Idaho has been in the news almost every week this year regarding bear attacks or break in's, never seen anything like it.
Today I was at the local Mexican resurant & the waitress was telling me her dad was bowhunting saturday & he was sitting on a waterhole & happened to fall asleep, common, I do the same thing from time to time. Her husband & his dad had already tagged out on elk so her dad was alone at the time. He said he heard a noise that woke him up & a bear was running straight at him. He didn't have a bear tag but jumped to his feet & drew his bow in self defense & the bear veered off & disappeared into the brush. Spooky way to wake up from a nap!
While she was telling me the story she happened to look at her cell phone & said "oh my gosh" somebody got attacked by a bear yesterday (sunday) I came home & saw it on the news. A man & woman were bow hunting east of here in the Dry Valley area & the woman was attacked by a black bear, she said she did see some cubs close by. The husband fired a gun in the air that scared off the bear then drove his wife to the local Soda Springs hospital where she was treated for bite wounds & released.
This has been going on all year with black bears & grizzlies in Idaho.
