Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are seeking information on the shooting death of a male grizzly bear after the animal’s carcass was found Sunday in the Clearwater River, downstream of the Farm to Market Road Bridge.
According to a Thursday press release from the federal agency, investigators believe the grizzly carcass was dumped from the Farm to Market Road Bridge into the Stillwater River sometime between May 25 and May 28.
State and wildlife officials are asking for anyone with information on this case, or anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area during that time, to call the service special agent at 406-329-3000 or 1-800-TIP-MONT.
Callers do not have to identify themselves, and a reward of up to $2,000 may be available for information leading to a conviction.
