So, I was inside my tiny wooden shack in Northern Canada, when suddenly
A WILD BLACK BEAR APPEARS!
He was a pretty small one, probably only a year old. He might have smelled the salmon dinner I ate last night. Still, I shat some bricks, because I don't have a gun, and I couldn't tell if it's mother was snooping around.
I tried to scare him off with an airhorn, but he didn't get the message. So, naturally, I threw a rock at it. He ran off, but I've seen him around the house twice since….
tl;dr: I tangled with a bear.

I'm adding you to the "Manly Men" thread right now….
Are you sure it wasn't Bear Gryllis wearing bear skin?
You should have distracted him with some piss.
You threw a rock at it…. Even though it was young and wasn't showing any signs of violence.

Young or not, you want a bear to be far away from you. Besides, scaring it away would ensure that he wouldn't have to use lethal force if it DID show signs of violence.
If a bear learns an area is a source of food, they keep coming back to the area. I had to teach it that my house is not edible.
Also me. I am not edible.
A wild bear appears!
MDFification used airhorn!
It's not very effective.
MDFification uses rock!
It's super effective!
The wild bear fainted!

Well, that is a good point. Besides, I guess even a small bear is tough enough to take a rock to the ribs and not really care.

I hardly think the bear was going to attack you. In fact, you're lucky throwing the rock didn't provoke him into attacking you.
Just be warned, because in Soviet Russia, bear attacks YOU!!!
Bears already attack you Vulcan.
