Two college wrestlers were mauled by a grizzly bear while out hunting near Cody, Wyoming.
Kendell Cummings and Brady Lowry, who are sophomores at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming, were antler hunting west of the Bobcat Houlihan Trail on Saturday afternoon when they had a"sudden, surprise encounter with a grizzly bear" at close range, the department said.
Northwest College President Lisa Watson shared an email with students and staff Sunday confirming the incident and applauding the wrestlers' bravery. The Wyoming Game & Fish Department says there may be six to 10 bears in the area where the wrestlers were attacked, according to reports from landowners and hunters.
