Those would be 3 bear cubs to stay away from, seeing that a Grizzly can run 50 yards in about 3 seconds.You probably wouldn't have time to shoulder & shoot.

You wouldn't want to shoot a mama with three cubs.

I wouldn't want to shoot a mama with no cubs, but people have found themselves in that situation.Brown bear country is seldome safe.

I used to do a lot of backpacking in bear country. Always wear bear bells on your boots and carry an air horn.

A guy's going on a hiking vacation through the mountains out west. Before
setting off into the boonies, he stops into a small general store to get
some supplies.

After picking out the rest of his provisions, he asks the old store owner,
"Say mister, I'm going hiking up in the mountains, and I was wondering;
do you have any bears around here?"

"Yup," replies the owner.

"What kind?" asks the hiker.

"Well, we got black bears and we got grizzlies," he replies.

"I see," says the hiker. "Do you have any of those bear bells?"

"What do you mean?" asks the store owner.

"You know," replies the hiker, "those little tinkle-bells that people wear
in bear country to warn the bears that they are coming, so they don't
surprise the bears and get attacked."

"Oh yeah," replies the owner. "They're over there," he says, pointing to
a shelf on the other side of the store. The hiker selects a couple of
the bells and and takes them to the counter to pay for them.

"Tell me something, mister," the hiker inquires, "how can you tell when
you're in bear territory, anyway?"

"By the scat," the old fellow replies, ringing up the hiker's purchases.

"Well, um, how can I tell if it's grizzly territory or black bear territory?"
the hiker asks.

"By the scat," the store owner replies.

"Well, what's the difference?" asks the hiker. "I mean, what's different
between grizzly scat and black bear scat?"

"The stuff that's in it," replies the store owner.

Getting a little frustrated, the hiker asks, "OK, so what's in grizzly bear
scat that isn't in black bear scat?" he asks, an impatient tone in his voice.


"Bear bells," replies the old man as he hands the hiker his purchases.

Fire crackers would probably work great but if I have a bear coming at me I probably wouldn't be able to get it lit. LOL!

Same here ... If a grizzly was charging at me .. I'd probably faint and then sheet myself -- or vise versa ---- LOL

A conversation:what would you do if a grizzly was after you?
Answer:I would throw poop in his eyes.
Question:Where do you find the poop?
Answer:Don't worry...it will be readily available.
