Hello Thaninator ever think of being a guide for griz . I know for a fact I would never turn my back on a grizzly that was only 10 feet from me unless I KNEW it was either dead or had a full belly. I have no experience with grizzly but I do know from the discover channel etc that they can cover allot of real-estate fast . I was just assuming that you had 00 buck shoot in the shoot gun to deture him . I wouldnt think you would have much of a chance with slugs and only being 10 feet from the bruin.
