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

In any case, that's scary stuff and I'm glad you made it out ok.
