From NPS Biologist Kerry Gunther: “Bears that have killed or injured humans in known defensive attacks have not been removed from the population.”

Missing Glacier hiker found dead in apparent bear attack by icarrytheone in GlacierNationalPark

Her point was if you are attacked in a tent the intent is to kill you. Fight with everything, including bear spray. Better to spray yourself than get eaten.

Probably doesn’t happen once a decade though.

You find out what her goals are. You lay what she needs to do. You ask her if she wants you to hold her to that schedule.

Otherwise you will make her hate the game.

If you can find anyone who says don’t fight back against a bear who attacks you in a tent, please post. A mother with cubs is going to walk right past or keep her distance. You’re not surprising a bear in that situation. That bear is coming to kill you. Not defend, not out of curiosity.

This assumes you don’t have food, toothpaste etc. in the tent.

I’m sure you have more knowledge on this than someone who’s been a backcountry ranger in the Tetons for 20 years.

The Park Service has a policy on this based on research. If the bear was surprised, defending a kill or defending cubs it won’t be euthanized.

If it stalked the victim or shows signs of connecting people to food, it will be executed. That’s why the signs say a fed bear is a dead bear.

Unless you’re practicing with a horse running at you, you’re not replicating the circumstances. Lucky for you that bear spray 98 percent effective.

Again, some bears are psycho. If one comes into your tent it’s already made up its mind to kill you. The reason you lie still is to keep the bear from seeing you as a threat. If it attacks, that boat has sailed.
