Brown Bear That Mauled Hunter Found Dead

This is a few days old, but a brown bear that mauled a hunter has been found dead close to the original attack site.

From the Associated Press:

The adult female bear was found Wednesday mortally wounded about 100 yards from the attack site in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge after being shot. Officials say two bullet wounds were found in the bear.

There were no signs of her cubs. Game officials said the bear was not actively nursing, suggesting the cubs were at least yearlings and possibly 2- or 3-year-olds old.

Gregory Matthews of Plano (PLAY’-noh), Texas, is recovering at a nearby hospital after being attacked Tuesday while moose hunting.
