SHELL LAKE, Wis. � A man who was attacked by a black bear in northwestern Wisconsin is recovering at a hospital in the Twin Cities.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says the man was attacked while out in his yard near Shell Lake Monday about 9:30 p.m. DNR carnivore specialist David MacFarland says the man's dog apparently had initiated contact with the bear before the man was attacked.

MacFarland says the man's brother was in the cabin, came out and shot and injured the bear, which ran away.

The Burnett County Sheriff's Department says the man was taken by a private party to the hospital in Shell Lake. The DNR says the man was taken by air to a hospital in the Twin Cities. MacFarland says the man is in stable condition.

DNR employees are trying to find the bear.

Yikes. Hope he's ok.

A lot of people don't take black bears seriously, I'm not one of them. I've been bluff charged twice, once in montana, the other in arizona. Both episodes required an underwear inspection.

So when oberry gets back from the G8 he can give the bear an award!

The increases in the bear population up there is amazing. It still takes years to get a tag. While they're "Fixing" the DNR, they need to (Fix) the bear population, too, along with the wolves.

Shouldn't be hard to find with all those drones and when momma bear calls for him to pickup some milk and bread it'll be all over due to the NSA.
