Charged by a black bear sow - did I make her charge?

[Where's Bruce?]

You got lucky and it worked out. Me...I would have fired my pistol into the ground before she was 5 yards away to turn her but then, I carry a sidearm 24/7 so it's always right there. If you guys had taken the shot on that cub, that could have turned real ugly real fast. Whew.
