“I hear the, uh, a brown bear wolfed at me. And I turned, and the bear was on the other side of this stuff. I could see the toe profile, and it looked like a great big male. So I got squared up with it, got my arms up, and I just yelled, yelled at it so it knew I was human. And it paused And then it faced me, and then it came up off the ground on its hind legs, put its head back and gave a big roar.”

From the transcript
So I had set up my snares in this area, and I was just walking back, and I got to right about here, and I hear the, uh, a brown bear wolfed at me. And I turned, and the bear was on the other side of this stuff. I could see the toe profile, and it looked like a great big male. So I got squared up with it, got my arms up, and I just yelled, yelled at it so it knew I was human. And it paused And then it faced me, and then it came up off the ground on its hind legs, put its head back and gave a big roar.
