Grizzly Bear Killed Near Ovando – Restrictions Remain in Place
Wildlife officials trapped and killed a grizzly bear early Friday morning that they believe may be responsible for the attack that killed 65 year-old Leah Davis Lokan of Chico, California, an incident that has garnered worldwide media attention.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Information and Program Manager Greg Lemon described how the bear was trapped and killed.
“Thursday morning we got a call that that night a bear had raided a chicken coop less than two miles away from Ovando,” said Lemon. “On inspection of that incident, the tracks looked to be the same the behavior of the raid on the chicken coop was really similar to what the bear had done to the chicken coop in Ovando on Tuesday morning, and so we thought we might have the same bear so we set out a trap.”
