"Grizzly Bear Hunt: Montana Park Partially Closed as Authorities Search for Mauled Hunter's Attacker"

Part of the Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana has been closed after a hunter was severely mauled by a grizzly bear. The attack occurred while the hunter was tracking a deer, and emergency crews airlifted the victim to a nearby hospital. Authorities are searching for the bear, which may have been shot. This incident follows a series of aggressive encounters between humans and grizzly bears in Montana, including a recent case where a grizzly broke into a house and another where a grizzly fatally mauled a woman on a forest trail. The Montana Department of Fish and Game warns that as the bear population grows, the likelihood of encounters between grizzlies and humans is increasing.
