A man in British Columbia suffered "significant injuries" after being attacked by a grizzly bear while hunting with his father, Canadian authorities said Friday.
The 36-year-old man and his father were tracking a bear with dogs on Thursday near Elkford — a remote area about 80 miles southwest of Calgary — when an adult grizzly bear suddenly attacked him, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a news release. Despite suffering broken bones and lacerations during the attack, the man was able to defend himself with his gun and the bear ran off. His father called for help.
The victim suffered "significant injuries" and was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Calgary, where he remains, according to the Conservation Officer Service. The man was in stable condition when he was flown from the scene, police said.
