In light of a fatal grizzly attack near Yellowstone National Park, we revisit a Calgary man's harrowing account of being attacked by a bear, which continues to offer lessons about life and trauma. See more in this article by arts writer EricVolmers yyc

It’s been two months since the book’s release and Evans says he still averages two media interviews a week and is often asked to participate in podcasts. Among other things, Mauled includes Evans’ gripping, first-person account of the attacks. But Evans says much of the ongoing interest in the book tends to focus on him dealing with the psychological after-effects.

Still, there is no denying the visceral melodrama of Evans’s account of the attacks and immediate aftermath. He had been scouting for hunting spots in August 2017 before the opening of bighorn sheep season when he was attacked by a grizzly who was protecting her cubs. He was attacked three times. “It’s a little too close and hard for me to read,” he says. “It brings up some really emotional times. I’ve read the majority, skimmed through them, but I haven’t read it in complete detail because it’s very hard.”Fatal bear attack prompts reminders of wildlife safety, gives insight into bear behaviour
