I have had them bluff charge me countless times when the cubs were by her side, but they usually stop in the last 30 feet. They have a strong sense of self preservation when they have cubs to care for. I would hate to kill a protective mother for no reason.
They also charge with their head high and weave side to side. They also don't run as fast as they are capable of. This is how I gage a bluff charge.
The ones I have had to dispatch all came at me low to the ground, head down, eyes looking up. And they ripped the vegetation around them as they clawed the ground for traction. All of them were also wounded and you can see the rage and vengeance in their eyes. Their intent is unmistakable.
It is by far, the scariest thing any human can live through.
Hey man, get you some of that spray and you will never hae to be scared again!
Hell. Your talking about it scares the crap out of me.
I remember when my Sons were very little, I would have recurring dreams about a hugh polar bear stalking us around a playground, and my desperate attempts to get away from it with my boys.
Nope. Them bears can keep their area. No problem.
