Hunter recovering from mountain lion attack
The state wildlife agency says a hunter is recovering from a weekend attack by a mountain lion, southeast of Kalispell.
The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks says the hunter was on a trail yesterday when he heard a growl, turned and saw the lion 10 to 15 feet away. The man dropped his rifle and sought protection behind a tree, but the lion pounced on his back and knocked him into the tree. The man was able to grab his pistol, fired a shot and the mountain lion fled.
The hunter, whose name was withheld, received medical attention at a hospital and was released.
