Suddenly you hear a growl behind you. You dont even have to look. You allready know it's a bear. and you have nothing to defend yourself against it. So it's not starvation that would take you, you end up as bearfood.

"I have my gun."

Really?

Oh, yes, really! You'll note that the shot sort of sprayed outward without doing any damage worth describing, and was merely a distraction.

Like a handgun, or a paintball gun, which would do little more than anger or agitate a bear before it could kill you, and would be an inadequate form of defense.

But seeing as there is a Grizzly around to take advantage of the distraction, it works out okay.

That said, I'll update the reply to say I used "birdshot."

I have my gun, my aim may be unsteady, but I can definitely hit a bear from this distance with birdshot.

I line up the barrel, and hit my mark, the broad back of the brute is pelted with pellets, and the monster takes advantage of the momentary distraction.
