This could have also been a mama with cubs not to far away. If your ever yelling at a bear and they just kind of linger around or they act like they aren't to sure what to do...it could mean she is simply giving you 30 seconds to get your arse out of there.
I've also heard that bears are becoming less and less intimidated by noise and yelling.

im glad you guys and gals like the video. and YES, time will be wasted due to the exorbitant amount of AT stuff on youtube!
and it is true that bear are adapting just like humans in becoming more used to being yelled and screamed at; they dont always run away.
now, ive seen see a lot of bear ass, running in the opposite direction. ive also had bear hang around Pocosin Cabin one time while renting. i hope it will be the only time i have to lob rocks at/near the bears to get them to leave.
i wonder of the Appalachian Black Bear's behavior in say the next ten years?
will they become so used to ppl that it will endanger their lives?
let us discuss this prospect...

That was hilarious. BEEEAAAARRRR! Never heard of that tactic yet, but I'd assume calling it's name isn't working, haha.
