This always depends on how willing/aggregated the animal is. I'm fairly certain I could scare away a bear under the right conditions, but obviously not fight it.

People have survived bear attacks but I’m not sure I’d call that “winning”.

Well I'd call that "taking it in a fight"

People with pointy sticks have defeated bears for thousands of years. You'd be hard pressed to find a person in the wild without their pointy stick.
