A 72-year-old was alone picking huckleberries in a Montana forest. Then, a grizzly bear attacked him


A 72-year-old Montana man shot and killed a grizzly bear after it attacked him while he was alone picking huckleberries, according to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. FWP’s wardens and bear specialists referred to the incident as a “surprise defensive encounter.”The man reportedly shot the bear with a handgun after the adult female grizzly charged him, the release stated. People should be prepared to encounter grizzly or black bears in Montana. Grizzly bears, which live in the US states of Montana, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington, feed on berries as part of their diet, according to the North American Bear Center. Bear attacks are rare, with most bears usually interested in protecting their space, food or cubs, according to the National Park Service.
