Wyoming Bear Attack Glock had No Round in Chamber, Magazine & Pistol Separated
U.S.A. -(Ammoland.com)- On Friday afternoon, the 14th of September, Mark Uptain, a hunting guide, and Corey Chubon, a bow hunter, were attacked by grizzly bears as they processed an elk carcass. Chubon had mortally wounded the elk with an arrow, the day before, but they had not recovered it before nightfall.
They came back the next day and followed a good blood trail to the dead elk.
They had nearly finished processing it when they were attacked by the grizzly bears. The attack started with a full out charge. Uptain was hit by the bear first, then Chubon, then the bear went back to Uptain. Chubon fled and survived, getting help.
The investigations have nearly finished, and some questions have been answered. It was known that Mark Uptain’s Glock 20 10 mm semi-automatic pistol was with the hunters’ packs. People have wondered why the pistol was in a pack, where it did little good for defense from bears. The Glock 20 was the only firearm at the scene of the attack.
