I got huffed at last night

[sled]

  Two Years Ago I Had That Happen.  The Bear Was No More Than Ten Yards Off The Road Huffing And Snorting, And Snapping HisJaws.  I Got So Worked Up I Was Shaking Waiting To See Him Through An Opening In Reprod.  It Was Starting To Get Dark But I Had A Good Opening To Look Through.  This Went On For About Three Minutes Then He Moved Away Slowly.  I Never Saw Him.  I Went Back The Next Day And Made My Way Off The Road.  To My Sunrise There Was A Drop Off Through The Trees About 8 Feet Deep.  He Was Closer Than I Thought, I Was Just Looking Over The Top Of Him Through The opening.  Nothing Like That Existence.

Yea 2 springs ago ran into one that had a just nailed a fawn (fawn was still alive....Bawling). The Bear charged me, and stopped about 3ft from me. I had tripped, and was on one foot, and one hand screaming at him. He turned around and ran back to the fawn. I jumped up on a stump, and was yelling at him while he stood on his hind feet snapping his teeth. This went on for about 10 minutes, me yelling at him, and him running around in front of me snapping his teeth. He finally got about 30ft from me, and thats when I jumped off the stump, and started back pedaling down the road.    Scared the crap out of me ....I was making noises I didn't know I could make 
 I didn't have a gun, or spray, and if he really wanted to get me, neither would have done me any good.

  I had a similar thing, bear stood up in front of me.  he was trapped and making a getaway but I was there.  Confused and not backing down after about 30 seconds I shot.  Bears avoid us but really are dangerous and not as scared as some think they are.  When stressed a black bear will attack I think.  Creepy when they stand and look at ya eye level at 25ft.

I've had many treed bears do it,  Momma bear when I was too close or violating her and her cubs space, several times, when I accidentally got between a male and female during breeding season while horseback, startleing one that didn't know I was there, and when I got attacked.   Very distinctive sound.

Anybody else ever have a bear huff or pop it's jaws at you?

Yup, and after my first time hearing it, there is no mistaking it for anything else.

Whoa....did you say you were attacked before? Please do tell the story if you wouldn't mind. I'm especially interested as to why the bear attacked. In any case, that's scary stuff and I'm glad you made it out ok.

There is a thread about it on here somewhere.  Essentially it was a boar that had been in a fight, and I think he smelled or sensed another bear and all he saw was "red". In other words I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.   When I got back to my truck there was another bear up on my truck scratching the hood. He probably smelled that bear.  I'll see if I can find the link.

Wow! Thanks for posting that link. That's an adrenaline packed story.

[boneaddict]

There are a couple good ones in there.  Looks like I need to add that horse story to that thread. 

[steeliedrew]

I'd like to hear that one involving a mule and a 9mm.
