Alaska – This week, a Michigan man, who was hunting along the upper East Fork Indian River outside of Glennallen, was mauled by a mother bear who was with her three cubs. According to a release from the Alaska State Troopers, the man was able to fend off the angry sow with bear spray.
According to the release, Alaska Wildlife Troopers received the report on the evening of Sept. 6. The agency said:
Nicholas Kuperus, age 33 of Michigan, and his hunting partners surprised a sow grizzly bear with three cubs. Kuperus was attacked by the sow and received serious puncture wounds to his arms but was able to deter and stop the attack using bear spray.
A State aircraft (PA-18 Super Cub) was dispatched to the area and was able to land on a nearby ridgetop. The man was transported to an ambulance in Glennallen. No other injuries were reported.
Poor babies, this human POS got what he deserved.
Too bad the bear didn’t finish him off ! These ripple suck !
These people suck!
That’s what the Hunter deserved! Hunting bears when they have babies means the babies will die! What’s the matter with these people ? Shame on Alaska for allowing bear hunting. Hope more hunters get the same
I DISLIKE HUNTING FOR THE PURPOSE OF KILLING MOTHERS WITH POSSIBLE BABIES AND THEN THE BABIES DIE WITHOUT THEIR MOMS……
LMAO! Don’t want to be attacked by a wild bear stay out of their house trying to kill them!
I mean, he was a hunter. Not enough happened to him, he should’ve been killed. We don’t need this walking trash around us (and by us, I mean wildlife too). Any “person” who makes survival harder for innocents is using oxygen they don’t deserve.
Only sorry the bastard wasn’t permanently ENDED.
I feel no sympathy for him. If people can kill animals why should it be not OK for them to do the same especially when one is protecting her cubs? I agree with everything that was said here so no need to say more.
I understand the anger, but I didn’t see anything that says they were bear hunting. They’re usually deer hunters. I will not eat venison or any other meat obtained by hunting but I do watch a reality show that focuses on several families that do hunt for subsistence food and I think that’s an appropriate way to feed themselves. Where I live there are game ranches that raise whitetail and offer “hunts” to “hunters”…… I think that’s horrible and wish the fish n game dept would put a stop to sport hunting.
I concur with you Carol
Since when do Hunters KILL for “subsisence food?” — BULLSHIT! — that’s a poor excuse for KILLING — Hunters LIKE to KILL — STOP with cruel, hateful HUNTING — they do NOTHING for the Animals or the Planet — they manage to SNUFF OUT the life from Animals — this is a BAD thing – an EVIL thing — how about
Hunters STOP KILLING — How about the “Hunters” find another pastime & leave the Animals alone!
Hunters are nothing short of brain dead idiots. Stay out of the bear’s territory! He got what he deserved.
I will be more than pissed-off if I hear that these bears were euthanized because of this incident. Humans are such scum.
HUNTER GOT WHAT HE DESERVED!
Yay, sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted!
It’s a pity that beautiful bears don’t know how to use guns – she could have shot him with his own gun and then shoved it up his arse. Well done mama bear ❤️
Karma!!!
Too bad the POS wasnt killed by the mamma bear…no sympathy whatsoever for hunters. LEAVE THE WILDLIFE ALONE!!!
STAY HOME YOU USELESS TOXIC MASCULINITY WASTE! KILL YOURSELF NOT OTHERS!
Good for mother bear! I hate hunters! ALL of them! How can anyone have a passion to kill? OMG sick arrogance!
Nicholas Kuperus, age 33 of Michigan got what he deserved and if he didn’t have man-made bear spray he would not have survived. Wanna be a man? Hunt just like an animal = no weapons!! Just you and the opponent. Hunters are not fighting fair. I just don’t respect the sport because it’s not a sport when you have weapons and your opponents don’t.
STOP with cruel, hateful HUNTING — Hunters do NOTHING for the Animals or the Planet — they manage to SNUFF OUT the life from Animals — this is a BAD thing – an EVIL thing — how about SNUFFING OUT this unconscionably cruel hobby of killing Animals? — for the love of God, Hunters MUST get another pastime.
Well too bad she didn’t take him and his murdering buddies down. Leave the bears alone you have no right searching for them in order to murder them you sorry bastards!!
All hunters are evil bloodthirsty psychopaths!! So sorry that this ugly coward survived! He belongs in hell!!!
No mention of the Mom — whether she & Babies are ok — Thank YOU to Hunter for NOT KILLING Bears — REMEMBER — Hunters are invading Mom’s turf — her Family’s home (for centuries) — their natural habitat — ALSO : STOP with cruel, hateful HUNTING — you do NOTHING for the Animals or the Planet — you manage to SNUFF OUT the life from Animals — this is a BAD thing – an EVIL thing — how about SNUFFING OUT this unconscionably cruel hobby of killing Animals — for the love of God, get another pastime.
