In 1976 I was moose hunting with a friend in Alaska and this subject came up. I said that I would just shoot him in the leg and while he was lying on the ground bleeding I would make my escape. I laughed, he laughed, but strangely he never walked in front again the whole rest of the hunt.

Kid of like walking downtown after dark.

ONEGUY…that strategy might backfire. Your injured buddy on the ground would no longer be a threat to the grizzly. You, on the other hand, running away might be perceived as the threat and you can’t out run a grizzly.
