and looks like the grizz was wounded in left front paw too

Yes, he is clearly favoring it.

I didn’t notice that at first. Maybe that why he backed off and didn’t move as fast as he could have.

Notice the bear stopped the charge when the ranger got behind the truck. If the truck hadn’t been there, that bear would have put it in high gear, lowered it’s head, and mowed him down.

Wow, you are right. The bear lost the Ranger after he hid behind the truck. The bear looks around like he is lost. I think you are right that a charge would have come without the truck breaking the bear’s momentum.
