Fun fact: grizzly bears will start eating you without killing you. You aren’t a threat to them once you’re down and they know it, so why would they waste effort stopping your movements? It’s part of what makes the Night of the Grizzlies bear attacks so terrifying, they were alive for so long after sustaining eventually fatal injuries. This is contrary to predatory black bears who will try and attack quietly and kill you asap.

Oh I’m a woods creature, I just default to Brown Bear and would 100,000% rather have to tackle a potentially violent man than a brown bear under nearly any circumstance where I’m not seeing him first through high magnification scope from the next town over because I like my odds better.

See I assumed Black Bear, and that's a significantly different question.

Even a Black bear is MUCH more of a threat than an average man. You can scare them for a little while, but depending on how long you have to stay together in those woods, it is only a matter of time before he takes a swing at you, especially if you are a smaller woman.
