Hunting moose with his wife Josie, Max Tylee ventured into dense brush without his rifle. Max was bitten on his head and upper body. He remains in critical condition in a Vancouver hospital. The bear also charged Josie Tylee, who retreated to her nearby truck for safety. Provincial Conservation officer Gary Van Spengen said that efforts to locate the bear have been suspended after a reconstruction of the affair revealed that Tylee had inadvertently walked to within 10 yards of the concealed bear.
