A grizzly bear that was caught killing cattle in Wyoming has been relocated, according to a report from the Big Horn Radio Network in Cody. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department trapped and relocated the adult female grizzly bear Sept 14. The bear was captured for killing cattle on a U.S. Forest Service grazing allotment north of Pinedale, WY. In cooperation with the Shoshone National Forest, the bear was relocated to the Mormon Creek drainage, about five miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The release site is in currently occupied grizzly bear habitat.
