There is alot of ways at looking at this event but this guy is a lucky fellow in the Big Bad Bob as it was put.
A man was attacked by a black bear Friday morning in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and officials believe they have killed the responsible bear.
Jim Satterfield, regional supervisor for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said the attack happened in the Black Bear Creek area of the wilderness at about 7:30 a.m.
Satterfield said officials killed a bear matching the description at about 1:40 p.m. The bear had pepper spray on its fur and blood on its claws, he said.
�We�re pretty sure we got the right bear,� Satterfield said.
The victim was taken by ALERT helicopter to Kalispell Regional Medical Center. A hospital administrator told The Associated Press the man�s injuries were not life-threatening and he was expected to recover.
The U.S. Forest Service assisted in the investigation.
Black Bear Creek is deep inside the 2,400-square-mile wilderness area, about 25 miles southeast of Hungry Horse Reservoir.
