A four-year old male grizzly was captured northwest of the Meadow Lake Resort golf course on Oct. 2. The 333-pound bear was captured about 50 yards from a residence in the vicinity of Chubb Lane.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks grizzly bear management specialist Tim Manley said the bear had been reported eating apples in residential areas over the past week. The bear was released the next day up the North Fork in the upper Whale Creek area.
The bear, which had not been previously captured, was fitted with a radio collar so biologists can follow its movements.
