I agree never run... at least not until after you throw $#!t in his eyes......and believe me turn around and look down and you will see a fresh hot steaming pile of $#!t that you can throw!

Yes ! I agree never run from a bear ,just walk slowly till he's a way's back and never take your eye's off the bugger .Most black bear's will run from you unless your a threat ,to her young one's .
I've seen many bear's while moose hunting and they generally will run from you if you surprise them.

Give the guy a break. He said he walked off slowly at first. Remember bears can't see very well. So before we jump on him, we should learn how far he walked slowly away before running. If he walked a 100 yards before running the bear probably didn't even see him.

I can't say for sure how I would react if I saw a bear in the wil because I have never seen one up close. I am sure I would be scared but I think I would be to scared to turn my back on him. I would probably shoot in the air to run him off if he was really close and then if he didn't leave I would put another shell in and keep the gun pointed at thim incase I had to shoot him or her.

Why take your saftey off because you hear something. Shouldint you identify your target before. And then you started shooting and you didint even know what the rustling sound was. Let me know if your ever hunting in northwest pa, Im gonna get out of the woods.

That what you get for using all those dampeners! I get nervous myself when I hunt in the mountains. i've gotten a couple pics on my gamecam of bears in the 4-500 lbs range and it is pretty thick with mountain laurels. I don't like surprises!e]
