Interesting thread as I have been run off but not charged by Griz a few times in Cody while deer hunting. One bear ran by me so fast, almost literally knocking me down, and almost silently I would have been lucky to get a shot off if needed with my little BAR. That bear was in search of a gut pile and probably didn't care less about me. Shook me up enough that I'm loading 220 PTs this year instead of 200 Accubonds that I was considering in my 06. Scared the living crap out of me and my two partners saw the whole show and had toilet paper ready for me when I got back to the truck. They thought I was going to shoot but the bear never even looked at me. They are very fast animals. I'll be back there in two weeks.
