From a bear safety page:

If a bear approaches you:

Stand your ground!

Quickly assess the situation. Is the bear behaving defensively or in some other way?

Remain calm, attacks are rare.

Do not run unless you’re absolutely sure of reaching safety.

Group together. Prepare your deterrent



If the bear is approaching in a defensive manner:

Stand your ground. Try to appear non-threatening.

Don’t shout at the bear. Talk to the bear in a calm voice.

If the bear stops its approach, increase your distance.

If the bear resumes its approach, stand your ground, keep talking calmly, and prepare to use your deterrent.

If the bear cannot be deterred and is intent on attack, fall to the ground as close to contact as possible and play dead.

When the attack stops, remain still and wait for the bear to leave. If an attack is prolonged or the bear starts eating you, it is no longer being defensive.

If all else fails, SHOOT to kill!!!! Of course that assumes you have a LARGE weapon!!!

Like I said. The problem is when they bluff with a charge. If you fall when they were only bluffing it basicly says "I'm an easy kill"[?]
