An adult male grizzly was captured and relocated Tuesday after Department of Agriculture wildlife officials determined the bear had killed a yearling domestic bull on a grazing allotment near Island Park Reservoir.
A culvert trap was placed at the kill site on August 2nd, and wildlife officers were able to successfully capture the bear. Biologists gave the grizzly a thorough health and body condition assessment before fitting the bear with a GPS collar and relocating it to a remote area near Snow Creek Butte just west of the Yellowstone Boundary in Fremont County, Idaho.
Fish and Game will continue to monitor the bear’s movements and activities.
