Alaska State Troopers said in a Wednesday dispatch that the mauling of 47-year-old Plano resident Gregory Joseph Matthews Tuesday was first reported at about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. The attack occurred near Doroshin Bay, at the north end of Skilak Lake in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
“It was reported that (Matthews) was attacked by a brown bear with cubs while moose hunting,” troopers wrote. “Matthews suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.”
A LifeMed air ambulance flew Matthews to Central Peninsula Hospital, where staff reported that he was in good condition late Wednesday morning.
