Kenora hunter mauled by bear

A moose hunter was attacked by a black bear in the bush north of Kenora. The Ministry of Natural Resources confirms the attack took place this past Monday near Chase Lake, just south of Woodland Caribou Park. MNR Spokesperson Leo Heyens says the hunter managed to fire an arrow at it but was still mauled. Heyens says parts of the bear have been sent away for testing to find out what kind of condition the animal was in.
