WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. A bear mauled a Montana man causing him severe injuries near a campground just west of Yellowstone National Park.
The violent encounter happened Thursday afternoon in an area of timber near Bakers Hole Campground in the Custer Gallatin National Forest, three miles north of West Yellowstone Montana. The campground along the Madison River was closed for the season at the time.
The victim, a West Yellowstone resident, was able to call 911 following the mauling at about 3:45 p.m. He was located after an off-trail search of about 50 minutes and taken by toboggan and snowmobile to an ambulance before being transported the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, according the sheriff’s office.
