My friends and I were talking about this the other night. The question was...what is the minimum amount of human beings (no foreign objects permitted) it would take to knock out/kill a full grown grizzly bear?

We added that the people involved could not be any skilled fighters; such as UFC combatants, martial artists, wrestlers or boxers. It would have to be people that you know personally.

My one friend said three. I think he is psychotic and it would undoubtedly take much more than three.

I'd say it's fucking impossible for unarmed people to have a chance unless there were hundreds of them that just wore him down over the course of hours.

They can also run up to 35 mph and one swift paw shot could easily kill you.

Haha...I was looking on wikipedia and they had this selection on "in case of bear attacks":

if the bear advances upon you, it can be difficult to evade. Bears can run much faster than humans. Running will trigger the bear's instinct to chase. Most charges are false threats, so the best way to avoid or halt a charge is to hold your ground and make yourself look as big as possible. If attacked curl into the fetal position and protect the head. When the bear has finished batting you around and mauling you, contact the US Forest Service.

a full cup of piss down that fuckers throat and I'd say 3 or 4 could take it while it's sorting out the piss cup.

ah wait... you said no forign objects. hmmmm.... well, I'm sure one of the people involved would no doubt shit his pants, so just take that and chuck it down his throat, or make a cup with your hands and piss in that.

:wink:

This is the thing...you'd have to have enough people to take the bear down first. Trying to come at it with punches, even from behind, would just be pointless. You'd have to have a number of people on each leg, each arm, his body and his head. If you can manage to take the bear down, then your best bet would be stomping the fuck out of him. All of this would be unbelievably difficult.

we should put together a scientific experiment to find out.

Any volunteers for the group of 15?

i think sending one person in as bait, and then attacking the bear from behind would be my strategy.
