I am back from my elk hunt and had a not so great bear encounter I was packing the 40 S&W the morning it happened and I carried that the rest of the trip and you can read about the encounter and hunt here. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-hunting-fishing/274288-2014-elk-hunt.html
All I am going to say after this hunt is bears like people have their own personality and there is no standard way they act they act how they want to and it is their world out in the mountains we are just living in it. We had another encounter two days later with a different bear that was in the parking lot of the trail head and was much much larger than the bear in the linked post and that bear caught our scent and ran off like a he had seen a ghost.
