capture operations are once again about to begin within the Gravelly and Madison ranges of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and adjacent private lands and the northwestern, northeastern, and southwestern portions of the Custer Gallatin National Forest, south of I-90, and adjacent private lands.

The grizzly bear was captured for cattle depredation on private land.

Between April 3 and May 13, the 400-pound grizzly bear overturned several large, bear-resistant dumpsters and gained access to human food and trash near Old Faithful, the Nez Perce Picnic Area, and the Midway Geyser Basin parking lot.

Based on observed behavior and evidence, it is likely that a male grizzly bear in the area led to the separation of the yearlings from GB1063 and was responsible for the depredation. The status of the third yearling remains unknown.

The grizzly bear was captured in association with conflict management efforts for cattle depredation, this bear was not the bear responsible for depredation and was released away from the calving pasture.
