Young Male Grizzly Caught And Relocated

Print

A second young male grizzly was caught on May   near Swan Lake and moved to Sullivan Creek in the South Fork drainage. FWP Grizzly Bear Management Specialist Tim Manley said that the young bear was the sibling of the 2-year old male grizzly that was captured and released on site last weekend.   The two bears were split up to reduce the likelihood of more conflicts.   Interesting to note, during a survey flight, Manley observed the mother of the two young grizzlies near a large male on a high slope in the Swan Mountains.   Manley speculated that the adult female had kicked out her young as breeding season is now underway.
