Grizzly

The Greater Yellowstone grizzly population has grown beyond 700.

Officials say people can now expect to see grizzly and black bears in the area through the beginning of next winter.

As part of his punishment, Blury is prohibited from hunting, trapping or fishing for the remainder of this year.

The groups say Wyoming lacks authority to hold a grizzly hunt.

The Camp Creek site was chosen due to the lack of human presence and ability to release the bears several miles behind closed gates.

They have not released the name of the guide who shot the bear.

Biologists sedate the grizzly bears and fit them with tracking collars. They also collect samples and take measurements.

State and federal officials reacted with disappointment.

The sow was shot by wildlife managers on Sunday after it charged them.

State game department official Brad Hovinga said Monday that the female bear's later attack made sense because the workers had trapped her cub.
