Grizzly attack near Sparwood fourth in B.C. in 12 days

[James holden]

A man was hunting northeast of Sparwood, in the Grave Prairie area, when he came across a mother bear and her cub around 7:30 this morning. “The hunter was just out walking this morning, and was just in the wrong place and the wrong time. There appears to have been nothing that the hunter could have done any differently to have prevented this,” says Schley. ……… The attack follows three prior grizzly bear attacks this month: one near Cranbrook, one in Canal Flats south of Invermere, and another one last weekend near Fort Nelson. …….. The two were hunting for sheep last Sunday in the Buckinghorse River area north of Fort Nelson when they stumbled across a mother bear and her two cubs. They say the grizzly first attacked Eyre before going after Austin. … In total, there have been seven grizzly bear attacks in British Columbia this year, and five black bear attacks. more at link …. http://globalnews.ca/news/2218631/grizzly-attack-near-sparwood-fourth-in-b-c-in-ten-days/
