‘Ain’t going to get me’: Sask. man speaks after bear attack
The next time Jeff Haydukewich sets out on a hunting expedition, he’ll be leaving the bow at home and packing the rifle.
But it’ll be awhile before he’ll be able to venture back into the great outdoors, after being attacked by a black bear on Labour Day.
Haydukewich is recovering at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon after the Monday ordeal, which happened near Weirdale — about half-an-hour northeast of Prince Albert.
He was staged in a tree, hunting for elk, when a mother bear and her three cubs approached his bait pile at the base of his hideout.
