BEST DEFENSE FOR A SUDDEN BEAR ATTACK

[Kanewpadle]

I used to do the same with a 12ga at the Russian River, Copper River, Yentna, and many others. But the Russian was the worst.

Walking in the forest you suddenly and unexpected come face to face with a really mad and hungry Grizzly Bear.
What is your best defense?

For Jimmy it would be His freshly soiled under garment.

and this happens just when I had turned my life around. Oh well.

I'll get flamed for this but bear spray does work. A lot of people in bear county swear by it. Or you could give Yogie your picnic basket. That's what I would do.

I have heard bears hind legs are longer than their front ones. Run wide open down hill they tell me and the bear will lose control and skid out.

A few years ago, I was hunting Kodiak Island for Sitka blacktails. A Kodi called "J-lo" charged over the ridge with her two two-year olds in tow(@400lbs. ea.) about 30 minutes after we put 3 deer down. I also heard about running from a bear downhill. Watching her move WAY FASTER downhill than any of us are capable of..........I caution you to stand and shoot as calmly as you can and try to make them count. A big bear must be broken-down as much as killed. If he can move with one paw, he is coming for you............As for the surprise, Well.......hope for the best and pray as your body and mind do what it is going to do................

Don't think that would work. Last time I ran downhill I lost it and ended up resembling a large boulder in a landslide. I probably looked like I lost a fight with a bear when I reached bottom.

Large jar with some honey in the bottom might work....
