Black Bear Attacks St. Regis Camper

A man camping near St. Regis had to go to the hospital after a black bear bit him through his tent.  Rob Holmes of Ellensburg, Washington needed 21 stitches to close the injury to his ear lobe.  The animal ran off before anybody saw it.  Wardens found similar bite marks in canned food at a nearby abandoned camp site. “He did everything right,” Jeff Darrah, FWP Warden Captain in Missoula, said.  “He kept a clean camp and did not place himself at risk.  Unfortunately, food and other attractants that were abandoned at another nearby camp likely drew the bear in”/ Mark Holyoak , KPAX.
