The Wyoming Game and Fish Department captured and relocated an adult male grizzly bear from Sublette County to Park County on Thursday.
The bear was captured for killing cattle on a U.S. Forest Service grazing allotment north of Pinedale. In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Shoshone National Forest, the bear was relocated to the Mormon Creek drainage. That’s approximately 5 miles from Yellowstone National Park’s East Entrance. With the region’s grizzlies currently under federal protection, all management decisions are made at the direction of Fish and Wildlife.
Bears that are considered a threat to human safety are not relocated.
