All yearling cubs, black or grizzlies become food for scavengers if they live long enough to starve, or food for other bears, coyotes or wolves most likely. 2 year olds light survive, if there weren't any preditors around - fat chance as the their father probably roaming around inside 2 to 4 square miles and they're merely a food item.

Quote: IMO, and that of others.. A pistol should have a very short barrel if used for bears.
5 for the bear and save one for your self. The shorter the barrel will make it faster getting it in your mouth after that.
Yep, and the pistol should have no front sight so it doesn't hurt so much when the bear inserts it in a place more commonly associated with sitting down.

Having been in the situation with an aggressive grizzly 30 feet away and my rifle being 100 feet away while I was fly fishing, I feel a lot more comfortable these days with my Springfield LongSlide in 45 Super on my hip. Still swimming the rapids on the South Fork of the Flathead in the Bob Marshall was invigorating ...
