Grizzly bear euthanized near Dupuyer after cattle depredations
DUPUYER – After receiving final authorization from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service a male grizzly was euthanized Wednesday after a series of calf depredations across five ranches in the Dupuyer area.
The 6-year-old bear weighing nearly 450 pounds was first tagged as a non-target capture east of Dupuyer in 2019, and bear managers identified it this spring by images collected on game cameras set at depredation sites. Despite repeated attempts, they were unable to trap the bear and it was shot when it returned to feed on one of the depredations along Dupuyer Creek late Wednesday evening.
