TETONIA - The search continues for a grizzly bear that mauled an eastern Idaho man this week.

Authorities say 33-year-old Timothy Henderson is listed in good condition at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.

Henderson was attacked just outside his rural Tetonia home Tuesday night moments after he stepped outside to look for his barking dog. He was knocked down by the bear and suffered bite and claw marks to his head, shoulders, back and buttocks.

"He just stepped outside of his house to look for his dog, then the bear knocked him down," said Idaho Fish and Game Regional Supervisor Steve Schmidt, who visited the man Wednesday.

"The bear caused significant injuries to his head, back, shoulder and buttocks. In other words, the bear was biting him all over his backside," Schmidt said.

State fish and game officials are trying to capture the grizzly using a series of traps and snares planted near Henderson's home.

"After the well-being of the victim, the safety of the public is our top concern," said Jon Heggen, the state agency's enforcement chief.

They say the bear was in the area snacking on a moose carcass. Henderson's home is about five miles from the Idaho-Wyoming border.

The attack is the first in Idaho since July 3, 2006, when a female grizzly attacked a hiker near the western border of Yellowstone National Park. Grizzly attacks in Idaho are rare compared to neighboring states like Wyoming and Montana, Idaho officials said.
