Two female grizzly bears trapped on private property in Carbon County, MT, were euthanized after they killed a calf.
The depredation was reported Oct. 4, and after the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) and USDA Wildlife Services investigated, they set a trap. One adult female grizzly and a juvenile grizzly were captured in the trap.
The adult was captured in 2018 for a similar incident, and both bears have been involved in two other recent depredations. FWP and Wildlife Services recommended euthanisia.
In cases of depredation or wounded livestock, call your local USDA Wildlife Services agent.
