(DUBOIS, WY) – An elk hunter was attacked by a grizzly bear in western Wyoming over the weekend. The attack happened Sunday afternoon just north of Dubois when two elk hunters stumbled upon a female grizzly and her two cubs.
One of the hunters was bit in the side, and the other fended off the bear with pepper spray. The injured man was taken to a hospital in Lander for treatment.
This is the second bear attack in western Wyoming this month. A Sept. 12 incident took the life of a Utah researcher in the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
