Bears are like people- they seem to all have different characters. One thing for sure the big grizzlies can run down a deer in less than a 100 yards. Deer can out pace horses and how fast can horses go at full gallop. Probably near 40 mile an hour or 19.5 yards in one second. Your reaction time would consume about 1-2 seconds, followed by turning,shouldering, finding your moving target, and then shooting. I beg to differ with your comment Sitka-no disrespect intended. If that grizz really wanted your ass- you wouldn't be telling the story about shooting a bear at 24 yards. He didn't know you were there or he was in a friendly mood.
