378,

I don't think he led us to believe that it was a real charge.

I've seen a few grizzlies at full tilt, across broken ground, and all I can say is I'm sure glad they were heading away.

My defence would be to shoot for center of mass. If the first shot is not fatal, the best you could hope for, is to slow the bear up enough for a follow up shot(s).
