RCMP are investigating after an American hunter was shot dead while on a guided bear hunt in northeastern B.C. earlier this week.
Cpl. Dave Tyreman says the 59-year-old Washington State man was shot on Tuesday afternoon while hunting in the Tahsta Reach Forest Service area around 112 kilometres south of Houston.
But police won't say yet if they believe the shooting was accidental, or suspicious.
"Basically it's too early in the investigation. And that is what we're investigating, is the circumstances, or the cause of this shooting," said Tyreman.
The B.C. Coroners Service and the Conservation Officer Service are also looking into the shooting.
Tyreman says the victim's family in Washington state have been notified. However, police aren't releasing the hunter's name.
