A hunter in Alaska is found dead after being mauled by a bear

A man from Sitka, Alaska, was found dead Wednesday after he was apparently attacked by a brown bear during a deer hunting trip.

Fujioka had killed a deer before being attacked by the brown bear. 'The area is remote and there are a lot of bears,' said Tim DeSpain.

Troopers and members of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game searched for bears 'until daylight constraints affected the search, and did not locate the bears,' DeSpain said.

There are 30,000 brown bears estimated to be in Alaska, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
