Six percent of people think they can beat a grizzly bear
Or somebody who looked like him but was taller, nastier, vicious, and bigger but didn't have his quick-healing factor?
I am a tall, large, strong man. I have actually killed a rat and a Goose(on accident/reflex) before without weaponry.
At one point a decade(ish) ago I would have liked my chances, but not been "sure", with an animal up to a large dog. That is the limit of it though.
Big, strong, quick humans, are weak and slow animals. Our advantage is supposed to be cognative... this survey shows it is obviously not for quite a few people.
Unarmed against a Grizzly bear? Adult ape? Nope. Totally doomed. If it was like the goose situation, where it was going for my kid, i would try to fight... but knowing I was only serving as a distraction, a very brief distraction. If no kids are involved, im trying to GTFO of there.
Firearms tip the scale... but I am not intentionally going after a Grizzly even if I have a gun.
The Grizzly folks should absolutley be the type red flag laws point out.
