An elk hunter who headed into the B.C. wilderness with his teenage sons over the weekend was forced to fight for his life after a mother grizzly bear attacked.
Jake Blackmore says he was in an area near Fernie on Saturday with his sons when, out of nowhere, the bear charged.
“She football-tackled into the side of me and carried me forward about 30 feet,” Blackmore told CTV Vancouver. “I was like a rag doll.”
