Black Bear Hunter Killed By Grizzly
September 19, 2011.
A 39-year-old hunter killed by a wounded grizzly bear yelled out to draw the 400-pound male bear toward him in an effort to keep it from attacking his hunting partner, the man’s family said.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office in Montana said Steve Stevenson, of Winnemucca, NV., died Friday after 20-year-old Ty Bell wounded what he thought was a black bear and the two men tracked it into thick cover along the Idaho-Montana border. The bear attacked at about 10 a.m. Friday.
The death is at least the third fatality caused by a grizzly since July.
