If they hadn't seen this man or had flown over another area, he might have been the victim of a bear that hunted him for several days.

"If we had been in the nearby river valley, we wouldn't have seen it," Lt. Commander Jared Carbajal said.

An unidentified man was rescued on July 16 near the small town of Nome, the coast guard said.

A few days before the rescue, this man was attacked by a bear. Then, every night for several days, "the bear returned to the camp and harassed him."

The team noticed a man waving his arms after seeing an SOS sign on the roof of a hut in a mining camp, they said.

He was diagnosed with a leg injury, and the victim was immediately taken to hospital for treatment.

According to rescuers, the man had been in the shack since July 12. It is unclear how he ended up in the remote camp, writes The New York Post.

J. Hammack, a 35-year-old co-pilot, said in an interview that he saw a man stumble out of his hut.

“We haven’t really encountered people in this wilderness,” Lt. Hammack said. “This man seemed to be struggling.” When we arrived, he was on all fours waving a white flag.”

Lieutenant Hammak noticed that the rescuer's leg was tied with a ribbon.

“It definitely looked like it had been there for days,” he said.

Representatives of the coast guard said that this man, who looks 50-60 years old, practically did not sleep all this time, he was almost out of cartridges.

“The man had a gun. According to him, the bear returned every night, and he did not sleep for several days,” Carbajal explained.

Usually deadly bear attacks are rare, according to a Backpacker magazine report, but they have skyrocketed this year in North America.

In 2021, bears killed five people, up from four in 2020 and two in 2019.

Just a few weeks ago, on July 6, in Montana, a 64-year-old woman was killed by a grizzly bear.
