What's the movie from a few years ago with the two guys surviving in Alaska after a plane crash? Fire-hardened spears against brown bears made a pretty good test. I think long strong spears would be better than bows. It's an interesting question.

A knife against a bear is at least potentially winnable. Daniel Boone did it, although it was a black bear, something that one could wrestle. To get behind the bear and hang on while trying to get the point into a neck artery would be the plan. A spear might work, too, since that is confusing to animals.

that movie had Anthony Hopkins and Puke Baldwin....Baldwin in collusion with Hopkins young wife tries to kill him but old Anthony is too wise.

The bear scenes are great....that is a big Brown.
