A hunter was injured by a wounded black bear in Onslow county, North Carolina earlier this week.
Vince Cox was in a hunting party of four when he shot, but did not kill, the bear, said Kenny Huffman, forest wildlife manager.
“They were hunting the bear … shot him, then went to him when it happened,” Huffman said. “It was just a hunting accident. The bear was wounded. They didn't kill him right off the bat.”
Cox received bites on the leg and was airlifted for treatment to Pitt County Memorial Hospital. He was released Wednesday and is recuperating at home.
