A bow hunter is recovering after he survived a grizzly bear mauling, reportedly by remembering a tip from a magazine and shoving his arm down the animal’s throat.
Chase Dellwo, 26, was hunting with his brother north-west of the town of Choteau on Saturday when he came face-to-face with male grizzly weighing up to 400lb pounds (180kg), the Great Falls Tribune reported.
“He let go but he was still on top of me roaring the loudest roar I have ever heard,” Dellwo said.
“I remembered an article that my grandmother gave me a long time ago that said large animals have bad gag reflexes,” he said. “So I shoved my right arm down his throat.”
“I want everyone to know that it wasn’t the bear’s fault. He was as scared as I was,” Dellwo said.
