If you happen to be a liberal, you can always stop a grizzly attack by rubbing them softly between the ears.

..the last known sighting of Timothy Treadwell.

[Billthedrill]

Treadwell got along fine with dozens of bears. It was only one or maybe two that ate him. So, call that a “qualified success.”

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Absolutely!

[Redbob]

With a grizzly, a .45 is scarcely sufficient unless the shot is very luckily placed.

There are numerous cases of .357 hits merely angering grizzlies, and a .44 magnum having 3 times the muzzle energy of the .45 ACP is the bare minimum to have in your hand if you want to fend off a grizzly.

[stormer]

The Grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilus) is a subspecies of the Eurasian Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) and for all intents and purposes the same animal. There are several subspecies, but basically the only thing that differentiates them is the region that they’re found in.

[Night Hides Not]

According to Josh Earnest, it’s not something to set your head on fire.

[stormer]

Not to mention it’s hard to shoot accurately when you’re shitting your pants.

You apparently have never come across a Grizzly in the tundra... All of the linemen carry .45s and .44s for a reason.

[Puppage]

If that bear was really attacking, he’d be running a whole lot faster than that....that looked like more of a playful hop.

[Flick Lives]

It’s darn deceiving that a beast as dangerous as a bear looks so cute and cuddly.

Too true. That and tigers. Is there an animal more handsome than a tiger? Just don't try and pet one.

[I want the USA back]

The “right way” is to be 1 mile away. Forget about this way.

[Calvin Locke]

You lie down with dogs, you can expect to get fleas.

You lie down with grizzly bears, you can expect to get eaten.

[Bobalu]

What's needed is a combination Bear Spray/Freon Horn/44 Magnum weapon.

[minnesota_bound]

That bear almost had a Swedish meatball....

[CommerceComet]

There is a high octane version formulated specifically for grizzly bears.

Better hope the wind is blowing the right way. A face full of that stuff would probably have the person begging the bear to put him out of his misery.

[Vigilanteman]

Yes, something like that. Though I would prefer to be a lot more than 35' from these beasts.

Polar bears as well. They are basically grizzly bears which have evolved to adapt to the arctic.

As they used to say, the only cub which isn't dangerous is the Chicago Cubs . . . and they are actually pretty good this year.

[EternalVigilance]

My method for not getting ate by a bear is 100% effective.

I simply stay out of bear country.

[stormer]

I actually grew up in northern British Columbia and have probably seen more bears than you have telephone poles.

[apocalypto]

Good advice.

You just might have. I have done time in Alaska and the norther territories in Washington and a bit in Canada. Seen plenty of Kodiaks but never had to draw on them.
