I got charged by a sow with 2 cubs.
« on: September 12, 2010, 06:47:37 PM »
Anyone ever been charged by a bear? I was yesterday! I heard something down in the brush so I went down thinking it was a deer and nope...wrong! There it was.  A bear less then 50 yrds away. Bad thing was a sow with cubs and then it bluff charged me and stopped under 40 yards while I was backing up.  The bear turned and went into the brush and I hauled ass back up the mountain where my dad was laughing at me.  I told him it wasn't funny and he said it was now because I was still alive.

I was deer hunting, and no luck. Shot 2 Blue grouse with my bow though.

I do like his end theory.   
Did you learn anything from the altercation......(like pack a clean fresh pair back at the truck at all times)

great shooting

When ever I see a bear they always run but it was probably because she had the cubs she bluff charged
Marines do it better
