A Navy veteran who was attacked by a grizzly bear in Montana had his jaw torn off and is in critical, but stable condition, his family shared in a GoFundMe post.
A Navy veteran who was mauled in a vicious grizzly bear attack onRudy Noorlander, the owner and operator of Alpine Adventures in Big Sky, was assisting a hunting party in tracking a deer when he encountered two grizzly bears near Yellow Mule Trail. Left with no choice but to fight with his bare hands, Noorlander was seriously injured in the attack and had his jaw torn off by a 10-feet-tall bear.
Rescue crews reached the injured hunter near Yellow Mule Trail and airlifted him to a hospital in Bozeman, Montana. "Instinctively, he pulled out his firearm in hopes of scaring away the grizzly," Davis wrote. However, before he had time to react,"a different 10 foot tall and far more aggressive bear was on him."
"The Grizzly left a large scratch down his right chest, bit his arms, legs, and to top it all off, gave him as what Rudy describes as the most disgusting French kiss of his life before biting down and tearing off his lower jaw," Davis wrote.Fortunately, Noorlander was not alone and the hunters in his party managed to scare the bear away and call for help.
