I've heard the only thing you can do is act big and they might go away. Try to make noise in the first place and that way you don't scare them. If you are attacked, play dead. But like you said, if you shoot, make sure you aim! I'm glad John Shorter was ok. Its a tough situation…Just last year a local kid was pulled out of his tent and killed by a bear.

I hear about these episodes and it makes me want to get pepperspray or something. Especially since I bring my kids with me!

What about climbing a tree? Nope, they’re better climbers than they are runners. Jumping in a river/lake? Actually most of them swim better than they climb." I remember Marty Stouffer did something on bears in his show "Wild America". Feel sorry for Shorter though, doesn't sound like fun, but I guess 40 stitches isn't as bad as it could be. “We explained that you can’t outrun a bear because they’re pretty fast.
