Man survives grizzly attack — twice

A man scouting for elk in Montana surprised a sow grizzly bear with cubs and was attacked not once, but TWICE on Saturday. “Yeah, life sucks in bear country,” Todd Orr, 50, said with his face covered in blood as he made a short video at the scene. Surviving the first attack, he waited until the bears had left and started down the trail. Before he could travel the three miles, the grizzly sow attacked again and really did a number on him. Bear spray worked in deterring a grizzly attack on a group in Yellowstone National Park this summer, but it did not work in this case/ Rich Landers, SR Outdoors. More here.

DFO: A Montana friend of mine survived a grizzly attack in Glacier National Park years ago. Two of his friends used bear spray to get the grizzly off of him. Physically, he was OK. But I don’t think he got over it emotionally.
