I've been doing some reading on what is the best way to handle a Bear attack. Most of it makes sense, but when it comes to Black Bear vs Grizzly the recommendations differ.
For instance:
If attacked (charged) by a Black Bear (no firearm or bear spray) the common advice is to make as much noise as possible as Black Bears tend to back down if they feel you are a bigger threat then they. If that does not work and contact is eminent then fight for your life, kick, punch, claw, gouge, bite... what ever it takes to make him think your a formidable foe and back down.
If attacked by a Grizzly (no firearm or bear spray). Play dead... simply put if the Grizzly thinks your dead and no longer a threat they might leave. This i think would especially be true if it was a Sow with cubs as this would not be a predatory attack but a defensive attack. On the other hand, a boar Grizzly who thinks you might be good to eat would be a predatory attack.
So do you play dead or fight back in that situation?

Playing dead is not an option for me, i cant even think about that one. Most probable the bear will kill me anyways. If i absolutely have to and have no weapons or spray, i would punch the bear in his nose, his most vulnerable part, who knows? Maybe he leaves, lmao. Or i would wrestle the bear down and pin him 1, 2, 3. Fight over.

Ha ha ha. I would have to try to keep they fight standing up, to box the bear, the bear would of course try to wrestle me down, i would have to avoid going to the ground. I would punch the bear and the bear would laugh in my face, he would say “thats all you have human? Lmao.
How about you Tom?

It would be a toss up between the figure 4 leg lock (submission hold) or the sleeper hold and and make him go night night.
Seriously, I think I would still try playing dead, at least at first. If that wasn't working I might as well go down swinging, what would I have to lose.

If its a grizzly, if there is time, I scurry up a tree. If not enough time, I go into the feral position ( keeping my face covered ) and play dead. And give a silent prayer. If its a black bear, forget the tree. Make noise; be loud. If I have a jacket or something I can wave while screaming - good. No sure ending either way.

Again, ever heard of locking up with the polar bear? Or maybe punch him in the face? Or ground and pounding the bear? Or doing an RKO out of nowhere? 1,2,3, its over.

I just thought of a very good one! If its a female grizzly bear, and she has her cubs around, i would just run straight to the cubs and grab one, and threaten him to leave or i take the cub! How about this idea?

How about this idea? Kodiak, you want to see what happens when you mess with little cubs when momma bear is around? Watch this video clip from the movie "The Revenent". Starts at around 23 seconds in.
