Wyoming College Wrestlers Fight Off Fierce Grizzly Bear in ‘Surprise’ Attack
A pair of Northwest College wrestlers are lucky to be alive after tussling with a massive grizzly bear in the woods near Cody, Wyoming, during a weekend hunting trip.
The group of four teammates had finished antler hunting and had broken into two groups heading towards their vehicles when wrestler Brady Lowry noticed bear feces in the trail.
“I saw bear crap all over, and I looked at Kenny and said, ‘There is a grizzly bear here,” Lowry told KSL-TV, referring to teammate Kendell Cummings who had stayed back with him to search for more shedded antlers. “And right after I said that, the bear came out of the willows. It was thick. It came at me and charged me and tackled me off this cliff into this gully and was going at me for a little bit.”
