Grizley Bear attacks, how dangerous is a sow and cubs, really?? Do I really need a gun?

Answer 1

No -- here are some common sense hints -- more at the site below.

• If possible, make plenty of noise on the trail, especially on blind curves, in dense vegetation or areas with limited vision.

• Be conscious of the wind - bears have an excellent sense of smell. If the wind is at your back, chances are a bear will smell you and leave the area well before you reach it. If the wind is blowing in your face, your chances of an encounter greatly increase. Also, in high wind situations or along creeks and streams, a bear might not hear you coming or you might not hear it.

• Bear cubs - If you see a bear cub, chances are the sow is not far away. Female bears will fiercely defend their young, so it is best you leave the area and find an alternative route.

If you really are afraid, either stay away, or possibly use a bear deterrant such as advertised there.

Answer 2

a grizzly bear would maul the life out of you if you went near her cubs. you don't need a gun if you stay away from the cubs and don't fondle them and such.

Answer 3

They are not going to come after you unless you get in between the mama and her babies. Then she would probably rip you to shreds. I'm just guessing she'd tear you up before you could shoot her even if you had a gun.

Answer 4

Putting yourself between any bear and her cubs can be deadly. Grizzes are no exception, they will do what they have to to protect their cubs.

Answer 5

Stay away from grizzly bears. A hungry one will regard you as food.

Answer 8
