Just What The Hell is Bluff Charging

OK, let’s get the obvious question out the way at the start of this blog’s life.

Just what is bluff charging ?

Well, according to this website, bluff charging is :

“An interaction between a bear and a human where a bear charges toward the human, but stops short of the human or veers away before making physical contact. The bear’s behaviour is intended to intimidate, but not necessarily harm.”

How this relates to the content of this blog remains to be seen. ‘Cos, to be honest, sometimes, I’m going to be charging but not bluffing. I just liked the idea that a bear could have such a clear understand of the human psyche to be able to achieve it’s goals without having to cause any real harm.
