed 4 Bears and don't care to kill any more purely based on the Death moan.

I have had one cry like a man and the other three moan and cry like a child.

It's creepy and really troubling. I feel terrible for days after killing one it's almost haunting.

They also look just like a man after you skin them. No more for Me!

The Eskimos   at Barter Island AK say that that A BEARS death moan cry IS NOT CRYING but they are calling mother earth to replace them with a new bear and to have a good crop of berries waiting for them .

[GREASEMAN]

I guess that's a more positive way to view it Bowheadhunter.

But its still creepy to hear

[bowheadhunter]

yes agree we only shoot bears up here when they walk into villages and threaten dogs and people we don't sport hunt them here very much just for local village pot lashes (cook-outs)the ladies use the fur and the meat eaten/elders show the kids how to clean from hide to bone use  for flour paste for Eskimo Donuts,  ...

I guess maybe I'm a little weird. The death moan of a bear is a sound that I love. Even though I have only heard it once. I will remember it forever even if I never hear it again. It is part of what I love. Much like the bugle of a bull elk, or the call of the western Meadow Lark They are all part of my hunting life. From my youth til present. They are all a part of me. I wouldn't change a thing!

I've heard them squeel like a pig after being shot dead,they usually don't show that on the hunting channel.

[bowheadhunter]

death is just a part of life -A Hunters Story -we JUST PLAY A VERY SMALL PART IN,,We just need to respect each other and the animals we hunt ,,

Bear Lives Matter.


Sorry, couldn't help myself.  


Respect and revere nature.  Plain and simple.  The outdoors are the spice of life, along with children/parenthood.

Question, is this just black bears that are known to do this, or is it all bears?

[bowheadhunter]

Polar

[bowheadhunter]

polar bears yell and moan sound like a baby cow very loud,  sorry hit send key ...also up here brown bear kill polar bears ,polar bears run when they see brown bears walk up the beach at Barter Island AK,

I think as hunters, we may understand the cycle of life and death better than many people do, and I don't take it lightly.

The sound I heard on the day that I mentioned wasn't the death moan. I don't know for sure what it was, but it surprised me, and It's not something I care to hear again.

I wasn't my intention to open a big can of worms with this thread, but I appreciate all your replies. Thank you.
