Steely Eyes..:)
IF This was MY original post..I'd have had a REM 1100..or maybe a CZ in .375 H&H..:)...AND a good knife ..:)

Historically, there have been more than a few grizzlies kilt with good knives in the hands of strong & desperate men I'm told..and a few men who have survived serious grizzly attacks also.
The rest who encountered a sow w/cubs were lost to the historical archives..:(..

A good knife( bayonet) would not be my personal 1st choice but ANY weapon is better than none I suppose..:) Jim
