I also wondered why the hunter tossed the pistol and didn't shoot. But I have been charged twice by coastal Alaskan brown bears and the immediate reaction is to flee despite knowing that's often not the best thing.

Yesterday I read of several recent bear attacks in AK, MT, and WY. It's a reminder to be prepared and always watch your six. It's easy to become somewhat tunnel visioned while hunting, watching forward and to the sides but not behind. I have worked to train myself to frequently look back but it's not a natural instinct.
