"Port Alberni, B.C. — The Canadian Press
Published on Wednesday, Jul. 21, 2010 4:28PM EDT Last updated on Wednesday, Jul. 21, 2010 5:23PM EDT Two campers have been wounded and one needs surgery after a bear attacked while they were sleeping in Port Alberni, B.C. The 70-kilogram bear first mauled the 57-year-old man who was asleep in a lean-to shelter in a camping area near Sproat Lake on central Vancouver Island. His 47-year-old friend was sleeping in a nearby tent and came to the rescue by fighting off the bear. Both men have extensive claw wounds, but the older man also has injuries to his skull and was transported to hospital in Nanaimo for surgery. RCMP say the men had been camping for several days in the secluded area and had run into the same bear around their campsite on the first day. Sergeant Kevin Murray of the Port Alberni detachment says people visiting the back country need to be extra vigilant in protecting themselves and their campsites from such wildlife encounters." He was sleeping in the lean to and woke up with his head in the bears mouth. I camped there in May. I took a picture of a black bear, wonder if its the one. |

I encountered a black bear here just last sunday, hiking a trail out to Buntzen lake to go swimming. Didn't see the bear until I was just a few metres from him. He was just off the trail snacking on huckleberries. Nothing between us but the berry bushes. He stood up on his hind legs to get a good look at me, then turned and walked away. It was pretty neat. Closest I've ever been to one for sure.
