Grizzly relocated to Mormon Creek

Posted

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department captured and relocated a sub-adult male grizzly bear last week.

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 approximately 5 miles from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park.

With the grizzly bear listed as a federally threatened species, all management decisions made on bears are conducted at the direction of Fish and Wildlife.
