you and your friends vs. a grizzly

No of course not.

You could have 80 friends and, without weapons, could not kill an angry grizzly.

You and eight of your friends, completely unarmed, versus your average, angry grizzly bear. No weapons. Can you beat the grizzly?

No.

let me know how it goes then i'll try.

Yeah, looking back on it this was a little farfetched.

Maybe more realistic: the 10 meanest motherf***ers on the planet against a grizzly, no weapons. I'm thinking if some 400 pound roid-raging bodybuilder could punch or kick the bear as hard as he could, it might be enough to crack its skull.

Keep in mind that these bears are like a thousand pounds, can run 30 mph, and cannot be knocked unconscious.

I think this "caveat" here answers the question...

A 'bad-ass' outdoorsman in Alaska used to enjoy showing off to clients he led on wilderness expeditions. When a grizzly bear would confront him he would pick up a branch or whatever was handy and wave it around as well as yell and scream bloody murder and the grizzly would actually lose interest in this and walk or run away.

But one time he pissed off the wrong grizzly bear.

The bear took one swipe with his paw and swept the guy's head clean off. It bounced away like a soccer ball.

An NFL football team wouldn't want to tangle with a completely pissed off grizzly bear. Nor would a room full of cheetahs.

a group of four of your friends vs. a grizzly and there wouldn't be any fight at all. Grizzlies are intimidated by groups. There has never been an grizzly bear attack on a group of 4 or more people

Send in your weakest two friends. Let the bear rip them apart. The remaing stronger six of you take their limbs and whack the bear with the limbs and use the limbs as weapons while one of you try to kick the bear in the balls.

what if its a female bear?

That's more realistic? You can shoot your gun at a grizzly and not even slow it down. You think a punch or kick is going to faze a 1500-pound grizzly?

Someone on my team once asked me how many 5 year olds I could kill at one time if I could use some of the 5 year olds as weapons. I thought at least 100.

I just got back from Alaska... They had a stuffed bear in a case at the mall...

10'6" long and 1900 lbs.

It had a hole in the chest that looked like they shot it with .50 cal.

I wouldn't want that running at me and my friends even if we were armed!

You underestimate yourself. If you are in a fight to the death with an infinate number of 5-year-olds, an normal 5'10", 155 pound man ought to be able to hold his own until complete and total exhaustion. Assuming that they are coming in an uncoordinate mass, as maybe a rate of 10 per minute, I'd think that you could achieve an easy kill rate of that 10-12 per minute and maintain it for several hours. If you are a bigger person, I'd think that you could kill them quickly enough to start to fashion a fortress of dead bodies at some point and maybe get enough rest to last indefinately.

Now, to answer the OP: change my answer above. Instead of "you" it's "1800 lb. bear with razor-freaking-claws" and instead of "5-year-olds" it's "you and your unarmed friends".

What if the bear was in a large warehouse with all kinds of beams and ropes, etc hanging from the ceiling. Then the bear had to fight off 4 highly trained ninjas.

Oh and there was very poor lighting in this warehouse.

Or

What if the bear was in a roon in 5 feet of water and there was a tiger shark swimming around..who would win?

Bear. (Assuming, again, that the ninjas are unarmed)

and

Bear. (Maybe, I think that's a close one.)

Better hypo, Grizzly v. infinite number of 5-year-olds. I think the Grizzly would die of old age.

Mas Oyama was said to have fought bulls unarmed and supposedly beat them rather easily. He might have a chance at a bear.

A big grizz has 6-8 inch claws. I don't think so.

Are you, in any miniscule, remote way, comparing the fighting ability of a bull with a grizzly?
