ANCHORAGE —<\/strong> A 21-year-old Alaska man is recovering from a bear mauling.<\/p>\n

Alaska State Troopers said Casey Bradford of Haines was treated for non-life-threatening injuries Thursday night following the brown bear attack along the Chilkat River.<\/p>\n

Troopers said Bradford and his 55-year-old father, Scott Bradford, were heading to their boat after moose hunting when the bear came out of the brush and attacked Casey Bradford from behind.<\/p>\n

Troopers said Scott Bradford shot his rifle over the animal, which released the son then darted into the brush as the father tried to shoot it.<\/p>\n

Troopers said the Bradfords made it to their vehicle and drove to a medical facility. The bear was not immediately found. It’s unknown if it was struck.<\/p>\n

Scott Bradford did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.<\/p>\n
