A hunter in Montana was injured in a grizzly bear attack this week, not far from where three others were injured days ago in two separate attacks.
The hunter fired at the bear until it left. He then rejoined other members of his hunting party and was able to get medical attention, the department said. The extent of his injuries has not been released.It is not clear if the same animal is responsible for all three attacks, or if it is normal bear behavior in a populated area,The first two attacks occurred Sept. 16, the department has said. Everyone in those attacks survived.
Grizzly bears are most active in the fall as they try to pack on the pounds for winter hibernation. It's also the time when many hunters are in the field, and most grizzly bear attacks on people occur in"surprise close encounters," the wildlife department said Wednesday. "The Gravelly is an area that they've kind of grown into, so their geographic distribution is growing and their density within that area is also growing," Morgan Jacobsen, a spokesman for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, told NBC Montana.
People are urged to be cautious and aware of their surroundings in bear country, to carry bear spray and travel in groups.
