Authorities have closed portions of Custer Gallatin National Forest just outside of Big Sky, Montana, after a person was attacked by a grizzly bear while hunting.

The US Forest Service announced the emergency closure in a Friday news release. The agency didn’t specify how long the area would be closed to the public. The park borders the northeast part of Yellowstone National Park.

On Friday at 1:47 pm local time, officials received a call from a hunting party reporting that a member of their group had been “attacked by a grizzly bear while tracking a deer,” Gallatin County Sheriff Search and Rescue said in a Facebook post.

The US Forest Service added the victim had shot at and likely wounded the bear.

I know the two replies are jokes so far, but this is really important news for people who live in this area, such as myself. This is the second bear attack this season in the general area that I'm aware of, though I can't remember if the first one was a black or grizzly. Hopefully the circumstances of the attack are known; and hopefully it's explainable. Otherwise it's unlikely they can capture the bear and remove it, and we'll have another dangerous bear in the area, which poses a major risk for outdoor enthusiasts.
