A hunter in Montana was injured in a grizzly bear attack this week, not far from where three others were injured days ago in two separate attacks, wildlife officials said.

The Ohio hunter, who has not been publically identified, survived Tuesday’s attack in the western Gravelly Mountains, which happened eight miles south of the site of last week's attacks.

The hunter in the most recent attack was prepared to defend himself, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks said in a statement Wednesday. He fired multiple shots at the bear after being attacked while walking through blown-down timber, the officials said.

The hunter fired at the bear until it left. He then rejoined other members of his hunting party and was able to get medical attention, the department said. The extent of his injuries has not been released.
