[QUOTE="Paparock, post: 1525557, member: 106235"] A grizzly can out run a quarter horse over short distances and while a grizzly can't climb trees like a black bear they can climb trees somewhat like a human can by draping their paws over big limbs and pulling themselves up. They also push over weak trees that you may be in or other trees into the one you are in. You will be amazed what a determined grizzly will do to get at you and they are smart. If you hide under things you will be shocked at their digging ability. Bear spray actually works better on Grizzlies than it does on black bears although no one has come up with the definitive answer as to why as far as I know. Playing dead seems to work with grizzlies better also. If you try playing dead when a [I][U]male black bear[/U][/I] attacks you then you will not be playing long as records show they mostly intend to eat you. Another reason I say you need to read and learn bear behavior so you know when to fight and when not to. Very few people can hold a handgun still enough while a bear charges you to make an effective kill shot so they are usually taken while the bear is on you. I personally highly recommend: James Gary Shelton's three books regarding bear attacks and how to survive them as the most comprehensive body of work ever written on this subject. I know the first thing I would do is pee my pants.:( [/QUOTE]
