LIVINGSTON, Mont. - Authorities say a bow hunter in southern Montana suffered serious injuries from an electric shock when he used a knife to poke a dead bear that was lying on live wires.
The Park County Sheriff's Office says Edward Garcia came across the bear carcass Sunday in the Beattie Gulch area north of Gardiner. The shock from poking the carcass caused injuries to Garcia's torso, head and hands.
The sheriff's office says Garcia walked two miles to find help. He was flown to a burn center in Salt Lake City.

Oh, great. Now we are going to a barrage of stupid public service announcements like the ones that tell you not to lean your metal ladder on live wires.
