@Trigger you missed the part in that article where they said it was fake news. Helluva campfire tale though.
 
I think 10 yards and that thing is in the muzzle.

15 yards maybe it will go off 5 feet away and that's good..

To soon like right away you see it you shoot.. you can still run away maybe.
Grizz runs at 35 MPH. Pretty sure you do not. I like grizz a little further away from me. Like maybe in the next state over.
 
I just remember how Merriwether Lewis’s first account of a grizzly bear was his description of killing one and saying that it was no wonder the Indians were afraid ‘armed, as they are, with bows or indifferent fusils… but a competent rifleman has nothing to fear…” And how his second account came after they wounded one that chased him for a mile and had to be shot repeatedly- “I had rather fight two Indians than one grizzly bear.”

I'd kinda want to have a dog with me out there.

I had a Walker coon hound. For a pet. He was smart. Even though I never hunted him, good dog smart dog. Don't know how we would do against a bear but that's the only buddy I'd think of.
Dogs have a disturbing tendency of bringing a bear directly back to the master, tail between his legs, bear hot on it's trail
 
So... think of it this way: Could you hit a turn signal on a vehicle coming at you at 35 miles an hour on a bouncy road? That's what you'd have to accomplish.

Anybody can hit a bear with a cloud of orange fog. And by the way, grizzlies rarely eat people.

I believe that is supported by facts. It is said that the best way to survive a grizzly attack is to play dead. As for me, my crying for mommy would surely show the bear that he still had more work to do.

It's also pretty well documented that if a black bear comes for you he intends to eat you so I suppose playing dead would just be advising the bear that dinner is ready.
 
a few years ago in our yard. we stayed inside for 5 hours and barricaded the glass doors!

Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to either Cruiser, the sound of my own skull crunching would cause me to wiggle around a bit I'm sure.

even at my age, I'd be squealing like a little girl.
when i had my misunderstanding with old A hole, I remember someone screeching for what seemed like a long time. only after I tripped over a log and snapped my leg that things got quiet. just a loud humming in my head.
 
Random thought..

If you were out there. You know grizzly wants to eat you.

Is running at you. You have One shot.

Do you take the 20 yard or so shot when you see the bear coming

Or

Hold it. Holding Hold it till that thing is the length of the gun away or closer.. like your going to powder burn that thing.

Could you Hold it.
I'll let you know once I get down from this tree!
