A Troy man shot and killed a grizzly in the Cabinet Mountains and state wildlife officials say he did it in self defense.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks reports the man was hunting mule deer on Dad Peak on last Friday. He told officials he spooted two grizzlies about 50 yards ahead of him. The man said he yelled at them and waved his gun. But he says the bears started to move toward him.
That's when the man realized there were three bears. He said he yelled again and hoped the animals would run off. But the larger bear reportedly charged and the hunter shot the bear about 25 yards out.
The man hiked out and reported the shooting to wildlife officials. After an investigation, Fish, Wildlife and Parks
officials ruled the shooting of the adult female grizzly was justifiable.
