I tried using pepper spray on my wife once and I still got attacked. I think taking the wife is the best idea I've heard she could have that bear cowering in a second.

RE: Grizzly bear challenge, 100 yard full charge
This guy charged me back in October. Not a real threating charge, but he did growl, pop his jaws, stood up and came at me stomping the ground with both paws. I was out only with my camcorder, no gun or bow. I was able to hang around this guy for nearly 15 minutes from 30 or so yards most of the time.
Most attacks happen in a surprise situation, and as you can read from most of these stories, the vast majority of these charges end up with the bear moving off. Bears would make great poker players as they lay down some of the best bluffs on the planet. I've been charged 4 times now, and have seen other instances of charges. However when you hear about maulings, it is very rare to hear about hunters being mauled, you always here campers (like Timothy Snackwell), hikers, bikers, etc.
I'd hope that if somebody was going into bear country, especially to hunt bears, they'd learn their behaviours, and what to watch for and how to try and stay out of dangerous situations.

My Oly Arms 375 H&H Ackley Improved (because it holds six rounds) with 380grain Rhinobullets at 2550fps. Second choice would be my A-square/Enfield in 470 Capstick with 500gr Woodleigh solids.

Dude, I thought you got yourself eaten by one of those brown bear up AK way!
Did you get to test your theory on the shotgun vs. Ursilus Horriblus yet?
Anytime, bring them on.

Limited to my collection, I would be in big trouble I think... I am relegated to using my 300 WSM and the heaviest load I could find.... if I had some more $ I most likely would own both a 12 gauge and 338 (Win Mag or 338 Ultra Mag), so they would be my choices. I would choose whatever I could be most accurate with. Gotta him first and foremost to stop him!
