Male grizzly captured near Cody and moved

Wyoming Game and Fish personnel captured and relocated an adult male grizzly bear Saturday, September 21.

It was captured on private lands northwest of Cody, Wyoming for livestock depredation on private lands. The bear was relocated to Blackrock Creek drainage, about 20 miles east of Moran Junction.

Carnivore biologists said the relocation will minimize conflicts with humans.

The selection of a relocation site is determined by taking into consideration the age, sex, and type of conflict the bear was involved in. The site in Blackrock Creek was picked due to the lack of human presence in the area.
