Grizzlies are known to be pretty aggressive. I have had a black bear act like he wanted to climb the tree my deer stand and I were in. Let me tell you, if he had actually pulled himself off the ground, he would have been dead when he touched it again. Black bears are little things compared to grizzlies, and Ive seen the damage they can do to things you would think they could scratch. Unbelievably strong.

Personally, I wouldnt hunt bear as I dont care to hunt predators, but I would shoot one that threatened me in a heartbeat.
