Another hunter has been injured by a Grizzly near Cody. Wildlife officials say a Cody man suffered minor injuries when a surprised grizzly bear took a swipe at him while he was elk hunting in northwestern Wyoming. Brian DeBolt, a bear management officer with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, says the man encountered the bear west of Buffalo Bill Reservoir just before 5 p.m. Saturday. The grizzly charged from about 12 feet, hit the man and left. The man suffered a scalp injury, minor abrasions to his face and sore ribs. He was treated at a Cody hospital and was released the same night.
DeBolt said his department has no plans to capture the bear because it was simply reacting to a perceived threat.
