The Michigan Department of Natural Resources said a 46-year-old man was injured Thursday night in a suspected black bear attack.
It happened in Greenwood Township, which is located in Clare County, southeast of Cadillac.
According to the DNR, the man was alone in a ground blind hunting for porcupine. Then, the man said the black bear came up from behind, knocked him over and attacked him.
The DNR said the man stabbed the bear, which scared it off. The bear is believed to be injured.
Right now, the DNR is placing a bear trap in the area, and asking the public to be mindful of the department's efforts to capture the bear.
