That’s correct. Many post will follow though lamenting the lack of firearms when in fact one must be well trained, steely nerved and practiced to hit a 12” target on a 300lb bear coming at you at 44ft per second.

Thats just the bear CUB.

Adult females range from about 300/350 - 750/800, and adult males can approach 1000lbs.

Well a grizzly of breeding size is no where near 300lbs more like 1,000. That said many bear attacks are stopped simply by the discharge of a firearm - hit or not.

Pissed off momma grizzlies are the most dangerous animal in North America after humans.

The critter can only go after one person at a time.
