Wasilla, Alaska-AP -- A 54-year-old hunter says he can laugh about it now -- but he sure wasn't laughing then.
Bill Murphy survived an attack by a grizzly bear this month while he was hunting on a remote trail in Alaska.
Murphy says he used duct tape to bind his bite wounds, then rode an all-terrain vehicle to his pick-up truck and drove himself to a hospital. The hunter says the attack happened when he surprised a grizzly cub and its mother.
He says the mother bear quickly pinned him face-down, clamping her jaws around his shoulder and shaking him like a rag. He says he felt teeth pressing on his skin -- then a "pop" as they sliced through.
The bear then let go, standing over Murphy and panting and drooling on his head. It then moved away. Murphy says he has no idea how long the attack lasted -- but says it felt like "two lifetimes."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
