Ramos was filming the encounter when his air horn malfunctioned and succeeded only in getting the bear's attention instead of scaring it away.
The man ended up running into his home when the bear charged at him.
"I really wasn't frightened, but it was like 'Whoa!' To me it was like a mock charge, probably to scare me off or whatever, I don't know if I would have continued if I stayed here but I didn't wait," Ramos told ABC News.
Ramos might have had more success scaring the bear if he had tried using bottle rockets.
