Kenora Hunter Mauled by Black Bear

The Ministry of Natural Resources says its looking into an attack by a black bear on a hunter north of Kenora.

A moose hunter was mauled last Monday morning just south of WoodLand Caribou Provincial Park on Chase Lake.

MNR spokesperson Leo Heyens says because black bear attacks are relatively rare, they want to find out if there was anything wrong with the animal.

The hunter was able to kill the bear using an arrow.

The Kenora man was taken to Lake of the Woods District Hospital and is recovering from his injuries.
