A female grizzly bear and her cub were relocated last week from outside of Cody to northern Teton County. The bears were not involved in conflict but were captured while mitigating cattle depredation southwest of Cody.
After consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department captured and relocated the bears on July 21st.
In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the bears were relocated to the Bailey Creek area approximately 11 miles north of Moran. This site was chosen due to the lack of human presence.
Consultation with the appropriate personnel and agencies occurs to minimize the chance of future conflicts and maximize the survival potential of the relocated grizzly bears. Bears that are deemed an immediate threat to human safety are not released back into the wild.
