"As soon as she me, I saw her black eyes glare at me and then without warning she dropped and became a blurred brown object barreling at me. I instinctively went into a defensive mode. I immediately dropped, face down, and placed my rifle underneath my right elbow...she went for my head and started chewing. She wasn't able to get my whole head in her mouth, so when she bit down, her teeth would grade and slide off my skull." Terry Everard (survived grizzly attack in Sept. 1992)
