Swinging from it's mouth. Once you do all that, you incite it's prey drive. Think about it, a Grizzy standing up on it's hind legs looking down at a human waving it's arms and stomping around...
Best case you spook it, worst case your tail is becoming a snack real quick.

Probably the best case is stick near tree lines, and climb a very stout tree.

There is an account of a game warden who went to investigate a elk carcass, and the grizzly came running down at her. She played dead, he bit her a couple times, and she hid her face...the grizzly left.
She stifled it's prey drive.

Or, you can do this.
There is an account of a man in Alaska who came from a bar...he stumbled home drunk, and laid in the dirt/snow. He awoke the next day, and there were all these bear tracks around him. He apparently attributes him not being attacked and eaten due to all the baked beans he ate and the resulting gas...(this is if I remember the story right).
The secret antidote to bear attacks - stanky ass farts :D

At least you went down swinging.

Playing dead is the equivalent of looking at the third strike.

This is your best option:



That 12 ga isn't gonna do shit against a full sized grizz. You'd be better off putting the barrel in your mouth and ending the pain. Those fuckers need something big, hard and fast NO HOMO. A .458 minimum.

Bart The Bear, Alaskan Kodiak


Bart was most likely domesticated and trained as a cub, though. C'mon, Parker.

Stand tall, even if the bear charges you. If the bear sees you and is closer than 300 feet, or if the bear is approaching you, remain calm and try to look as large as possible. Stand your ground and try not to look frightened. Try to back away slowly—do not run—and speak softly. If the bear continues to approach as you back away, stop and stand your ground. Speak more loudly in a deep, calm voice, and wave you arms to make yourself look bigger. Keep an eye on the bear, but avoid direct eye contact, this can be interpreted as a challenge by the bear. Do not be aggressive, but do not crouch down, play dead or otherwise show fear or vulnerability. If the bear charges you, muster all your courage and stay where you are: the charge is most likely a bluff, and if you stand your ground the bear will turn away.

The local black bears here are skittish as hell, saw a lap dog yap one up a tree. The mountain lions are the ones you gotta watch out for. Had no idea how big those fuckers were 'til I ran into one. They'll stalk the shit outta you.

I have seen a grizzly in a zoo in Köln Germany and that thing is massive. I think my head would fit easily in his mouth.

A 12 gauge is no good against a grizz- ?

You don't know too much about firearms then my friend- ?

You talking a single shot ?

.458 mag ?

30-06 is plenty if shot placement is correct, if you have to turn and just shoot..... then diff story, but a 12 gauge with slugs or a 30-06 is going to take down pretty much anything on the planet - not everything, but close.... again it's shot placement friend

Also try not to shit yourself while attempting to do all of this

You don't have to outrun the grizzly, you just have to not be the slowest person in your group.

I did a remote fishing trip in north Ontario this summer. The guides weapon of choice for grizzly protection was a 12 gauge.

No grizzlies in Ontario but there are polar bears if you get up to Churchill.  Plenty of black bears and they are plenty dangerous.  I remember three guys were killed in Algonquin park at the same time by a black bear many moons ago.
