Oh, yeah. As soon as I heard aspen trees snapping as something large was quickly moving in my direction I knew I just been knocked down the food chain by a few pegs. My rifle was useless under those circumstances. Even with headlamp and flash lights, I never did see the thing. That year, Colorado had a high number of bear incidents. The way that bear came towards me reminded me of the stories I heard about Grizzlies.
And what's even better is that I'm now living up here in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, which is serious Grizzly country. Don't think I'm even just going for a hike out into the woods without a hand cannon. I upgraded my XD .45 to .460 Rowland.
