Hunter gives jarring account of what it felt like to be mauled by bear

Jadon Nicoara, 27, recounted a horrifying brown bear attack in Alaska where he heard his own bones crunching as the bear mauled him and his cousin. His cousin, Daniel, a doctor, intervened by shooting at the bear and then playing dead while Nicoara was severely injured. Both were eventually rescued, and a fundraiser has been set up for Nicoara’s medical expenses.
