The last time I checked protocols for encountering a sow grizzly with cubs in the backcountry it did not include yelling at the bear.

Let’s see you get surprised by a grizzly bear and see how quick you think on your feet. There are too many bleeding hearts out there that think that people shouldn’t be able to defend yourself when attacked by a bear. My advice to you is go out and hug one and see what happens otherwise move back to California and quit whining.
