GIG HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — Two traps baited with doughnuts and maple syrup have been set in a wooded area near Gig Harbor in an attempt to catch the bear that mauled a woman.
Fish and Wildlife Department Capt. Dan Brinson told The News Tribune of Tacoma the bear will killed.
The woman was attacked Sunday while walking her dog, which survived. Brinson says she suffered a severe laceration to an arm and bites to her back. She’s recovering at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma after surgery.
The injured woman was found by a couple driving by. Wildlife agents hunted for the bear with dogs Sunday, but they lost the scent in the rain.
