After consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department captured and relocated an adult male grizzly bear on October 10th. The bear was captured while attempting to mitigate conflicts associated with livestock feed on private lands west of Meeteetse. Because the bear was not the individual responsible for the conflicts, the decision was made to relocate the bear to the Carter Mountain area approximately 18 miles southwest of Cody. The decision to relocate the bear was made as it is not considered a threat to human safety.
