SHELL LAKE, Wis. — A man who was attacked by a black bear outside a cabin in northwestern Wisconsin is recovering at a hospital.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says the man was attacked in his yard near Shell Lake on Monday night. DNR carnivore specialist David MacFarland says the man's dog apparently initiated contact with the bear.
MacFarland says the man's brother came out of the cabin and shot and injured the bear, which ran away.
