To the OP, I am glad you guys are okay. Sounds to me like you did everything right.
I read an article in an american hunting magazine a couple years ago that cited a study done by Alaska fish and game. They looked at all recorded bear encounters in Alaska and compared them to bear encounters resulting in bear attacks. They determined that a person carrying a firearm was something like 50% more likely to be attacked then someone not carrying a fire arm. As human beings our survival instincts probably change when we are packing heat.
