The Wyoming Game and Fish Department trapped and relocated a sub-adult male grizzly bear June 27, 2015. The bear was a non-target capture during an effort to trap a bear killing cattle on a U.S. Forest Service grazing allotment north of Pinedale, Wyoming. In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Shoshone National Forest, the bear was relocated to the Five Mile Creek drainage approximately five miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park within the North Fork of the Shoshone River drainage west of Cody. The release site is located in currently occupied grizzly bear habitat.
