Idaho bowhunter survives grizzly attack
An Idaho hunter survived a grizzly bear attack earlier this week in southeast Idaho.
According to Idaho and Fish and Game, on the morning of Sunday, Sept. 1, an archery hunter was attacked by an adult male grizzly bear west of Henrys Lake in Island Park. The man was hunting elk with a friend on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest near the Divide Creek Road when the attack occurred.
During the surprise encounter, one of the hunters was knocked down and bitten by the bear. Both men were able to utilize their sidearms to shoot the bear, deterring the attack and killing the bear.
