I seen this on another hunting forum.
Crazy to watch.
A friend of mine is a Dr in Alaska. Since he isn’t native he can’t hunt polar bears but his patients are native so they can.
He would tell me stories about them asking him to go with polar bear hunting.
They would cut tracks and circle up wind of the tracks then wait for the bear to come. Nothing like being the bait for your prey. lol

dang good he had that sled there!! 
Bring me my brown pants!
Bring me my brown pants!
No doubt!! 
so why does this remind me of the little skit of the bear and guy fighting at the creek over a salmon where the guy kicks the bear in the gonads!!!! 
sorry…..guess i;m not wired just right 
but yea thtas pretty scary stuff in real life!!!!!!
It looked like the polar bear just wanted to play to me. LOL
dang good he had that sled there!!
and it was running!!
Thank god he saw it coming – that was close.
Brown pants, brown underwear, brown socks, brown boots and brown snowmobile seat for sure. WE were just talking about polar bears attacking people last nite at dinner?! Creepy……
He just wanted to share a Coke with him… I wonder if the gun was empty ?
odd last week the #4 news had a weeks worth of segments/coverage on polar bears up by Churchill, of course it was all gloom and doon for the bears!!!

I bet he figured he was better off using two hands on the sled since he was fighting with the gun.
With a running sled that close and a FRIGGIN polar bear chasing me down I’ll take the sled any day. THe gun would have taken time he desperately needed and didn’t have and probably would have just pissed off an angry, adrenalin pumping beast anyway.
They must not be able or really don’t want to shoot them, because there were a few shots fired from a close distance and the polar bear didn’t seem to be harmed in anyway.
I suppose, I had not thought about that. Gun seems superfluous to me then. But I don’t have all the info.
Safe to say, glad it was not ME!

I would add Brown shirt to that from the geyser effect!! 
I don’t have my poop emoji to copy from here at work but that would have been the appropriate response 
Luckily the sled was pointing the direction it was and made for a good escape path. What if it had been facing the direction the bear was coming from and he had to drive towards it in order to turn around? Scary deal for sure.
this is where the homer simpson” du oh!” would go
