9) climb a tree?
10) make the CORRECT SHOT PLACEMENT?????????? w/a .357(min),.44 mag(better), .454 (better-er), .460(me likey), .500 pistole(insane).
please look up the very scientific chart "where to shoot a bear" and you will be AMAZED at how small of a window of opportunity you have to hit his vitals and drop him before he tears you a new ARSE!
gives a 360 degree chart on shot placement from every angle and some of the angles are just flat poor % of dropping them before they nail ya.
and this angle, a frontal (4) feet on the ground charge has to be about the worst chance of getting off effective shots.
i stare at my chart every damn time i go into bear country and study it for memory.

Keep staring. You need all the "study time" for sure.
Alaskan and Canadian Native people drop these and bigger bears all the time with pip-squeak rounds like the .32-40 Winchester, .38-55 Winchester, .25-35 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, and .32 Winchester Special.
They seem to have very little problem doing this. The death and injury from bears is not very high and that is from a population that lives side by side with them.
Do you have any idea what the smallest caliber used in a frontal one shot kill on a charging Grizzly Bear was?
Making these animals into something they are not, is just boastful crowing. Your example of the multiple hit by a .300 mag is nothing more than poor shooting. Remember having a weapon and being able to use it efficently are two distinctly different issues.
