Grizzly Bears lately have been busy and getting themselves into trouble. Now, Wyoming Game and Fish is reporting that they have captured and relocated an adult female grizzly bear on a US Forest Service grazing allotment west of Dubois last Thursday where it had been killing cattle.
In cooperation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Shoshone National Forest, the bear was relocated to the Five Mile Creek drainage approximately five miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park where a problem bear from near Pinedale had been relocated about one day earlier.
The selection of a relocation site is determined taking into consideration the age, sex, and type of conflict the bear was involved in as well as potential human activity in the vicinity of the relocation site. Bears that are deemed an immediate threat to human safety are not released back into the wild.
